Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hey,
at my linux env i'm using ImageMagick:
Version: ImageMagick 6.5.4-7 2014-02-10 Q16 OpenMP http://www.imagemagick.org
while using the convert operation i get something strange at output.
convert pic.bmp pic2.bmp
The output image isn't visible , and has bigger size and more "bits per pixel" (24 original vs 32 converted)
while doing it at my pc with ImageMagick 6.9.10-8 there is no problem at all.

can someone tell me what is the problem and how can i fix it?

IM 6.5.4.7 is ancient (over 450 versions old). Likely it is a bug or lack of feature in that old version. I doubt that the IM developers will go back and fix such and old system. The general policy is that fixes are made in new versions and it is up to you to upgrade.

So the "fix" is for you to upgrade your 6.5.4-7 version from 2/10/2014. You should ask your hosting provider or Linux distro to get a more recent version or at least a more recent patch than the 4 years old version you are using.
