identify: no decode delegate for this image format 'beta' @ constitute.c/ReadImage/503

I guess that means it doesn't know the file type?

Is there somewhere that explains the results it gives?

what is your exact command?

did you provide an image with a suffix?

identify logo.png

or

identify -verbose logo.png

The suffix is .data, because it's a raw data block. I removed the data suffix from the file name.

The command I used was 'identify beta'

I just tried using the -verbose command and got the same thing, with and without the suffix.

Here is the file I'm using - http://www.shadowbaneemulator.com/RevEn ... 06030.data

Identify can identify the characteristics of more than 100 different image formats. Your file does not appear to be in a format that ImageMagick can grok. It doesn't even appear to be an image.

Well, we're trying to reverse engineer these files. You can check the thread here if you want, to see whether I'm off base for trying to use ImageMagick or not. I know the file is able to be loaded in photoshop as a .RAW after removing the first 26 bytes.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

there are many 'raw' formats.

type

convert -list format

look and see how many raw formats there are!

Do you know which one it corresponds to? If so, remove the header and supply the proper suffix.

Best I can suggest. I am not an expert on raw formats.

I'll try that.

Here's a condensed version of the thread btw.

I would search for and look at the various 'raw' reading tools such as dcraw. there are probably other. do a google search and you will likely find others. IM relies upon such tools, but you may have better luck using those tools directly.
