How to convert .tiff/.bmp to JPEG-XR with Imagemagick's convert tool?

image-compression, imagemagick, jpeg-xr

Solution

The `-format` option is for outputting metadata in a specific format, not selecting the output file format.

Selecting a specific output format is done by prefixing the output filename with the tag described at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php, so for example

convert input.jpg jxr:output.jpg

Normally, imagemagick detects the output format based on the file extension you chose for your output file, so by choosing `.jxr` as your file extension it should automatically use the JPEG-XR format.

Problem

i'm using the `convert` tool from imagemagick to convert images to the jpeg-xr format. i'm using the latest version under debian linux (ImageMagick-6.8.6-8). The problem is `convert -format jxr` or `convert -format wdp` produce the same format as my source image and no valid jpeg-xr file. Is my `-format` parameter wrong? i didn't find anything about it thanks in advance
