Watermarking TIF files gives distorted outputs

Post by aamir4774@gmail.com »

I'm trying to watermark .tif files using the below command, for some of the tif files it works fine but for some it an distorted output with a message on console as follows:
wrong data type 7 for "RichTIFFIPTC"; tag ignored. `TIFFReadDirectory' @ warning/tiff.c/TIFFWarnings/918.

The commad used for watermarking the files is:

Code: Select all

magick "<input.tif>" -set option:wd "%[fx:0.6*w]" \( -background transparent -size "%[wd]x" -stroke "#000b" -fill "#000a" label:"Copyright" -blur 3x3 -stroke none  -fill "#ffff" label:"Copyright" -flatten \) -gravity center -compose dissolve -define compose:args=50 -composite -quality 50 -geometry +0+25 -compose over -composite "<output.tif>"

The message is a warning and should not affect the output. You can avoid seeing warnings by adding -quiet right after magick

Yes, it does watermark the output image file, but the watermark doesn't appear in the centre as it should and also the output image looks kind of distorted. Is this the command that needs to be rectified?

Sorry for confidential reasons I cannot share the image file, but the common observation is that file size where this issue is encountered are larger in size (more than 100 mb)

You have two composites in a row at the end (-compose dissolve and -compose over), but after the first composite there is no second image to composite.

Also you may have a virtual canvas in your input tif. So you may need to add +repage after reading it.

Also be sure you only have one layer in your tif file. If it has transparency, then imagemagick will see to layers. You can try putting [0] at the end of the input tif to read only the first layer.

If that does not help. The post the information from identify -verbose on your tif input.

I tried simplifying the command as below but the output is still the same

Code: Select all

magick input.tif-set option:wd "%[fx:0.6*w]" \( -background none -size "%[wd]x" -fill white label:"Copyright" -rotate "315" \) -gravity center -geometry +0+25 -compose over -composite output.tif
Below is the verbose information of one of those files.

Re: Watermarking TIF files gives distorted outputs

Post by fmw42 »

You need a space after input.tif and -set where you have input.tif-set. When I put the space in and use a red image of size 4096x2314 for the input, then I get a red image with the word "copyright" spanning the diagonal.

Code: Select all

magick -size 4096x2314 xc:red -set option:wd "%[fx:0.6*w]" \( -background none -size "%[wd]x" -fill white label:"Copyright" -rotate "315" \) -gravity center -geometry +0+25 -compose over -composite output.tif
