				Decode PNG into raw RGB data

				Long story short I need to decode to raw RGB in order to encode to Av1 then decode it back to a workable file (testing new tech) and I just need to know if this is the correct way to decode a png to raw RGB: 
Code: Select all
convert -size "3x3" -depth 8 encodeTest.png -colorspace RGB encodeTest.rgb

				Yes, but -size "3x3" does nothing.

				You need to know the size only when reading the raw RGB file. You will also need to know the depth when reading it.  See

I've added 
 to my code, did you miss that or am I doing it wrong?

				Code: Select all
convert encodeTest.png -colorspace RGB -depth 8 encodeTest.rgb

				Perhaps I should add that "-colorspace RGB" will convert (presumably from non-linear sRGB) to linear RGB. That's fine, if that's what you want, but it may not be.
