Issue while running any commands on TIFF file

Post by aam »

I have downloaded the version ImageMagick-6.7.2-Q16 on windows. All commands like convert, identify etc work fine with .jpg file. But when i try the same commands with TIFF, it gives me an error popup which says - "The instruction...referenced memory at .... The memory could not be read". Can someone suggest a solution.

We're using ImageMagick 6.7.2-7. Type these commands:
  • convert logo: logo.tif
    identify -verbose logo.tif
Does this command set work? If so, you may need to post a URL to one of your TIFF images. We'll need to download it and reproduce the exception before we can comment further.

Thanks for the quick response magick. The below command set works..also i can work with jpegs, but TIFF is the issue. Also one of my friends is able to work on this TIFF. He has an older version though 6.6.6.. I was wondering if there is anything specific i need to do after installation. The path is correct and points to the installation root. Do i need anything like ghostscript etc to make it work? Unfortunately there is no way i can put the TIFF on a url. I can email it though if its a possibility.

What command are you using? We identified and converted your image without complaint with ImageMagick 6.7.2-7 (Linux and Windows).

Hi Magick,

I have tried identify -verbose [file] and did not work. I tried convert [file] test.tiff..it did not work either..Note that both the commands work if the [file] is jpg. It does not work if the file is TIFF. I have installed the software on windows xp service pack 3. The version i installed is the binary version for window, ImageMagick-6.7.2-8-Q16-windows-dll.exe.....I tried it on a second machine and the same problem....Is it the correct version? Also do i need to add anything in the system environments other than the Path it already adds while investigation.

Thanks for the help.
