Several problems here. First of all you say you are converting a tif to jpg, but all you show are tifs in your command.
Second, I don't know about the -identify in the command line. Never used it that way. But mainly, you are on Q16, so if you had an 8-bit per pixel (per channel) image to start, you now have a 16-bit per pixel (per channel) result. Try convert cd.tif -depth 8 cd1.tif then identify cd.tif identify cd1.tif or compare -metric rmse cd.tif cd1.tif null: Or compile IM as Q8 rather than Q16 >I have installed ImageMagick 6.4.5-Q16 and used the convert.exe program >to do some simple conversions.
