Hi! I'm pretty sure that this is a Bug. I have been trying to get the right output for a while and seems impossible. If I'm wrong, my apologies.

I'm using the latest version ImageMagick 7.0.8-49 Q16 x64 2019-06-08 over windows 10

I'm trying to convert a png image to a tiled JP2 image. The online documentation says that i have to write the tile size in brackets after the output file:

https://imagemagick.org/script/jp2.php

Save a tiled JPEG-2000 image:
convert wizard.png 'wizard.png[512x512]'

btw, I think that the documentation has a small typo as the extension of the out file should be jp2.

I've been trying to do this without any result. Executing this command:
creates a file of name 'wizard.jp2[512x512]' storing the image as jp2 with only just 1 tile (default value)

I tried many combinations, with and without quotation marks, tried to find JPEG-2000 decoding options, but I got no results.

Thanks!

How do you know it was not tiled?

From the documentation:

Save a tiled JPEG-2000 image:

convert wizard.png 'wizard.png[512x512]'

That makes no sense to me. The bracket notation is typically for input cropping. But this may be something special for jp2.

Nevertheless, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_2000, tiling is supported by the format. The question is how ImageMagick accesses it.


Also I agree the output should be jp2 not png.

But there seems to be no -define for tiling, only for multi-resolution on that documentation page at https://imagemagick.org/script/jp2.php

Furthermore, in ImageMagick 7, use magick, not magick convert or you will get IM 6 behavior.

'How do you know it was not tiled?'

a tiled jp2 has a bigger size and loads quite faster on small devices such as an iphone. Also, it is possible to extract a specific tile by using . With all the tests I made the file sizes were all the same. Also, trying to extract a tile other than the first resulted in an error.

Really interesing. I used this and it seems to partially works: results in



The files are actually stored with several tiles (file size changes and I can actually extract specific tiles), but the filenames are wrong, they got attached the tile options to the filename
