Hi,
I'm doing a convert from .pdf to .tiff and I specify -depth 8 but when Ioad the resulting tiff in GIMP, it says its 16 bit.
What am I missing?
thank you!

What does ImageMagick say. Try
- convert image.pdf -depth 8 image.tif
identify -verbose image.tif
We tried this sequence and it reported 8-bit depth as expected. We're using ImageMagick 6.5.4-0.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the speedy response. awesome. Here is my command
Code: Select all
convert doc.pdf -depth 8 -define quantum:format=unsigned -type grayscale out.tif
Using ImageMagick 6.3.7 02/19/08
Looks from the identify call it reports 8-bit. Not sure why GIMP thinks its 16, guess I should ask over on their forums! Hehe.
Thanks again.
