  <p>I would like to concatenate all of those TIFF files. I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Data\DEFAULT_USER\image\1&gt;convert +append 1_2017-06-12_15h27m02s121ms.tif 1_2017-06-12_15h27m02s121ms_1.tif outpu.tif
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I got some error messages like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>convert: ASCII value for tag "ImageDescription" contains null byte in value; value incorrectly truncated during reading due to implementation limitations. `TIFFFetchNormalTag' @ warning/tiff.c/TIFFWarnings/925.
  convert: improper image header `1_2017-06-12_15h27m02s121ms.tif' @ error/tiff.c/ReadTIFFImage/1236.

  <p>How do I work these things out?</p>
