In your command, you should put operations like "-repage" and "-rotate" after the input filenames, not before.

I was taking syntax from here, is this page outdated?

Anyhow, thanks for the prompt replies as usual!

Big thanks GreenKoopa, that worked like a charm- here is the code (windows version) if anyone needs it for future reference convert -size 2400x3000 xc:white ^ ( -repage +39+36 fighter.jpg ) ^ ( -repage +824+36 fighter.jpg ) ^ ( -repage +1611+36 fighter.jpg ) ^ ( -repage +39+1124 fighter.jpg ) ^ ( -r...

Hmm, yeah I missed the spaces, I knew that!
But any time I put the rotate command on that last line it offsets the previously laid out images. Here is a test image http://www.pasteall.org/pic/53798 if you want to try.

I'm having issues once I get to the point where I need to rotate the image on the bottom, Everything gets a bit crazy. I tried flattening before the rotation operations but that doesn't work either, here is an example iteration of what I have tried (aceotest.jpg is a 750x1050 image): convert -size 2...

This has been put on the back burner, but I'm now getting back to it- thanks for the replies so far.
Quick question, what is the difference between flatten and composite? Is one faster/better? All I need to do is make a single image from 2 or more images, no animation.

I haven't been able to find anything in my searches for this- How does one composite the same image multiple times at different locations, like this for example: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/51512 (cool dwarf sprite is from Battle for Wesnoth :D ). I also need to perform crop/scale ahead of the compo...

That is not working either- using IM 6.8.5.5 I'm on windows, but have yet to come across an issue with the convert command :o . I've had success with non-square images using this code, just a perfectly square image (362x362 in this case) doesn't want to rotate. *edit* OK, now sans rotate it works. A...

Hey all, I'm having issues rotating a perfectly square image to be composited onto a non-square surface- it doesn't want to rotate. convert -size 2100x1500 xc:white ( square.jpg -rotate 90 -resize x1350 -gravity center ) -composite foo.jpg I've tried relocating the -rotate command to before and afte...

I'm stripping it because we get images with different profiles, so I thought a generic function would be more efficient than doing the -verbose route. I'm still pretty new at this so I'm sure there is a smarter way!

edit: i did it without the strip and it looks like that did the trick- thanks

I'm still struggling with this, but in a different place, maybe I'm just doing things in the wrong order. An example: convert -size 3000x2400 xc:white ( uvgrid.jpg -strip -resize 2800x2400 ) -gravity center -composite -profile mycustomprofile.icc 8x10colortest.jpg I've tried putting the -strip and -...

Thanks snibgo, that code seems to be exactly what I need. :D @fmw42- yes that is my next step, the -extent part. Some people want to have odd sized images on a certain print size without cropping. Thanks for the links and advice. *as a side note I may have found a bug, when using the crop operator w...

Thanks for the reply, I will give that a try. Also,there are different resizing algorithms, is the default good for both upscaling and downscaling? I imagine I will have to run a sharpening process as well.

Hey all, I'm trying to figure out a good way to do this, any input is appreciated. I need a way to create a template (actually many kinds) for print purposes, but for example lets say a 4"x6" with .25" borders. So, being that we would want it at 300ppi, it would start at 1200x1800px. ...

Anthony thanks for the links and coding efforts, I will keep an eye on this most definitely. Is this something in the current release? It seems like the project is updated quite frequently.

*edit- sorry, missed the v7 tag in the link!

Thanks for the tip concerning the paths and verbose, it clears things up.
