[magick-users] convert .dcm to .jpg

[travis noll]

I've been trying to get IM functional for my purpose
on OS X 10.4.8 but thanks for the lead on the windows
software.  I haven't given up yet and am learning so
much!

I've gotten ImageMagick to use the updated jpeg
libraries and it now will convert the testimgl.jpg
that comes bundled in the libjpeg-6b patch.  I'm
working on documenting the process of getting
everything working together in my environment.

Now, when I run the conversion on my .dcm files I am
alerted to:

tjn$ convert view0001.dcm view0001.jpg
convert: 12-bit JPEG not supported.  Reducing pixel
data to 8 bits `[[temp file path]]`.
convert: Must downscale data from 16 bits to 8 `[[temp
file path]]`.
tjn$

Finally a different result!
The output files are corrupted somehow and I am unable
to view the result.

I must be missing something when I invoke the
convert call.  Any thoughts?

Much Thanks!
