179
cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000180<p>ImageMagick uses an ASCII string known as <em>magick</em> (e.g. <code>GIF</code>) to identify file formats, algorithms acting as formats, built-in patterns, and embedded profile types.</p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000181
182<p>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>
183
184<p>To get a complete listing of which image formats are supported on your system, type</p>
185
cristyf1b8a092014-02-20 15:46:11 +0000186<p class="crt"><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class="crtin">identify -list format</span></p>
cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000187<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>
cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000188</div>

cristy417eeb12013-07-28 18:48:22 +0000190<h2><a id="colorspace"></a>A Word about Colorspaces</h2> <div class="doc-section"> <p>A majority of the image formats assume an sRGB
cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000191colorspace (e.g. JPEG, PNG, etc.). A few support only linear RGB (e.g. EXR,
192DPX, CIN, HDR) or only linear GRAY (e.g. PGM). A few formats support CMYK.
193Then there is the occasional format that also supports LAB (that is CieLAB)
194(e.g. TIFF, PSD, JPG, JP2). To determine the colorspace of your image, use
195this command:</p>
196
197<pre class="text">
198 identify -verbose image.jpg
199 Image: image.jpg
200 Format: JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format)
201 ...
202 Colorspace: sRGB
203</pre>
204
205OR use the appropriate percent escape
206<pre class="text">
207 convert image.jpg -print "%[colorspace]\n" null:
208 sRGB
209</pre>
210
211
212<p>When processing an image, be aware of the colorspace. Many image
213processing algorithms assume a linear RGB colorspace. Although you may get
214satisfactory results processing in the sRGB colorspace, you may get improved
215results in linear RGB (essentially sRGB with the gamma function removed). For
216example,</p>
217
218<pre class="text">
219 convert image.jpg -colorspace RGB -resize 50% -colorspace sRGB resize.jpg
220</pre>
221
222<p>As of IM 6.7.8-2 one can properly work in LAB colorspace whether or not
223Imagemagick is <a href="high-dynamic-range.html">HDRI</a>-enabled. Essentually the A and
224B channels are stored with a 50% gray bias, to allow it to handle the
225negatives required by the format.</p>
226
227<pre class="text">
228 convert lab.tif -resize 50% resize.jpg
229</pre>
230
231<p>Again, it may not make sense for some image processing operators to work
232directly in LAB space, but ImageMagick permits it and generally returns
233reasonable results.</p>
234
235<p>Prior to IM 6.7.8-2, the A and B channels has a discontinuity, making them
236non-linear. As such to process such images, you needed to first convert the
237colorspace some other linear colorspace, before apply your processing
238operator. Afterward you can transform back to the LAB colorspace. For
239example,</p>

241<pre class="text">
242 convert lab.tif -colorspace RGB -resize 50% -colorspace Lab resize.jpg

This file format is identical to that used by ImageMagick to represent images in memory and is read by mapping the file directly into memory. 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.

To specify a single-precision floating-point format, use <code>-define quantum:format=floating-point</code>. Set the depth to 64 for a double-precision floating-point format. Use <code>-define quantum:polarity=min-is-black</code> or <code>-define quantum:polarity=min-is-white</code> toggle the photometric interpretation for a bilevel image. Specify the extra samples as associated or unassociated alpha with, for example, <code>-define tiff:alpha=unassociated</code>. Set the fill order with <code>-define tiff:fill-order=msb|lsb</code>. Set the TIFF endianess with <code>-define tiff:endian=msb|lsb</code>. Use <code>-define tiff:exif-properties=false</code> to skip reading the EXIF properties.
