I am using version 6.3.0.
I am attempting to convert a binary TIFF that is in one format into a
Group4 compressed TIFF. I never get a Group4 compressed TIFF as output,
even when I start with one. I always get a PackBits encoded TIFF as
output.
I looked at the code and it seems that the function IsOpaqueImage is
returning TRUE and the TIFF writing function is changing my request for
Group4 compression into a request for RLECompression (AKA PackBits).
The command line I attempted is as follows:
convert -monochrome -compress Group4 input.tif output.tif
I even tried turning off the matte channel, as in:
convert -monochrome -compress Group4 +matte input.tif output.tif
Both yield similar results.
What parameters are required to create a Group4 TIFF?
