.tif won't open in Image Magick

I'm using version ImageMagick-6.3.5-Q16.
I'm simply trying to open a .tif file with the following settings: 8-bit RGBA.

It just keeps displaying a "transparent" background... a checkered pattern. I am however able to open it in the Windows program Paint.

Thank you

Geoff

Post a URL to your TIFF image here so we can download it and reproduce the problem.

you'll see it should open fine in Internet Explorer even, but not in Image Magick.

Thanks

Try this command:
  • convert DB-138_Reel_08_36550_Thumbnails_04.tif +matte db.png
or
  • display +matte DB-138_Reel_08_36550_Thumbnails_04.tif
