convert fails > unknown field with tag 65010 etc

Post by blaas »

Hi,
I am new here and would greatly appreciate help!

I am trying to convert electron microscopy images (convert -flip -rotate 90 x.tif y.tif) but it does not convert and just issues the message:
convert: 10a.tif: unknown field with tag 65010 (0xfdf2) encountered. `TIFFReadDirectory'.
convert: 10a.tif: unknown field with tag 65012 (0xfdf4) encountered. `TIFFReadDirectory'.

followed by a number of other tags. Scanning the topics I found that:

1) Using TagViewer these fields contain info like "nm" or just numbers or are empty
2) that one should ignore such messages in ImageMagick

however, as it does not convert the image I cannot ignore this!
The images are about 33 MB and I am using ImageMagick-6.5.7-Q16 under WinXP SP3.
Photoshop can do the job but I prefer the command line of ImageMagick
Thanks for hints,
Dieter
