using ImageMagick
Attention
If the error messages width or height exceeds limit
and cache resources exhausted
are encountered, it may be necessary to change the resource limits that ImageMagick has set for itself. In Kubuntu, this can be done by editing the default resource policies stored in the policy.xml
configuration file located in /etc/ImageMagick-6/
. Use cd /etc/ImageMagick-6/
to navigate to the directory, sudo cp policy.xml policy.xml.bak
to make a backup file, and sudo nano policy.xml
to open the file using nano. Set the width and height values to 32KP
and the memory and disk values to 2GiB
, all under <policymap>
.

prior work
The possibility of changing ImageMagick's resource limits was introduced to me by a thread on the ImageMagick forums and an issue on GitHub.
