Hallo,
how reliable is a converation like
Code: Select all
convert m.psd -layers merge -compress zip m.tif
Usually, m.psd is a complex document using several layers and smart filters.
Is the result m.tif the same as whether I export m.psd in Photoshop
to a single layer tif?

fmw42's idea did not work.
As snibgo wrote, IM seems to ignore these filters.

ImageMagick cannot handle smart filters or adjustment layers or group layers at this time. It is very limited in its handling of PSD files. There are some defines that can be used. See
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... php#define. But I do not think they will help you in this case where you want to save to Tif.
