How to count colors of *.tif and *.gif files??

[pkashrai]

I have problem to count the colors of *.tif and *.gif image format. To count the colors of *.jpg I used the command:

Code: Select all

identify -format %k img.jpg

This works fine for .jpg file format. But I am having problem with *.tif and *.gif file format. I get the number but I think it's not correct coz it is too huge number (larger than the sum of colors of individual .jpg file format). The problem is *.tif or *.gif files contains more than one *.jpg images. Is there any bash command to count the colors of .tif or .gif directly?? Or I need to split them to .jpgs and count seperately for each jpgs!! Any help will be appreciated!! ThanX in advance !!!!

try adding a newline or space to the format string, otherwise IM appends all the numbers together, making it look like one huge number...

Code: Select all

identify -format '%k\n' animation.gif

You can also add %f for filename and %s for scene number and %n for total number of scenes, to allow you to identify which image the count is for.
