MagickSetImageCompression not working

[grant]

Hi,

Using C API I want to convert a .bmp file to a .bmp with the following properties:

color depth 8bits
colorspace grayScale
resolution 500x500 ppi
size 344x360
NoCompression

According to bitmap file format referenced in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMP_file_format:
The C API converted image shows at offset:
0x1C (biBitCount) = 8
0x1E (biCompression) = 1 (should be 0)

The following command line converts the image correctly.
magick convert tmp.bmp -resample 196x196 -resize 344x360 -grayscale Rec601Luma -depth 8 -alpha off -compress NONE -colors 256 tmp8_cmd.bmp
Our machine can read the image converted by command line and can not read the one converted by C API.
We have to convert using C API.

So the question is:
How to get the BiCompression to be 0? Or
How to convert the image using C API to get the same image as it was converted using above mentioned command line?

Following is the not working C API:

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream> 
#include <tchar.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <wand\magick_wand.h>


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
  MagickWand *l_wand = NULL;
  MagickWandGenesis();	
  l_wand = NewMagickWand();

  MagickReadImage(            l_wand, "D:\\JPG\\tmp.bmp");          
  MagickResizeImage(          l_wand, 344, 360, CatromFilter, 1.0);
  MagickSetImageUnits(        l_wand, PixelsPerInchResolution);  
  MagickSetImageResolution(   l_wand, 400, 400);  
  MagickSetImageDepth(        l_wand, 8);  
  MagickSetImageAlphaChannel( l_wand, DeactivateAlphaChannel);
  MagickSetImageCompression(  l_wand, NoCompression);
  MagickSetImageType(         l_wand, GrayscaleType);
  MagickQuantizeImage(        l_wand, 256, Rec601LumaColorspace, 0, 0, 0);
  MagickWriteImage(           l_wand, "D:\\JPG\\tmp8.bmp");
    
  if(l_wand) l_wand = DestroyMagickWand(l_wand);	
  MagickWandTerminus();
  return 0;
}

If you are using v7, I'm surprised that program compiles. "wand" is a v6 directory. The v7 directory is "MagickWand". In my (admittedly old) v7.0.1-0 IM, there is no "magick_wand.h". And there are other problems.

Building your program as v6, it builds and runs, and exiftool reports the output is not compressed.

[grant]

Thanks for your reply.
You'r right. Now i have version 7 clean reinstalled (destroying all version 6 directories),
and use 'MagickWand\MagickWand.h'. The 'biCompression' is set now correctly to 0.
But the result image is 24 bit and not 8 bit as i explicitly used MagickSetImageDepth(wand, .

[snibgo]

"Depth" means bits per channel per pixel.

[grant]

Okay,
I will make a try to pass the image to our machine.
If it can process it then everything is ok.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am back again.
Our machine does not accept the 24bits image.
I found out some interresting docs in https://www.imagemagick.org/script/porting.php#imv7
It is stated there the following:

Code: Select all

Grayscale
Previously, grayscale images were Rec601Luminance and consumed 4 channels: red, green, blue, and alpha. 
With version 7, grayscale consumes only 1 channel requiring far less resources as a result.

And that is my target only 1 channel greyscale image.
My source code uses Imagetype 'GrayscaleType', bit depth 8 and colors 256.
This should create an 8 bit single channel image.
But it did not.
I have attached the exiftool output data.

The question here is:
How to convert to 8 bit, only 1 channel, grey scale, 256 colors?

Can you help me this way.

  l_wand = NewMagickWand();
           
  MagickReadImage(            l_wand, "D:\\jpg\\tmp.bmp");  
  MagickSetImageDepth(        l_wand, 8);
  MagickSetImageType(         l_wand, GrayscaleType);
  MagickSetImageColorspace(   l_wand, GRAYColorspace);

The porting guide refers to the number of channels in memory, not in files.

Resizing will almost certainly introduce new colours, so your quantize is in the wrong place.

Similarly, you set the image type before doing any processing. It should be at the end, just before writing.

[grant]

Do you mean that ImageMagick can not create 8 bit single channel 256 colors?
Then please look at the following command line: it creates correctly 8 bit single channel

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.2-Q8\magick" tmp.bmp -resample 500x500 -resize 344x360 -grayscale Rec601Luma -depth 8 
-alpha off -compress NONE -colors 256 tmp8_cmd.bmp

Do you know if I could achieve the command line result using C API?

Re-read my post. I told you how to do it.

[grant]

I rearranged the instruction as you worte but i get 24 bits instead of 8.
It does not work using C API but strangly works for command line.

Anyway thanks for your help.

Here is a corrected program (for IM v6, not 7):

Code: Select all

#include <windows.h>

// #pragma hdrstop
// #pragma argsused

#include "wand\MagickWand.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{    
  MagickWand *l_wand = NULL;  
  MagickWandGenesis();
  l_wand = NewMagickWand();
           
  MagickReadImage(            l_wand, "rose:");  
  MagickSetImageDepth(        l_wand, 8);
  //MagickSetImageType(         l_wand, GrayscaleType);
  MagickSetImageColorspace(   l_wand, GRAYColorspace);    
  MagickSetImageCompression(  l_wand, NoCompression);  
  MagickSetImageAlphaChannel( l_wand, DeactivateAlphaChannel);  
  MagickQuantizeImage(        l_wand, 256, GRAYColorspace, 0, MagickFalse, MagickFalse);  
  MagickResizeImage(          l_wand, 344, 360, CatromFilter, 1);
  MagickQuantizeImage(        l_wand, 256, GRAYColorspace, 0, MagickFalse, MagickFalse);  
  MagickSetImageUnits(        l_wand, PixelsPerInchResolution);
  MagickSetImageResolution(   l_wand, 400, 400);
  MagickSetImageType(         l_wand, GrayscaleType);
  MagickWriteImage(           l_wand, "tmp8.bmp");
    
  if(l_wand) l_wand = DestroyMagickWand(l_wand);	
	MagickWandTerminus();
  
	return 0;
}

It gives an 8-bit/channel, single channel result:

sorry but compression is set to : '8-Bit RLE' it must be set to 'None'

[dlemstra]

You should use `MagickSetCompression` instead.

[grant]

Perfect, MagickSetCompression is the right one, now everything is ok.
I could convert the image to 8 bits single channel no compression.

Thank you for your help.

[grant]

The corrected program does not create 8 bits single channel any more.
Source code not changed.
Only i deinstalled all ImageMagick versions to reinstall V6 clean.

I do not understand why the corrected program suddenly create 24 bits images (8/hannel 3 channel).
Any idea what is gone wrong?
