[magick-users] TIFF conversion error

[Beginner]

>From my experience this message comes from Libtiff and simply means 
that it has encountered a pseudo (or private) tag that it doesn't 
know how to interpret, so it will discard it. It won't effect the 
final file but the information within that tag will be lost. I have 
no idea why the compress option would suppress the error, perhaps 
they are re-directing the STDERR during the compression sequence.

HTH,
