[magick-users] read raw rgb 332 images

[Anton Feenstra]

Hi,


During recent cleaning action in my attic, I uncovered a stack of old
floppies containing some old (late 80-ies) image files of sentimental
value. These are written in a simple 'rgb 332' one byte per pixel format
at 256x212 pixels (yes, that was state-of-the-art once!).

I think convert should be able to read these, but I haven't been able to
figure out the options. '-size 256x212 -depth 8 raw:file.pic' expects
one byte per channel, so that won't work.

Can ImageMagick read these files?
If not, anybody know of a way to 'Make It So' (TM)?

I thought to cook up a palette of 256 entries, but that is probably a
bit of work (for me anyway) and seems quite dumb to me.

Groetjes,

Anton
