You did not post an RGB PSD image. It was simply grayscale PNG. Actually, when I run: identify tmpkb1Es2.png I get this result: /Users/chris/Dropbox/tmpkb1Es2.png PNG 2940x1302 2940x1302+0+0 8-bit sRGB 218KB 0.010u 0:00.000 So I believe ImageMagick thinks it's an RGB file (admittedly with the same ...

Running identify gives me this: identify ...
