Hi All,

I think this is actually a bug, but I posted here and don't want to duplicate a post...

Using ImageMagick 6.6.9-5 on my MacBook Pro.

I'm taking an image and: a) running a conversion b) streaming to a dat file

Starting image: http://keithgould.s3.amazonaws.com/resized.png

A) convert resized.png +dither -colors 24 -type TrueColor out.png

B) stream -map rgb -storage-type char out.png out.dat

C) display -depth 8 -size 1152x864 rgb:out.dat

Using Hexeditor it seems the dat file is all 0's.

Or an easier way to see its all 0s is to use the display command: display -depth 8 -size 579x625 rgb:out.dat -- which shows all black.

Thank you so much for any help!

Keith

Hi All,

So this is def a bug. I downgraded to ImageMagick 6.6.5-10 and everything worked fine.

Its possible I'm missing something and this a 'feature' of the newer version. If so please let me know, I'd love to upgrade!

Thank you,

Keith
