Package: graphicsmagick Version: 1.3.20-3 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I'm using gm for heavy work with tiff-files. Unfortunately I have to use ImageMagick to convert to 4 bit grayscale tifs. Use the attached testfile for reference: % gm convert -compress LZW testpicture.tif -colors 16 -colorspace GRAY -depth 4 testpicture_4bit_gm.tif % convert -compress LZW testpicture.tif -colors 16 -colorspace GRAY -depth 4 testpicture_4bit_im.tif % identify testpicture*.tif testpicture_4bit_gm.tif TIFF 256x256 256x256+0+0 8-bit sRGB 18.7KB 0.000u 0:00.000 testpicture_4bit_im.tif[1] TIFF 256x256 256x256+0+0 4-bit Grayscale Gray 8.44KB 0.000u 0:00.000 testpicture.tif[2] TIFF 256x256 256x256+0+0 8-bit Grayscale Gray 8.08KB 0.000u 0:00.000 -> The gm created image is 8 bit sRGB while ImageMagich creates the 4 bit grayscale as requested... I tried to report the bug upstream but find the sourcefourge.net webinterface unusable.
