Hi,

i run into a problem with creating transparent background images defined by clipping path in tif files.

convert source.tiff -fill yellow -draw "color 0 0 reset" -transparent yellow -clip -draw "Image Copy 0,0 0,0 'source.tif'" transparent.tif

results in

convert.exe: no clip path defined `source.tif': No such file or directory @ image.c/
ClipImagePath/1047.

source.tif : http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2kzftddmqjf
(sorry for the host)

It looks to me similiar to the bug described in
http://www.mail-archive.com/magick-bugs ... 00548.html

Im using Version: ImageMagick 6.4.6 2008-11-25 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org

Any ideas why it cant find the clipping path ?

thank for any help

Can you prove the TIFF file includes a clipping path? There could be a bug in our Photoshop parsing algorithm but the current algorithm does not show a resource block with an ID between 1999 and 2008. Is Adobe stuffing clipping paths at another ID now-a-days? If so, let us know which resource block ID it could be.

FYI. Your TIFF image returns these resource ID's:

• 1028
  1061
  1005
  1062
  1037
  1049
  1011
  1034
  10000
  1013
  1016
  1032
  1054
  1050
  1064
  1044
  1036
  1057
  1025

Hi,

i made a screenshot (sorry for the host)

As visible in right pannel, the clipping path is there. I can use it in photoshop to mask the person. Work in photoshop.

I also uploaded thr file without an clipping path. Maybe this can help to identify the clipping path ressource. source_no_path.tif: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?knhmyydyjzm

Any ideas ?

thanks for any help,

Hi,

is there anything i can do to get this working ?

How did you identify the resource id's from the tif ?
Would clip-path ResouceID or clip-mask with ResourceID help ?


thanks in advance for help.

The clipping path is stored in resource ID 1025. It consists of a series of 26-byte path point records which are not yet implemented in ImageMagick.
