Hi,

Imagemagick 6.6.9-7 is creating problem in colorize image.
When we will see after colorize in Adobe illustrator (a png image) it shows a rectangle in single color (image with full colored, background also).

Thanks
Prateek

It would be best to post a link to your before and after images and the exact command line used. Was the colorizing done in Adobe or IM? Perhaps it is an Adobe problem or a PNG issue.

see http://www.imagemagick.org/download/delegates/

at minimum, use png, jpg, tiff, freetype, fontconfig, ghostscript, lcms2, xml, x11

No way to tell what is stable or not. See changelog for updates.

I can say that I have some problems scripting with mpc format images with IM 6.8.0.4. But if you do not script with mpc format, then that version should not be a problem.

From experience, IM versions between 6.7.5.5 and 6.7.8.2 should be avoided as that was the time that IM was undergoing colorspace changes and grayscale image changes. They may work fine, need some changes to command lines per viewtopic.php?f=4&t=21269
