installing using macports and a GUI like porticus makes this easy as pie, and will track all the dependencies and make upgrading a snap. i recommend uninstalling and reinstalling using porticus, and then you won't have to worry about manually upgrading all the dependent files!

Hi everyone, hope you're doing well. I've been trying to branch off colorspace, and have tried identify -format "%[colorspace]" file.ext as suggested in: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/escape.php but get a blank line. Some other bracketed options work, but not colorspace, nor depth. I h...

hello folks, hope everyone is having a good day. i'm rwiting because i want to replicate some of the blending options in photoshop using IM (python API). in photoshop, if you double-click on a layer that has another one underneath it, you get the "Layer Style" dialog box, which has Blendin...
