<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>

<p>To get a complete listing of which image formats are supported on your system, type</p>

<pre class="highlight"><code>identify -list format
</code></pre>

<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>

<h2><a class="anchor" id="colorspace"></a>A Word about Colorspaces</h2>
 <p>A majority of the image formats assume an sRGB
colorspace (e.g. JPEG, PNG, etc.).  A few support only linear RGB (e.g. EXR,
DPX, CIN, HDR) or only linear GRAY (e.g. PGM).  A few formats support CMYK.
Then there is the occasional format that also supports LAB (that is CieLAB)
(e.g. TIFF, PSD, JPG, JP2).  To determine the colorspace of your image, use
this command:</p>

<pre class="highlight"><code>-> identify -verbose image.jpg
Image: image.jpg
Format: JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group JFIF format)
...
Colorspace: sRGB
</code></pre>

OR use the appropriate percent escape
<pre class="highlight"><code>-> magick image.jpg -print "%[colorspace]\n" null:
sRGB
</code></pre>


<p>When processing an image, be aware of the colorspace.  Many image
processing algorithms assume a linear RGB colorspace.  Although you may get
satisfactory results processing in the sRGB colorspace, you may get improved
results in linear RGB (essentially sRGB with the gamma function removed).  For
example,</p>

<pre class="highlight"><code>magick image.jpg -colorspace RGB -resize 50% -colorspace sRGB resize.jpg
</code></pre>

<p>As of IM 6.7.8-2 one can properly work in LAB colorspace whether or not
Imagemagick is <a href="high-dynamic-range.html">HDRI</a>-enabled.  Essentially the A and
B channels are stored with a 50% gray bias, to allow it to handle the
negatives required by the format.</p>

<pre class="highlight"><code>magick lab.tif -resize 50% resize.jpg
</code></pre>

<p>Again, it may not make sense for some image processing operators to work
directly in LAB space, but ImageMagick permits it and generally returns
reasonable results.</p>

<p>Prior to IM 6.7.8-2, the A and B channels has a discontinuity, making them
non-linear. As such to process such images, you needed to first convert the
colorspace some other linear colorspace, before apply your processing
operator. Afterward you can transform back to the LAB colorspace.  For
example,</p>

<pre class="highlight"><code>  magick lab.tif -colorspace RGB -resize 50% -colorspace Lab resize.jpg

The MPC format is not portable and is not suitable as an archive format. It is suitable as an intermediate format for high-performance image processing.
