[magick-users] convert utility

[Carl Davis]

I have installed ImageMagick 6.4.5-Q16 and used the convert.exe program
to do some simple conversions.  Basically, I have converted a .tif file
to .jpg.

My questions:

Starting with a file cd.tif at 3,747K, just running the following
command:

Convert -identify cd.tif cd1.tif

The ending file sizes are:

cd.tif 3747K

cd1.tif 54,796K

 

Why is cd1.tif a full order of magnitude larger than cd.tif?  No actual
conversion was completed, besides both files are .tif.

 

Thanks in advance,

Carl
