DefineValue("tiff", "alpha", "associated"); not working

Hi,

Im trying to save a TIFF from Magick++ with associated alpha extrasamples. I can do it perfectly through convert command-line and -define tiff:alpha=associated but from Magick++ interface is not working. I have tried also to use "TIFF" as format without any luck.

I have noticed that the image saved from convert command has a mixed Deph: 8/16 Bits using the define clausure.

Im using ImageMagick 6.6.9-3 2011-04-06 Q16.

Any clue?

Thanks in advance
L

Try defineValue() with parameters "tiff:alpha" and "associated" before you write the image.

Thanks for your quick answer.

There is no luck. I have tried with:

- finalImage.defineValue("tiff:alpha", "associated");
- finalImage.defineValue("", "tiff:alpha", "associated");
- finalImage.defineValue("tiff", "tiff:alpha", "associated");


This is the code Im executing when writting the image after some composite calls with CopyCompositeOp:

Code: Select all

finalImage.compressType(LZWCompression);
finalImage.defineValue("tiff:alpha", "associated");
finalImage.write(tempFileName);

This works for us:
  • Image image;
    image.defineValue("tiff", "alpha", "associated");
    image.read( "logo.png" );
    image.write( "logo.tif" );
Notice the define is before the read.

You are right,

It works perfecly doing only the operation you describe... I will investigate deeper..

My process is getting several pieces of image, compositing them into one bigger image with composite(cuadImage, x, y, CopyCompositeOp); and then saving the complete image. That big image is which is not saving correcly with tiff:alpha associated.

I will post more investigations..

Thanks again

I give up... I think something happens inside composite that doesnt allow to save that alpha associated info.


This is the last small code I have tested. I have tried to establish everywhere tiff:alpha associated value and other crazy things.
The goal is to composite several images into 1 big image and save it with associated alpha. In this example Im only getting 1 image to composite:

Code: Select all

         // Original Image
         Image image;
         image.defineValue("tiff", "alpha", "associated");
         image.read("/render/bgr/tst0010/scn0001/default_pass/img/bgr_tst0010_scn0001.0101.tif");

         // New Image container to composite the other image
         Image image2;
         image2.defineValue("tiff", "alpha", "associated");
         image2.size("500x500");

         image2.defineValue("tiff", "alpha", "associated");
         image2.backgroundColor("transparent");

         image2.defineValue("tiff", "alpha", "associated");
         image2.composite(image, 0, 0, CopyCompositeOp);

         image2.defineValue("tiff", "alpha", "associated");
         image2.composite(image, 0, 0, CopyOpacityCompositeOp);

         image2.defineValue("tiff", "alpha", "associated");
         image2.write("/render/bgr/tst0010/scn0001/default_pass/img/bgr_tst0010_scn0001.associated.tif");
