How to use ImageMagick to splitt multi-channelr EXR?

Hey there,
I want to use ImageMagick to split multi-channel EXR from my Houdini render.
I just compiled IM 6.9.0 with open-exr and HDRI support.
Here is some info:

Code: Select all

identify -version

Code: Select all

Version: ImageMagick 6.9.0-0 Q16 x86_64 2014-12-21 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2014 ImageMagick Studio LLC
Features: DPC HDRI Modules OpenMP
Delegates (built-in): bzlib ltdl lzma openexr tiff x xml zlib
However, when I try identify -verbose ./Destop/test222.exr and all I got is RGBA info

Code: Select all

This image actually contains may other channels, like all_coat, all_diffuse, all_reflect,......,etc.
My question is, how do you list and subtract all those channels existed in a EXR file?

Tks.

I do not know if IM supports multi-channel EXR files. But the best thing would be to upload your file to dropbox.com and put the URL here so the developers can inspect it.

Hey fmw42,
Thanks for reply.

I just upload a file, test32bit.exr, to Dropbox for anyone who want to inspect it.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/uilntxp08h2qt ... t.exr?dl=0

Tks.

I do not know much about EXR file format, though I have used them infrequently. The last I knew, IM only supported the "half format". That may have changed. But I do not know if IM supports multilayer EXR? I think one of the IM developers may have to look into this for you.

Hi,
is there any update on this?
Is it possible to extract channels from multichannel exr currently?

thanks,
Kustaa

I tried to download your EXR file, but it seems to have been moved or deleted (404 Error). If you still want me to examine it, re-post it.

hi,
heres a multilayer exr. It contains few rgb layers.
let me know if this helps!

Unfortunately, as best I can tell, Imagemagick only sees one layer and RGBA channels only according to identify -verbose multilayer.exr. Also Photoshop won't open it. My GraphicConvert opens it, but only sees the same as IM as does Mac PREVIEW.

I see no evidence for any all_coat, all_diffuse, all_reflect information or channels.

this is actually different image, it has for example direct_diffuse and direct_specular layers in it.

I saw no other layers in the file, either.

Exiftool reports:

Code: Select all

Channels                        : A float 1 1, B float 1 1, G float 1 1, R float 1 1, direct_diffuse.B float 1 1, direct_diffuse.G float 1 1, direct_diffuse.R float 1 1, direct_specular.B float 1 1, direct_specular.G float 1 1, direct_specular.R float 1 1, maskChannel float 1 1, sss.B float 1 1, sss.G float 1 1, sss.R float 1 1
I don't know if this file should be treated as having multiple images (including a mask image attached to one of the ordinary images), or a single image with 14 channels, or something else.

If they are truly channels, then IM 7 beta can deal with more than 4 channels. See New Options regarding -channel-fx at http://imagemagick.org/script/porting.php#cli and Pixel Channels at http://imagemagick.org/script/porting.php#channels

Unfortunately, IM 7 does not seem to find these channels, either, only the RGBA channels. Not sure if identify -verbose is updated to report non-RGBA (non-CMYK) channels.

I am pretty sure that IM 7 has no readers, yet, for any multi-channel image format with channels > 5 (CMYKA)

Is this extra information supposed to be channels or layers?

In my experiments with v7 so far, at the command line I haven't successfully created any multi-channel files.

Of course, v7 isn't yet released.

Do you have any documentation on multi-channel EXR images -- especially, the file format?

Looks like http://www.openexr.com/openexrfilelayout.pdf contains information about Deep Data (in scanline or tile format) for multi-channel data in EXR version 2.0.
