IPTC conversion failing on JPEGs
Posted: 2008-02-01T07:18:50-07:00
Extracting IPTC from a JPEG using a 'convert' function fails with the error "No 8BIM data available"
Syntax used:
convert test.jpg test.iptc
convert test.jpg IPTC:test.txt
convert text.jpg IPTCTEXT:test.txt
This works with TIFFs, not with JPEGS, and hasn't worked for a long time - though it used to in 5.x as I recall.
One can extract IPTC using identify -format[%IPTC
y], but it's very a lengthy process
I've seen posts on this dating back to 2004, but no solutions - is there any hope on the horizon?
Or if it woud break the convert code, then how about a feature like this:
identify -format [%IPTC:2:*] ?
identify -format [%EXIF:*] works fine!
