I'm looking to use ImageMagick for generating JPEG previews of assets
going into our digital asset management system. I've used it in the past
for other applications, but I'm up against a file format problem - one
particular set of TIFF variants are giving me garbled results in
ImageMagick. Using my battery of sample files, I've identified this
combination of TIFF features as being problematic:

16 bit RGB TIFF, with *more* than 4 channels total (for instance, RGB + 2
alpha channels)
16 bit CMYK TIFF, with *more* than 5 channels total (for instance, CMYK +
2 alpha channels)

Everything works fine with 8bit TIFFs with n channels, or with 16bit as
long as we have only 0 or 1 additional channels.

For the purposes of this process I don't care at all about the alpha
channels - I just need to pull a decent thumbnail/preview for these files.

Any suggestions on ImageMagick options to get this to work? Can post
samples if its helpful.

Thanks!

Roger Howard
