Hi,

I've a set of TIFF files containing JPEG encoded images in the YCbCr color space that don't get properly read/resized by ImageMagick. I get some color cast in the output due to wrong color space.
Other tools like The Gimp are fine with those images.

Using either ImageMagick 6.7.7-10 or 6.8.0-2, I can get ImageMagick process those images properly only if I force the YCbCr colorspace:
$ convert source.tif -set colorspace YCbCr -resize 800x600 out.jpg

With ImageMagick 6.6.9-7, I couldn't get correct colors at all (any idea of how I can process them with this version?).

Running ImageMagick 6.8.0-2's identify gives the following:

From what I see, the colorspace reported by EXIF/XMP metadata is not used, and ImageMagick seems to think that the image is a sRGB one.

Thanks,

Post a URL to one or two of your images. We need to download them and reproduce the problem before we can comment.

Hi,
