Convert TIFF to jpg using ImageMagick in terminal on Yosemite

Question

I've got a directory filled with tif files that I'm trying to convert to jpg format.

for i in *.tif ; do convert "$i" "${i%.*}.jpg" ; done

I'm using ImageMagick 6.8.9-8 installed via brew on Yosemite in Terminal.

I'm not looking to do anything fancy, just convert from one format to another. I've check to ensure I have the tif delegate installed. I've looked here and on Google, Bing, etc., yet I can't get a command to work.

Answer 1

Issue resolved. After installing, reinstalling, adding delegates, etc., I discovered:

brew doctor

I followed the prompts, ran the commands it recommended. I discovered I had a lot of stuff that was out of date, incorrect dependencies, stuff that needed pruning, etc.

I finally did this:

brew uninstall imagemagick

brew install libtiff (even though I had it previously)

brew install imagemagick

I ran the very same command in my original query and rather than giving me a > prompt and doing nothing until I pressed ctrl+c, the command ran and converted my files.

How I felt when it worked.
