error with autotone under cygwin unable to open pixel cache

[fmw42]

convert -list format

will tell you for most formats what version of the delegate you have.


JPEG* JPEG rw- Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format (90)
JPG* JPEG rw- Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format (90)

For some reason your tmpRGB.cache file is missing?

tmpRGB.mpc[0] means use the first frame/page/layer of the file. tmpI.mpc was separated into its R,G,B channels and save in tmpRGB.mpc as 3 separate images. The [X] identifies which image (channel) stored in tmpRGB.mpc to use.

convert.exe: unable to open pixel cache `./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpRGB.mpc': No such file or directory @ error/cache.c/OpenPixelCache/3711.
convert.exe: unable to persist pixel cache `./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpRGB.mpc' @ error/mpc.c/ReadMPCImage/944.
convert.exe: no images defined `./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpT.mpc' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3230.

I do not know Cygwin, but convert.exe is the Windows version of convert and not the unix version you used. Perhaps this is just how IM puts out that error on Windows even if in Cygwin.

One more detail: tmpRGB.cache is deleted by the before last command:

Code: Select all

convert ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpRGB.mpc ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpM.mpc -compose multiply -composite ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpT.mpc

That's why the last command errors out...

One more detail: tmpRGB.cache is deleted by the before last command:

Code: Select all

convert ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpRGB.mpc ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpM.mpc -compose multiply -composite ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpT.mpc

That's why the last command errors out...

That command should not delete the input images. It should only create a new image, tmpT.mpc.

Tried with a smaller image, same result. Going to update to 7.0.1 Q16...

[dncpax]

Ok, upgraded, same error, but... I checked delegates version and for jpegs this is what it shows me:

Code: Select all

      JPE* JPEG      rw-   Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format (80)
     JPEG* JPEG      rw-   Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format (80)
      JPG* JPEG      rw-   Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format (80)

In your case it's (90)...

It would appear that I left in extra commands when creating the format version of the script from my test scripts. The lines 506 and 575 in the graybalance and whitebalance parts of the code do not make sense to me at this time.

Code: Select all

convert $dir/tmpI.mpc $setcspace $reducing -channel RGB -separate $dir/tmpRGB.mpc

So I removed them and the script still functions the same for me on my Mac.

So download autotone again from my web site and see if that works, now.

[dncpax]

Ok, got same error... what boggles me is that I noted down the commands the script executes, and executing either with cygwin or "native" windows, I get the same error.

If I run this sequence of commands it gives the error:

Code: Select all

1 - mkdir AUTOTONE.8608
2 - convert -quiet Product151.tif +repage ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpI.mpc
3 - convert Product151.tif +repage ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpI.mpc
4 - convert ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpI.mpc -auto-level ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpI.mpc
5 - convert ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpI.mpc -resize 25% -channel RGB -separate ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpRGB.mpc
6 - convert ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpI.mpc -resize 25% '(' -clone 0 -colorspace HSB -channel G -negate -separate +channel ')' '(' -clone 0 -colorspace HSB -channel B -separate +channel -solarize 50% -level 0x50% ')' '(' -clone 1 -clone 2 -compose multiply -composite ')' '(' -clone 3 -contrast-stretch 0,1% -fill black +opaque white ')' -delete 0-3 ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpM.mpc
7 - convert ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpRGB.mpc ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpM.mpc -compose multiply -composite ./AUTOTONE.8608/tmpT.mpc

It's the 6th command that removes the rgb.cache... so I removed the "-delete 0-3" part and it ran ok...

[dncpax]

nevermind... it just breaks a bit further on:

Code: Select all

...
+ mean=32738.8
+ maskmean=32738.8
+ convert ./AUTOTONE.4772/tmpRGB.mpc ./AUTOTONE.4772/tmpM.mpc -compose multiply -composite ./AUTOTONE.4772/tmpT.mpc
convert.exe: unable to open pixel cache './AUTOTONE.4772/tmpM.mpc': No such file or directory @ error/cache.c/OpenPixelCache/3520.
convert.exe: unable to persist pixel cache `./AUTOTONE.4772/tmpM.mpc' @ error/mpc.c/ReadMPCImage/934.
++ rm -rf ./AUTOTONE.4772
++ exit 1
+ rm -rf ./AUTOTONE.4772

[dncpax]

I'm going to test it on another machine tomorrow...

[dncpax]

Update: tried on another machine with same error.

I'm now running the scripts in a vbox lubuntu vm. Everything's running although a bit slowish...

Can't figure out what's wrong. But hopefully PandorasBox bat scripts will help the situation.

Thanks to all your help and patience.

Did you try my newer script? If so, it should not have

Code: Select all

convert $dir/tmpRGB.mpc $dir/tmpM.mpc -compose multiply -composite $dir/tmpT.mpc

But should have

Code: Select all

convert $dir/tmpRGB.mpc[X] $dir/tmpM.mpc -compose multiply -composite $dir/tmpT.mpc

one each for X=0,1,2

[dncpax]

yes... I've downloaded it again just now and same error. Noticed it still states "revised 4/21/2016"...

[fmw42]

If you downloaded the correct one, it should say revised 5/1/2016. Check that again or download again. Then be sure you use the new one.

If it still does not work, you can contact dlemstra about converting it to Magick.NET. See https://github.com/dlemstra/FredsImageM ... NET/issues

[dncpax]

no matter what browser I try this always says revised 4/21:
http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/ ... e=autotone

[fmw42]

My error upon upload. Try downloading again. It should now say revised 5/3/2016
