61<p class="lead magick-description">ImageMagick uses an ASCII string known as <var>magick</var> (e.g. <code>GIF</code>) to identify file formats, algorithms acting as formats, built-in patterns, and embedded profile types.  Support for some of the formats are delegated to libraries or external programs. The Installation Guide describes where to find these distributions and any special configuration options required.</p>
62
63<p>To get a complete listing of which image formats are supported on your system, type</p>
64
65<pre>
66identify -list format
67</pre>
68
69<p>On some platforms, ImageMagick automagically processes these extensions: .gz for Zip compression, .Z for Unix compression, .bz2 for block compression, and .pgp for PGP encryption. For example, a PNM image called image.pnm.gz is automagically uncompressed.</p>
70
71<h2 class="magick-header"><a id="colorspace"></a>A Word about Colorspaces</h2>
72 <p>A majority of the image formats assume an sRGB
73colorspace (e.g. JPEG, PNG, etc.).  A few support only linear RGB (e.g. EXR,
74DPX, CIN, HDR) or only linear GRAY (e.g. PGM).  A few formats support CMYK.
75Then there is the occasional format that also supports LAB (that is CieLAB)
76(e.g. TIFF, PSD, JPG, JP2).  To determine the colorspace of your image, use
77this command:</p>
78
79<pre>
80-> identify -verbose image.jpg
81Image: image.jpg
82Format: JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format)
83...
84Colorspace: sRGB
85</pre>
86
87OR use the appropriate percent escape
88<pre>
89-> convert image.jpg -print "%[colorspace]\n" null:
90sRGB
91</pre>
92
93
94<p>When processing an image, be aware of the colorspace.  Many image
95processing algorithms assume a linear RGB colorspace.  Although you may get
96satisfactory results processing in the sRGB colorspace, you may get improved
97results in linear RGB (essentially sRGB with the gamma function removed).  For
98example,</p>
99
100<pre>
101convert image.jpg -colorspace RGB -resize 50% -colorspace sRGB resize.jpg
102</pre>
103
104<p>As of IM 6.7.8-2 one can properly work in LAB colorspace whether or not
105Imagemagick is <a href="high-dynamic-range.html">HDRI</a>-enabled.  Essentually the A and
106B channels are stored with a 50% gray bias, to allow it to handle the
107negatives required by the format.</p>
108
109<pre>
110convert lab.tif -resize 50% resize.jpg
111</pre>
112
113<p>Again, it may not make sense for some image processing operators to work
114directly in LAB space, but ImageMagick permits it and generally returns
115reasonable results.</p>
116
117<p>Prior to IM 6.7.8-2, the A and B channels has a discontinuity, making them
118non-linear. As such to process such images, you needed to first convert the
119colorspace some other linear colorspace, before apply your processing
120operator. Afterward you can transform back to the LAB colorspace.  For
121example,</p>
122
123<pre>
124  convert lab.tif -colorspace RGB -resize 50% -colorspace Lab resize.jpg
125</pre>
126
127<h2 class="magick-header"><a id="supported"></a>Supported Image Formats</h2>
128
129<p>ImageMagick supports reading over 100 major file formats (not
130including sub-formats). The following table provides a summary of
131the supported image formats.</p>
