Imagemagick fails to load large images
Posted: 2019-05-11T00:04:33-07:00
I've noticed convert fails to load some large images.
Here's an example, both images were exported as PNG with GIMP, the only difference is the small one has been scaled down before exporting it:
I can load the image no problem with other software so it isn't an issue with memory running out.
The error message is also a bit weird because it's caused by the input image but the message references the output image.
