Hi,

I would like to convert an HDR (i.e in NetPFM format) image to non-HDR image (i.e. NetPGM).
The conversion needs to be "viewer-friendly", that is the resulting image needs be contrast, without cutting off information etc.

How could I achieve this with ImageMagick 7.0.8 Q16, with HDRI?

Thanks!

Does "-auto-level" do what you want? If not, please link to a sample input, and say what output you want.

I've tried
`magick src.pfm -auto-level src.pgm`

Now both feh and sxiv say src.pgm is broken, is there something else?

Please link to a sample input.

magick rose: rose.pfm
magick rose.pfm -auto-level rose.pgm

It seems that IM is writing rose.pgm as 32 bits/channel. (Just one channel, of course.) Gimp can't read the result.

If we insert "-depth 16" before writing, Gimp can read it fine.

Does that help?

Almost, had to use -depth 8, for feh/sxiv.
Do I still need -auto-level?

I don't really understand your question. Perhaps "-auto-level" does what you want.
