How to know which command settings of ImageMagick created a particular image

55 views Asked by At

Consider I have created an image unknown.tiff from a page of a PDF, named doc.pdf, where the exact command for conversion aren't known. The size of this image is ~ 1MB.

The exact command isn't known, but it is known that the changes are majorly on depth and density. (A subset of these two, would do too)

Now, the normal command pattern is:

convert -density 300 PDF.pdf[page-number] -depth 8 image.tiff

But this gives me a file of ~17 MB, which obviously isn't the one I am looking for. If I remove depth, then I get a file of ~34 MB, and when I remove both, I get a blurred image of 2 MB. I also removed density only, then too the results don't match (~37 MB).

Since the output size of the image unknown.tiff is so low, I've hypothesized that it might take less time to get produced.

Since the time of conversion is of great concern to me, I want to know the ways I can come to the exact command which produced unknown.tiff
