convert 16-bit tiff to 8-bit tiff
Posted: 2010-05-04T00:37:59-07:00
Hej allihop!
I want to convert a 16-bit tiff image to 8-bit:
this is the information I get about the original image with identify:
original.tiff TIFF 658x486 658x486+0+0 16-bit Grayscale DirectClass 640KB 0.000u 0:00.000
I tried the following command:
convert original.tiff -depth 8 -define quantum:format=unsigned -type grayscale test.tiff
This does not seem to work as the resulting tiff is just black.
I have no clue what could be wrong and be happy about any help!
