Package: imagemagick
Version: 6:6.0.6.2-2.2
Severity: wishlist


Despite of what jpeg2ps does, convert does not keep the jpeg encoding
format for the generated file, it uses a bitmap instead.

This leads to huge files.

Below is a simple example that underlines the problem:

    $ ls -l x.jpg
    -rw-r--r--  1 bayartb bayartb 41310 2005-03-24 18:04 x.jpg
    
    $ convert x.jpg x.ps
    $ ls -l x.ps
    -rw-r--r--  1 bayartb bayartb 1122458 2005-03-24 18:04 x.ps
    
    $ jpeg2ps x.jpg > x.ps
    Note on file 'x.jpg': 633x290 pixel, 3 color components
    $ ls -l x.ps
    -rw-r--r--  1 bayartb bayartb 53028 2005-03-24 18:04 x.ps
    
As jpeg2ps is not in sid anymore, Debian lacks this feature, if
imagemagick could provide it, that would be great.

Thanks to Benjamin Bayart who first reported me that bug.

Use ps2: modifier by default convert use ps format and therefore bitmap format.
