Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

We upgraded to ImageMagick 6.7.6-6, q8. The geometry is not being read correctly from some eps files for us, and the result is when we convert the eps to jpg, the converted file is much smaller than the original. I installed 6.7.8-2 and got the same results. The conversion works properly and reports the correct geometry in version 6.6.9-10.

A sample eps can be downloaded from this link -- download the "Original" version.

In the sample, the newer versions of ImageMagick report the geometry as 133x198 - way too small, the older version reports the geometry as 739x1100, which is correct.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. We are currently down-grading our installations until we can get this resolved.

SSB049P9.eps includes these statements:

• %%BoundingBox: 0 0 133 198
  %%HiResBoundingBox: 0 0 133.2 198.36

You can override with an explicit size:

• convert -page 740x1102 -verbose SSB049P9.eps -colorspace sRGB image.jpg

So the older version was reporting an incorrect size, and that has been corrected in the newer versions? Just trying to understand why it used to work the way I expected. I will certainly tryout the page command. Thanks!

I tried the -page option, and I did get an image of the correct dimensions, 720x1102, but what I got was a small watch in the bottom left corner and a lot of white space, instead of the large watch that I was expecting, and like what I used to get with the prior version, and what I see when I open the original in GIMP using the correct 400x400 resolution. There is a higher resolution version of the watch in there, I just need to know how to get it out properly. Thank you for your time.

For what it's worth, I figured out how to get the sized I needed from that image. If I specify the density of the eps like this:

convert -density 400 test.eps test.jpg

I get the correct size in test.jpg.
