Hi,

I am having trouble reading in an image using c++ on unix.
I do:

try{image[0].read("menu.tif");
} catch (exception &error_ ) {
cout<<"Caught exception: " <<error.what() << endl;
}

my program compiles(makes) fine, but when I run it I get the following:

Caught exception: ImageMagick: unable to open image `menu.tif': No such file or directory
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Magick::ErrorResourceLimit'
what(): ImageMagick: no pixels defined in cache `menu.tif'
Abort


the menu.tif is in the same directory as my .cpp file

any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh

Dear Josh,
well, the tif file and your executable should be at the same location. Otherwise you have to use an absolute path or your take the arg[]'s from the cmd line.
