I found some images on our website, where the scaled version of a non-transparent image was completely transparent without any other content. Is this a possible bug or did I completely misunderstand something about it?

I placed one such image on http://th-mack.de/download/bugs/im02.tif for testing.

The command used is:

convert im02.tif -scale 600x400 im02.gif

We have this problem both on Ubuntu 17.10 with:

Code: Select all

Your sample image is too large (52MB) for me to download, sorry.

GIF has binary transparency: each pixel is either opaque or transparent. If your resized TIFF image has graduated transparency, I suggest you either flatten it against a background colour, or threshold the alpha channel at 50%.

Ok, found the reason. The geometry of the original file had an offset:

Code: Select all

  Page geometry: 5100x7000+5100+0
  Origin geometry: +5100+0

The solution was to use:

Code: Select all

convert im02.tif -scale 600x400 +repage im02.gif

Thanks,
