Convert PNG to EPS with Transparency

Post by pennettat »

I am having a really tough time finding an answer to this. I am trying to use just the command line to convert a basic transparent PNG to EPS but whenever I do, the image comes out completely black.

I am using the command:

convert "image1.png" "image1.eps"

Thanks.

What version of IM and what platform? Can you post a link to your PNG file?

The following works perfectly fine for me with IM 6.8.4.10 Q16 Mac OSX Snow Leopard.

convert logot.png logot.eps
display logot.eps
