Hi all,
Curious as to how the stream and convert functionality may be used to potentially convert a bunch of BMP files sitting in a blob storage on GCP into TIFF files in a new storage location as part of a VM (also in GCP). There is a PostgreSQL database that contains the metadata for the BMP images that will later be embedded into the converted TIFF files, but wondering if/how the stream and convert functionality in IM may allow this to happen. It seems like a great way to not have to copy the BMP to the new storage location, perform the conversion and then dump the BMP (reducing bandwith cost ideally). Is this a feasible/best approach?

Thanks

ImageMagick does not interface with database software. It can do the conversion, but you have to do the file system operations to your database.
