EPS - Aliasing, Moire Problem

Post by al3x »

Hi

This is my very first post here,
I'm using IM with Lasso Integrated Wrapper (http://www.lassosoft.com/), I'm trying to convert EPS files to JPG so I installed Ghostmagick and It's works like a charm.

But I have a kind of aliasing or Moire effect on my JPG, like this :

Image

The EPS are at 305 dpi so I tried :

Code: Select all

mogrify -density 305 -format jpg
But it's still the same, I also tried -resample (72 and 305), -colorspace (RGB) and lot of differents parameters with no success. So I need your Help ! :)

This is the link for EPS source file and the link for result JPG file

Thank you for your help ! Greetings from france

I wonder if that is a jpg compression problem ? I would try saving as a png and see what happens; you can also add a -quality to the comand try -quality 100 for the least compression.

Thank you for your answer, I tried PNG with -quality 100 and it's still the same.

I re-opened the EPS in photoshop and re-saved it with "72 DPI no resampling"
JPG conversion in IM are perfect now but the problem is that I can't modify the EPS, I need to deal it with its native 305 DPI density...

I compiled Ghostscript 8.63 and run this command :

Code: Select all

gs -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=jpeg -dAlignToPixels=0  -sOutputFile=test.jpg -r305 -dGridFitTT=0 -dEPSCrop src.eps
And it did the trick

The problem was that the resolution was set before we read the XMP profile which updated the resolution. In your case it went from 72 to 305.
