large gif resize doesn't work

Post by counterpoke »

I have a gif image wich is 3296 x 6695 (878 KB), which causes convert to have a "unable to extend cache", "File too large" error.

I'm running ImageMagick 6.2.8 on RHEL 5.

If you tell us where it is, someone can try with a more recent IM version.

Its possible your default temporary area does not have enough free space. Assume you have plenty-o free space at /data/tmp. Try
  • export MAGICK_TMPDIR=/data/tmp
    convert huge.gif ...
If that fails, try upgrading to the latest ImageMagick release, 6.6.1-1.
