Creating Thumbnails for 16 bit imagery comes black

I'm trying to generate thumbnails for 16bit TIFF image with the following command.

[convert -endian msb -depth 16 -colorspace sRGB D:\po_356191_bgrn_0000000.tif -thumbnail 250x250 -set colorspace RGB d:\1.jpg]

The command generates completely black thumbnails.
The identify verbose command gives the following results.

Code: Select all

identify -verbose d:\po_356191_bgrn_0000000.tif
