cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000[diff] [blame]61<p class="lead magick-description">ImageMagick uses an ASCII string known as <var>magick</var> (e.g. <code>GIF</code>) to identify file formats, algorithms acting as formats, built-in patterns, and embedded profile types. Support for some of the formats are delegated to libraries or external programs. The Installation Guide describes where to find these distributions and any special configuration options required.</p>

cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000[diff] [blame]69<p>On some platforms, ImageMagick automagically processes these extensions: .gz for Zip compression, .Z for Unix compression, .bz2 for block compression, and .pgp for PGP encryption. For example, a PNM image called image.pnm.gz is automagically uncompressed.</p>
70
71<h2 class="magick-header"><a id="colorspace"></a>A Word about Colorspaces</h2>
72 <p>A majority of the image formats assume an sRGB
cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000[diff] [blame]73colorspace (e.g. JPEG, PNG, etc.). A few support only linear RGB (e.g. EXR,
74DPX, CIN, HDR) or only linear GRAY (e.g. PGM). A few formats support CMYK.
75Then there is the occasional format that also supports LAB (that is CieLAB)
76(e.g. TIFF, PSD, JPG, JP2). To determine the colorspace of your image, use
77this command:</p>
78
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000[diff] [blame]79<pre>
80-&gt; identify -verbose image.jpg
81Image: image.jpg
82Format: JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format)
83...
84Colorspace: sRGB
cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000[diff] [blame]85</pre>
86
87OR use the appropriate percent escape
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000[diff] [blame]88<pre>
89-&gt; convert image.jpg -print "%[colorspace]\n" null:
90sRGB
cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000[diff] [blame]91</pre>
92
93
94<p>When processing an image, be aware of the colorspace. Many image
95processing algorithms assume a linear RGB colorspace. Although you may get
96satisfactory results processing in the sRGB colorspace, you may get improved
97results in linear RGB (essentially sRGB with the gamma function removed). For
98example,</p>
99
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000[diff] [blame]100<pre>
101convert image.jpg -colorspace RGB -resize 50% -colorspace sRGB resize.jpg
cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000[diff] [blame]102</pre>
103
104<p>As of IM 6.7.8-2 one can properly work in LAB colorspace whether or not
105Imagemagick is <a href="high-dynamic-range.html">HDRI</a>-enabled. Essentually the A and
106B channels are stored with a 50% gray bias, to allow it to handle the
107negatives required by the format.</p>
108
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000[diff] [blame]109<pre>
110convert lab.tif -resize 50% resize.jpg
cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000[diff] [blame]111</pre>
112
113<p>Again, it may not make sense for some image processing operators to work
114directly in LAB space, but ImageMagick permits it and generally returns
115reasonable results.</p>
116
117<p>Prior to IM 6.7.8-2, the A and B channels has a discontinuity, making them
118non-linear. As such to process such images, you needed to first convert the
119colorspace some other linear colorspace, before apply your processing
120operator. Afterward you can transform back to the LAB colorspace. For
121example,</p>

The MPC format is not portable and is not suitable as an archive format. It is suitable as an intermediate format for high-performance image processing. The MPC format requires two files to support one image.

cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000[diff] [blame]1455<p>ImageMagick includes a number of built-in (embedded) patterns which may be referenced as if they were an image file. The <code>pattern:</code> format tag may be used via the syntax <code>pattern:</code><var>name</var> to request an embedded pattern (e.g. <code>pattern:checkerboard</code>). The pattern size is controlled with the <a href="command-line-options.html#size">-size</a> command line option.</p>
