Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi,

We have some software that uses ImageMagick to resize images "on-the-fly" for customers. Customers purchase stock photography, and they pay for a certain size image (higher resolution versions of an image are more expensive).

We discovered that the IPTC metadata on the source TIF images are not in the TIF images that are delivered to customers. Is there a way to resize an image with ImageMagick and preserve the IPTC metadata? It seems like there should be, but so far I haven't been able to determine the method.

Thanks!

IM should not typically touch or modify profiles at all, unless you ask it to strip the profile.

So what command ar you using?

NOTE: -thumbnail is a resize with an implied -strip operation.
