Hello,

I'm using WinXP, imagemagick 6.4.1-Q16.
I'm trying to convert my pngs to eps3 using the following command:
convert.exe -verbose ws.png eps3:ws.eps

This is the output
ws.png PNG 655x635 655x635+0+0 8-bit PseudoClass 16c 14.5293kb
ws.png=>ws.eps PNG 655x635 655x635+0+0 8-bit PseudoClass 16c 516.496kb 0.094u 0:01

The created eps file is corrupted and is huge (516kb).
If I use eps1 I get a 800kb size, but if I use eps2 I get a 42kb size only. Both eps1 and eps2 outputs are readable by ghostview.

This problem didn't exist for me in earlier version of ImageMagick (don't remember which version). I just installed this version on a fresh computer and the conversion to eps3 sucks

I'd appreciate your help on this, I'm using ImageMagick to create images for my thesis, which is due in two weeks Alternatively, is there a place where I can download old ImageMagick binaries?

Thanks in advance,
Ron

There is a small bug when the compression is not defined. A work around is to explicitly set the compression like this:

• convert image.png -compress none eps3:image.ps

When I use "-compress none" The file outputted is still huge (500kb for a 14kb input).
It is not corrupt though.

Try:

• convert image.png -compress zip eps3:image.ps

Thank you very much, it works like a charm.
