converting TIFF to JPG - a problem

Hi all,

There are some TIFF files I've converted to JPG. For each file, I did it in two ways: the first one is by using the ImageMagic converter, and the other one is by using Windows Paint (File --> save As option).
My workstation is GE's Xeleris. The Xeleris can only read DCM files, but there is an option to add JPG images to a petient's file.
I've tried to add to the Xeleris all of the converted files. For some reason, when I've added the files that were converted with ImageMagic, there was a problem with the colors. you can see it here:

This is how the image is supposed to look like:

When added the files I've converted with Windows Paint, there was no such a problem.

I work with ImageMagic 6.7.5 Q16, under Windows XP pro, in command line mode (cmd).

Thank you for your attention,
Superot.

It is possible that your tiff files are in CMYK. Check using convert image -verbose info:. If so, then you need to change the colorspace using -colorspace or with profiles. If still a problem. Then you should post a link to your original tif so that others can test with it.
