Resize RAW images on Mac OS
April 16, 2016
One usually starts out installing imagemagick for converting or resizing photos.
brew update && brew upgrade && brew install imagemagick
However, converting RAW pictures might throw an error:
$ convert -depth 16 -size 366x275 IMG_6520.CR2 image.jpg
convert: delegate failed `"ufraw-batch" --silent --create-id=also
--out-type=png --out-depth=16 "--output=%u.png" "%i"' @
error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1333.
convert: unable to open image `/var/tmp/magick-63323_sbBHCIgS67y.ppm': No
such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2702.
convert: no images defined `image.jpg' @
error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3252.
You need libraries for imagemagick to parse the RAW images.
brew install ufraw
I have been able to successfully convert RAW images from Panasonic LX7 and Canon 1000D after getting those libraries.
