[Shake-dev] Problem converting ps files to jpg [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Trevor.Allen at ga.gov.au]

Hi all,

Firstly, happy New Year to all!

Now to the problem.  I've just installed V3.5 locally on my mac and am using the "convert" function from ImageMagick-6.6.5.  The code runs through properly and the ps files look perfect.  However, in the conversion process the resulting jpg files appear quite blocky and are quite poor in resolution.  I've tried adjusting the jpg compression quality factor in genex.config, but all this does is change the file size.  My colleagues in Indonesia are experiencing the same problem and I have attached an example of one of their ShakeMaps.

Has anyone else experienced this?  If so, any thoughts on how to fix the problem would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Trev
