On the file https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... 508102.jpg which has a weird YCbCr subsampling value of "2 3", the following:

convert -define 'jpeg:size=118x70' End-of-the-world-Stephen-Hawking-god-particle-Higgs-boson-508102.jpg out.jpg

fails with the error:

convert: Fractional sampling not implemented yet `End-of-the-world-Stephen-Hawking-god-particle-Higgs-boson-508102.jpg' @ error/jpeg.c/JPEGErrorHandler/321.

This appears to be due to the combination of the -define 'jpeg:size=118x70' telling libjpeg to scale the image by 1/2, while at the same time the YCbCr subsampling telling it to upscale the vertical dimension by 3, resulting in a combined vertical scaling by 3/2, which is fractional, triggering the error.

I'm not sure who is at fault here, whether the image is just totally broken for having that subsampling, or if image magick shouldn't be specifying a scale factor to libjpeg if it would cause fractional subsampling, or if libjpeg's jpeg_calc_output_dimensions() should be checking for this situation when verifying jpeg_info->scale_denom is valid. (Thus I apologize if this isn't really an image magick bug)

Thanks.

We can reproduce the problem you posted and have a patch in ImageMagick 6.8.9-10 Beta, available by sometime tomorrow. Thanks.

I have tested it. Is this the correct behaviour?
$ /usr/local/bin/convert -define 'jpeg:size=118x70' in.jpg out.jpg
