Encode "empty" RGBA image to TIFF creates monochrome image

Hi there,

we automatically create images and convert these to TIFF using Magick++. The
created images are RGBA images (always). Some of these images may be empty
which means that every pixel is of value RGBA(0,0,0,0).
Encoding the image to TIFF using Magick++ unfortunately creates a monochrome
TIFF which cannot be handled correctly by some third party software which
follows the image creation process.

Is there any way to force RGBA image format even for "empty" images?

Bests,

Try

convert -size 1000x1000 xc:black -type truecolor -depth 8 empty.tif
