Converting PSD File (Bitmap mode) into various formats results in black image on linux

Post by rene1996 »

Hello,

At work I have to convert a psd file which image mode is bitmap into a png. This convert results in a black image.
I tried converting into other formats just like jpg, tiff, gif, bmp always with the same result of a totally black image. I tried different options like -flatten or -alpha on/off. Again a black result image.

This only happens on my linux system. On windows 10 with "ImageMagick-7.0.3-Q16" or "ImageMagick-6.9.6-Q16-HDRI" it works perfectly...
But I need to convert it on a linux system because our customer is using one.

My linux system:

Code: Select all

Linux vagrant-rene 4.4.0-130-generic #156-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 14 08:53:28 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
My imagemagick version on linux:

Code: Select all

Version: ImageMagick 6.8.9-9 Q16 x86_64 2018-07-10
You can download the test psd file from here:
https://mega.nz/#!V1UDRAaQ!XFoljIIQ4FWu ... OvGvlwhuno

Does anybody have an idea what I am may be doing wrong or is this a known bug?

Thank you for your help!

Best regards
Rene

This works fine for me on ImageMagick 6.9.10.6 Q16 and 7.0.8.6 Q16 HDRI Mac OSX Sierra. Also with version 6.8.9.9 Q16.

Code: Select all

convert bitmap.psd[0] bitmap.png
You could also try

Code: Select all

convert bitmap.psd[0] -type bilevel bitmap.png
or

Code: Select all

convert bitmap.psd[0] -depth 1 bitmap.png

P.S. What is your exact ImageMagick version 7.0.3.x and 6.9.6.x. Both are rather old. You might consider upgrading. What was your exact command line?

Hi!

I encountered a problem that 'identify' hangs while treating converted psd files,
which might be related to this topic.

I use cygwin and imagemagick:

Thanks for comments.

But, 'a2.psd' is generated by 'convert a.png -monochrome -depth 1 a2.psd'.
And 'a.png' is given in the script in base64 encoding.

Or we can make the 'a2.psd' from this script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
base64 -d <<END > a2.psd

Please post your actual a.png, since I cannot reproduce it from your script. You can post to some free hosting service that won't change the format such as dropbox.com and put the URL here.

I convert a.png to a.psd as follows and I get proper information from identify or identify -verbose, using IM 6.9.10.11 Q16 and IM 7.0.8.11 Q16 Mac OSX.

Code: Select all

convert a.png a.psd
identify a.psd
a.psd[0] PSD 37x27 37x27+0+0 8-bit Grayscale Gray 256c 726B 0.000u 0:00.000
a.psd[1] PSD 37x27 37x27+0+0 8-bit Gray 256c 726B 0.000u 0:00.000

Code: Select all

magick a.png a.psd
magick identify a.psd
a.psd[0] PSD 37x27 37x27+0+0 8-bit Grayscale Gray 256c 726B 0.000u 0:00.000
a.psd[1] PSD 37x27 37x27+0+0 8-bit Gray 256c 726B 0.000u 0:00.000

Yes, it works 'convert a.png a1.psd; identify a1.psd'.

But, it's a differnt case from what I mean. Please test as follows:

convert a.png -monochrome -depth 1 a2.psd
identify -verbose a2.psd

Note that do it without omitting '-verbose'.

The issue is that doing

Code: Select all

convert a.png -monochrome -depth 1 a2.psd
or even

Code: Select all

convert a.png a.psd

Image: a.psd
Format: PSD (Adobe Photoshop bitmap)
Class: DirectClass
Geometry: 37x27+0+0
Units: PixelsPerInch
Colorspace: Gray
Type: Grayscale
Base type: Undefined
Endianess: MSB
Depth: 8-bit
Channel depth:
gray: 8-bit
...
Colors: 2
Histogram:
615: ( 0, 0, 0) #000000 gray(0)
384: ( 1, 1, 1) #010101 gray(1)

for some reason produces two values, 0 and 1, rather than 0 and 255. This looks like a bug.

The way to get around it is to do

Code: Select all

convert a.png -monochrome -type truecolor a2.psd
or

Code: Select all

convert a.png -type truecolor a.psd

Format: PSD (Adobe Photoshop bitmap)
Class: PseudoClass
Geometry: 37x27+0+0
Resolution: 1.52588e-05x1.52588e-05
Print size: 2.42483e+06x1.76947e+06
Units: PixelsPerInch
Colorspace: Gray
Type: Bilevel
Base type: Undefined
Endianess: MSB
Depth: 8-bit
Channel depth:
gray: 1-bit
...
Colors: 2
Histogram:
615: ( 0, 0, 0) #000000 gray(0)
384: (255,255,255) #FFFFFF gray(255)

Thank you for testing and reproducing the situations.

I noticed that this also hangs at 'identiy':

Code: Select all

convert a.png -depth 1 a_depth1.psd
identify -verbose a_depth1.psd
And ImageMagick version is: ImageMagick 6.9.9-11 Q16 x86_64 2017-09-30
