From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701 Description of problem: Hello, running the following command convert -type Grayscale file.tif out.gray results in a big-endian raw file instead of little-endian - the host architecture. The input file is unsigned 16-bit tiff. This occurs if the original TIFF file is big-endian or little-endian. Using the flags -endian LSB/MSB makes no change. It also occurs irregardless of the ImageMagick display reads the raw file as a big-endian file. Examining the file in a hex-editor (e.g. emacs with hexl-mode or khexedit) shows the raw file to be in MSB I have verified this up to ImageMagick-5.5.6-5. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ImageMagick-5.4.7-10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Get a grayscale TIFF file 2.Run "convert infile.tif outfile.gray" 3.Examine raw file in emacs with hexl-mode, or khexedit, or any hex editor. 4. Repeat with additional flag "-endian LSB" or "-endian MSB". Actual Results: Raw file is written with big-endian byte ordering instead of the host architecture. Expected Results: The raw file should be written with little-endian byte ordering, as I am using Intel i686. Additional info:
