Error in loading some images from TestImages.jl

[a-r-n-o-l-d]

I have some errors when I try to load some images from package TestImages.jl (I have the same output with ImageMagick.jl). It works with TiffImages.jl. Any idea why this happens?

julia> using TestImages

julia> using OMETIFF

julia> testimage("cameraman.tif")

I can't reproduce the problem. I made a new environment with OMETIFF and TestImages

(@v1.6) pkg> activate .

Everything seems to work as expected (Julia v1.6.3 on Ubuntu 21.04). Your error seems to suggest a broken install. Have you tried to make a new environment and install only OMETIFF and TestImages?

Thank you, it works in a new environment (Julia 16.3, Ubuntu 20.0 ). It seems, I have broken something in my main environment.

Cool! Glad you got it figured out.
