Hi,

I have re-installed image magick from scratch. I work with Ubuntu 12.04.

When I try to convert a jpeg image in tiff, I get this (the image created is a jpg instead!) :

Code: Select all

$ identify toto.jpg
toto.jpg JPEG 12240x11545 12240x11545+0+0 8-bit Gray 256c 1.615MB 0.000u 0:00.000
$ convert toto.jpg toto2.tif
$ identify toto2.tif
toto2.tif JPEG 12240x11545 12240x11545+0+0 8-bit Gray 256c 1.615MB 0.000u 0:00.000
When I try to read a tiff image, I get this (sorry, French version):

Code: Select all

$ identify toto.tif
identify: pas de délégué pour décoder ce format d'image `toto.tif' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/550.
What's wrong?

Thanks i advance, Olivier

You do not say what version of IM you are using? It could have a bug. You may want to upgrade your version of IM.

This works just fine for me with IM 6.8.5.5 Q16 Mac OSX Snow Leopard
