Loading an Image worked fine for months and now suddenly I can’t make it work anymore (since my computer crashed, idk if this is in any way connected).

Whenever i try this:

```julia
using Images
img = Images.load("path")

```

I get this error:

```julia
UndefVarError: convert not defined

```

I am trying to load .tif images, which worked fine in the past as I said. But even if I try to load any other format, such as .PNG, it doesn’t work.

I can still use the

```julia
convert()

```

function as usual.

What comes after this? The part you have excluded from the stacktrace is probably pointing to the source of the problem.

There was an update to ImageMagick\_jll that ended up exporting convert. Imagemagick.jl has recently fixed this: [Use Base's convert, avoid method conflict with latest ImageMagick build · JuliaIO/ImageMagick.jl@c347fb9 · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaIO/ImageMagick.jl/commit/c347fb978f2f1353b170c90f70e9eeb11850c597)

An update has been submitted, try updating ImageMagick or using `]add ImageMagick#master`
