Thread: TIFF conversion error




TIFF conversion error
user name
2007-04-12 09:03:11
With ImageMagick 6.3.3.0 Q8 (dll) on Windows XP Pro SP2
 With ImageMagick 6.3.2 compiled from source on Mac OS
10.4.9
The following command (pseudo):

convert MyImage.jpg MyImage.tif

returns the following errors:

Unknown pseudo-tag 65537. `TIFFSetField'.
Unknown pseudo-tag 65538. `TIFFSetField'.

The image appears to convert OK and is readable.

By adding a (any) -compress option e.g.,

 convert MyImage.jpg -compress None MyImage.tif

No error is returned.

No other options seem to have an effect.

ImageMagick 6.2.8 does not return this error under the same
conditions.

Tried with multiple images and multiple input formats.

Is -compress now a mandatory option for TIFF on Windows?

Am I missing something else?

>From my experience this message comes from Libtiff and
simply means 
that it has encountered a pseudo (or private) tag that it
doesn't 
know how to interpret, so it will discard it. It won't
effect the 
final file but the information within that tag will be lost.
I have 
no idea why the compress option would suppress the error,
perhaps 
they are re-directing the STDERR during the compression
sequence.

HTH,
