Converting DDS to PNG fails

[Skyrunner]

I am trying to convert DDS files to PNG.

Using the command

Code: Select all

convert filename.dds filename.png

causes this error:

Code: Select all

convert.im6: unexpected end-of-file `item_herb.dds': No such file or directory @ error/dds.c/ReadDDSImage/403.

And the output is this image:



However, using image-online-converter to convert it works fine:



Are there some dds options that I need to specify? If you are curious, the file is uploaded here, using Dropbox.

see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php and http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... php#define for DDS defines

I don't think the options help me. I tried all three compressions and still got an identical result for all of them.

Is it possible that the particular dds file formats I am using are simply not supported by ImageMagick? :/

Are you using the latest version of ImageMagick? I can convert the image to the same output as you are expecting with the latest version (6.9.1-2)

It saves a lot of back and forth messages, if people would read the very top post on the User's Forum at viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9620 and always provide their IM version and platform.

Hmm, it seems I'm using 6.7.7-10, dated to 2014 March 6th. I'm not sure I would be able to install the most recent version because I think I got this from either Ubuntu's software manager or an apt-get... I suppose I could download an exe and just not add it to the path.

The date that you are seeing is the date it was compiled not the release date. Version 6.7.7 is from 2012.
