[magick]

The image you posted has a transparent background. Isn't that what you wanted?

[kanwar_daman]

We don't have AdobeReady. We follow the published standard and use Ghostscript to verify the image is transparent.

Last advice. Try -compress rle on your command line.

[kanwar_daman]

i did what you said, and here is the url of the file generated

http://208.77.236.124:8080/idp/images2/new_rle.jpg

Please rename to eps.

How do you verify it is transparent with GhostScript??

[magick]

This shows your image has an alpha channel:

But then why the tranaparency is not showing up.
This is the most critical part of the project, the project will be cancelled if this is not solved.

Please help

Perhaps the problem is with AdobeReady. If you can prove ImageMagick is not producing an alpha mask or it is violating the published PDF standard we will investigate. Our current analysis is that ImageMagick is producing a proper alpha mask. Try downloading ImageMagick 6.5.3-8. We did make one patch to the alpha mask code. We removed JPEG compression for masks since JPEG does not support the required 1-bit mask that PDF demands.

Guys,
I got A reply from the client, i gave them the .ai files which were created using the ImageMagic,
and it seems like the .ai files which are created using "convert" are not vector files.

Is this a bug or something?

[magick]

ImageMagick is an image processing package. It turns vector formats such as Postscript, PDF, and SVG into image pixels.

[kanwar_daman]

But i was hoping it could create vector image from a jpg image pixels
So it cant do that?

[magick]

Hopes and aspirations won't change the fact that ImageMagick is an image processing package, not a vector processing package.

[kanwar_daman]

Well said

Do you know any vector processing package which is out there, which can help me create Vector images from jpg images. I need to hook it up with my Java App.

[magick]

Look for autotrace. Other free vector processing packages are xfig and inkscape. Perhaps Anthony or Fred can make additional suggestions.
