Possible bug when saving an image to PCX format.

[mongoose54]

I have the following code:

Image rotate_frame;

rotate_frame.read("C:\FRAME.bmp");
rotate_frame.rotate(5*180/PI);
rotate_frame.write("C:\ROTATED_FRAME.pcx");

The program saves the file ROTATED_FRAME but when I try to open it with photoshop it says that it is a corrupted file. I removed rotate_frame.rotate(5*180/PI); line and the file is saved and opened normally. Any clues? Probably it is a bug because if i save the image in bmp. it is opened normally. I appreciate any help! Thanks!

We have a fix for the problem you reported in ImageMagick 6.4.1-9 Beta available sometime tomorrow. Thanks.

And which files should I overwrite so that the bug is fixed? Bear in my that I use ImageMagick embedded to my Visual Studio C++ project. Thanks a lot for your efforts!Keep up the good job!

Reset the alpha channel before you write the PCX image (e.g. image.matte(false)). That should fix the problem. Photoshop may not like PCX 32-bit images with an alpha channel. Without the alpha channel, ImageMagick creates standard 24-bit PCX images which Photoshop probably will not complain about.
