extracting PNG images from PSD file yields distorted images

[taquicito]

Hi,

When I use "convert homepage.psd out.png" only image [0] is good. The other images are distorted (they contain lots of noise). I'm using ImageMagick 6.5.7-8 distributed with Ubuntu but also compiled 6.6.3-1 from source and got the same result.

Identify outputs this for the file:

homepage.psd PSD 950x829 950x829+0+0 8-bit DirectClass 14.7MiB 0.120u 0:00.079

http://rapidshare.com/files/407579448/i ... -small.zip (433 kB) contains the verbose output of identify, one distorted PNG file and the same file as it should look. I obtained the PNG file as it should look with The Gimp.

http://rapidshare.com/files/407580425/imagemagick.zip (11.6 MB) contains the PSD file and the files that are also in the other download.

Please let me know if I can provide more information. I don't have Photoshop so I cannot send other PSD files.

Thanks and kind regards,
Taco

Maybe this is easier:

PSD file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5561398/imagema ... mepage.psd
Identify output: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5561398/imagema ... entify.txt

Correct conversion to JPG ([0] image): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5561398/imagema ... mepage.jpg

Distorted output: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5561398/imagemagick/out-14.png
Expected output (made with The Gimp): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5561398/imagema ... logans.png

the first frame (in IM [0]) of a psd file is usually the composite of all the other psd layers. so you generally only need the first frame.

But it would be nice to have the other layers. I have this problem, too, with a few PSDs.
(And in some PSDs, there is no layer '0'. Only "This layered Photoshop file was not saved with a composite image". And if it's CMYK, I can't open it with Gimp. )
