Is it by design or is it a bug in ImageMagick? That may very well be a bug in that (other) library, but I don't understand why the files generated by ImageMagick have these two different sets of values. In an attempt to figure out what was going on, I used Exiftool to look at the actual metadata values, and that's when I saw the discrepancy-the image metadata in the files created by mogrify were inconsistent.Ĭlearly, the right values are the Image Height/Width values, but unfortunately the other image processing library appears to be giving precedence to the Exif values. Exiftool reports both an Exif Image Height/Width value as well as an Image Height/Width value.įor background, I have a very large collection of images that I had resized using the mogrify command I was trying to run these images through some other image processing library, and that library was getting confused about the image dimensions, specifically, it was reporting the image dimensions as being the dimensions of the original (parent) image although I was using the resized images.

The command was mogrify -resize 2048x2048 I was then using exiftool to look at the metadata.
