Frustration with tiff files

[blairt10]

I have been at this since almost 7am this morning! Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to get this source code to execute. I have installed the tiff delegates so it sould be running. I dont understand.



convert newtestnc1.tif:quantum:polarity=min-is-white -sharpen 0.3x1.0 +antialias -density 204X196 -despeckle -enhance -monochrome -raise 40 newtestim.tif


and these are the errors I am getting:

convert: no decode delegate for this image format `newtestnc1.tif' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/550.
convert: no images defined `newtestim.tif' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3066.



PLEASE HELP!!

First thing I would do is start with something very simple to cut down on the possible problems:

Code: Select all

convert newtestnc1.tif -resize 500x500 newtestim.tif 

Then add one option at a time.

I pressume this "newtestnc1.tif:quantum:polarity=min-is-white" is an error when posting the code here?

convert newtestnc1.tif:quantum:polarity=min-is-white -sharpen 0.3x1.0 +antialias -density 204X196 -despeckle -enhance -monochrome -raise 40 newtestim.tif

Should be

convert newtestnc1.tif -define quantum:polarity=min-is-white -sharpen 0.3x1.0 +antialias -density 204X196 -despeckle -enhance -monochrome -raise 40 newtestim.tif
