EPS to TIFF causes crash of IM

Post by steven_b46 »

I have many graphics that we convert from EPS to TIF using imagemagick. Lately, I'm getting an error about bmpsep8 and gsdll_init returns 1 and IM would crash. After reading a few threads, I saw a message about installing a newer version of Ghostscript (not sure what GS has to do with imagemagick). Anyway, after installing the latest version of gs, I no longer get a crash with IM, but the image generated is blank. The EPS images were created with Illustrator 10 (I believe). Any ideas? Would appreciate any help!!! Thanks!!!!

Post a URL to one or two EPS images. We need to download it and reproduce the problem before we can help.

THANK YOU. BTW, if there's something our illustrator operators can do to prevent this from happening, let me know.

Can you verify this image? We're getting a pure white image with Ghostscript and a pure black image with ImageMagick.

If ImageMagick detect CMYK colors, it loks for the bmpsep8 driver. Add -colorspace rgb before the image filename to use the pnmraw driver instead.
