For some reason the SVG path stored in the JPG file is misinterpreted.

I'm using: to compare the output with the one that used to work and it is different. The clipping path it represent is totally distorted.

This looks like regression bug introduced accidentally in one of the updates to the system, however I'm not sure when it happened. Running CentOS doesn't help as we are behind the official newest version, and using REMI repository. Currently used version (with the bug): Installing RPM from IM website doesn't work. I tried building it from RPMS, and although installed if with no problems the system still sees the old one...

I wonder though if it is the IM itself or one of its delegates to blame (rsvg?)

Please help!

Can you post a link to your image? And an image of the clipmask you are expecting?

Hi!

Sure - here are the files:

JPEG:
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/toma ... caccia.jpg

Expected SVG data:
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/toma ... G/test.svg

Wrong SVG data:
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/toma ... /wrong.svg

Can you upgrade to the latest version? I am getting the correct output with that version.

Hey!

That is exactly what I'm trying to do but it wasn't obvious to me what is responsible for SVG processing in IM and if can be updated separately to core application (rsvg?). Additionally I'm relying on custom repository which was slightly out of date. It seems as if the newest version which was added last night on my request works as expected, although the result of processing the same file is yet again different (SVG data itself) the overall result looks good.

Thanks for help.

You may get different results depending upon what delegate library is being used (and perhaps version of the library). You can use Inkscape, RSVG or IM internal. I would suggest one of the first two and the most current versions of them.

Thanks. I updated to latest version and it's a nightmare. Every single conversion takes ages.
I will need to downgrade somehow if that's possible.
Can I switch the delegate to something of my choice?

Just reporting here for posterity:
Current version:
Version: ImageMagick 6.8.9-7 Q16 x86_64 2014-08-25 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2014 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features: DPC Modules OpenMP
Delegates: bzlib cairo djvu fftw fontconfig freetype gslib jng jpeg lcms ltdl openexr pangocairo png ps rsvg tiff webp wmf x xml zlib

Clipping path error disappeared but convert started to choke. Eliminating possible offenders left us with to blame.
Now - that worked flawlessly so far for years and suddenly stopped. We replaced it with which eliminated the problem.

In the meantime I tried playing with OpenMP and multi-core support, threads, memory limits and such because the OS was killing the convert process due to RAM usage. All that disappeared with the command change I mentioned above.

the +profile "*" issue is fixed in IM 6.8.9.8 Q16 beta. see viewtopic.php?f=3&t=26120&p=114484&hili ... le#p114484
