I'm trying to convert a jpeg file using the option "-trim" before adding this file into a latex file.
However, since version 6.7.9, this produce an error. Imagemagick was build using macport on iMac on Mountain Lion.
I don't have this problem when using version 6.7.6 already installed on Mountain Lion.

When digging, it seems that the only difference between the two files produced after the command convert (one using version 6.7.9 and the other one using version 6.7.6) is in the JFIF header

I think the problem with the file c679.jpg is either the density units that should be 00 or the X and Y density that should be 00 48

I can attach the original and converted pictures if needed.

Here is the log file from the latex file in which i'm including c679.jpg and c676.jpg files:

Everything is file for c676.jpg but there is a problem in the display of figure c679.jpg due to an error in the size coming, i thing, from the wrong data in JFIF header see previous post.

Note also that i don't have any problem if i convert the original file into a png file.
