Package: imagemagick Version: 6:6.2.4.5-0.2 Severity: important Hi,
pcd2html is using a set of options to convert Kodak PhotoCD images to JPG. An example is convert a.pcd[4] -crop 1000x230+90+409 -modulate 80 -geometry 630x480 abcd.jpg that cutted a certain section from the image, adjusted the colors and finally scaled it to the wished size. This sequence of options is completely broken with latest imagemagick in testing. I have compiled a set of examples that prove the problems at http://people.debian.org/~tille/tmp/convert/ The script test-options shows how all these files are created from the source a.pcd. Please have a loo at this script first. 1. abcd.jpg: This is produced by the original call. The width-height ratio of the sutted section is not preserved and the color is completely broken. 2. abcd.png: I tried different output format - no change. 3. b.jpg Cropping itself seems to work fine. 4. b.png Works also for PNG output. 5. c.jpg Also modulate seems to work fine as a single option without additional transformation options. 6. c.png Works also for PNG. 7. d.jpg This image looks identical to the image I wanted to obtain by the single command line above. 8. d.png I have no idea why the PNG format does not respect the aspect ratio in this transformation. This makes convert nearly unusable. 9. m.jpg The modulation of the PCD image itself seems to be broken. This is a real bunch of bugs but I think it is reasonable to report these in one single bug report. Because these are upstream bugs I will volunteer to report these problems also to upstream and post the results to the bug report page. Finally I have to admit that the documentation of imagemagick is broken. The manpage of convert is just nothing. Formerly it explained in detail every single option. This is cutted now to nearly nothing. Is this the end of ImageMagick development? If yes we should switch back to a working and well documented version. Kind regards and thanks for maintaining ImageMagick Andreas. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (499, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.9 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) (ignored: LC_ALL set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Versions of packages imagemagick depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.2-11 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdps1 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 Display PostScript (DPS) client li ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.4 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libice6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjasper-1.701-1 1.701.0-2 The JasPer JPEG-2000 runtime libra ii libjpeg62 6b-10 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii liblcms1 1.13-1 Color management library ii libmagick9 6:6.2.4.5-0.2 Image manipulation library ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System Session Management ii libtiff4 3.7.4-1 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxml2 2.6.22-2 GNOME XML library ii libxt6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-8 compression library - runtime imagemagick recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
