sips shows Unable to render destination image

macos, sips

Solution

Changing color profile value from RGB 16bit to 8bit sRGB fixing this problem.

This can be done by one command in Terminal:

find . -type f -name '*.png' -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' file; do sips --matchTo '/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/sRGB Profile.icc' "$file" --out "$file"; done

Then images can be resized by sips. For batch resize I use this command:

mdfind -0 -onlyin . "kMDItemPixelHeight > 600 || kMDItemPixelWidth > 600" | xargs -0 sips -Z 600

And at finish, this command for reduce size of image files:

find . -name '*.png' -exec pngquant --skip-if-larger --ext .png --force {} \; -exec xattr -c {} \;

Problem

I had used sips to resize PNG image as below command. sips -z 768 1024 image.png --out image-resize.png It works well. But today I got an error message as shown in below ``` <CGColor 0x7ffb72e05c40> [<CGColorSpace 0x7ffb72e04e70> (kCGColorSpaceDeviceRGB)] ( 0 0 0 1 ) Error: Unable to render destination image ``` If anyone could help it would be very much appreciated.
