You are just luck you did not get a BLACK background, rather than the white with some color. That background is the 'undefined' color that us hidden by the PNG transparency. that is transparent-red looks the same as transparent-blue to use, but will be just red and blue when you save directly to JPEG. The solution is to remove the transparency by flateening the image to a color of your choise... convert image.png -background white -flatten image.jpg | This is debian imagemagick: | Version: ImageMagick 6.0.6 02/11/07 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org | Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2004 ImageMagick Studio LLC | Also your IM is EXTREMELY old! Unfortunatally there is currently no way of generating new debian packages and no debian package experts know how to generate such packages. If we can get the help of a debian expert we could probably setup the ability to generate of debian type packages. I looked at the Debian package to try to figure this out, but did not know enough with the current IM changes to get this working. The only suggestion I have is to install a personal version of IM for your system, outside the debian IM package.
