The dot just before "tar" should actually be a vertical bar symbol |
so the command should be:
gunzip -c ImageMagick.tar.gz | tar xvf -

I tried out your command with IM V6.2.6 Q8 on Win XP Pro SP2 and it works fine.

Using this input file:

with your convert command produces this output file:

I've played a bit with cropping and trimming that image and the margins are a bit more awkward than I thought. In order for trim to work you have to crop a two pixel margin off the top, 5 pixels off the left margin and 5 off the bottom margin and then trim (with a fuzz of 15) reduces the image to 89...

The fuzz option won't help with this image. If you magnify it with an image viewer you will find that there is a margin along the top and left sides of the image that is two pixels wide consisting of various shades of grey pixels. This is a screen grab of the top left corner of the image (I used Pai...

Have you tried a diffuser in front of the flash so that you get more even lighting? I have sometimes held a piece of crumpled Saran Wrap in front of the flash as a diffuser - cheap and fairly effective. Some tinfoil arranged vertically around the edges of the board to act as a reflector might help t...

I downloaded your image and called it test.jpg to save some typing. If you do identify -verbose test.jpg it will show that there are three profiles in the image file. The EXIF is 5482 bytes, IPTC is 6678 and XMP is 6461. convert -strip test.jpg test2.jpg will remove the profiles. test.jpg is 30049 b...

I came across what looks like a bug in version.h: #define MagickLibVersionNumber 6,2,6,5 #if (QuantumDepth == 8) #define MagickQuantumDepth "Q8" #define MagickQuantumRange "255" #elif (QuantumDepth == 16) #define MagickQuantumDepth "Q16" #define MagickQuantumRange "...

Not sure if this is exactly what you're after but this code will read two images and use the Dissolve operator to composite one image over the other. I've put the two images on my webpage so that this code will fetch them directly. This code was written on windows but with minor changes should work ...

You need:
images->rows for the height
images->columns for the width

[edit] I forgot to mention this is in version 6.2.6 03/18/06 Q8 There's a bug in the way that QueryMagickColor (in color.c) handles hex colour specifications. This code: PixelSetColor(c_wand,"rgb(0,0,0)"); MessageBox(NULL,PixelGetColorAsString(c_wand),"",MB_OK); will print 0,0,0 ...

I have the code for 5.5.6 and strip isn't in there. It looks like it isn't in 5.5.7 either. One thing you could try is to do an "identify -verbose" on the thumbnails. This will show you whether the file contains embedded info such as an EXIF or ICC profile. If such data is present then ide...

Add the -strip option to the command line. It will remove any profiles, thumbnails, EXIF info etc. that might also be in the input file.

Sorry about that
I obviously had a senior moment.

I've just installed the binary 6.2.6-5 Q8 and it doesn't have lib or include directories. The previous installed version I was using was probably 6.2.6-2 and it had those two directories. I can't find a distribution on your ftp that has these two directories.
Where did they go?

Thanks
Pete

Given the above could that account for the different signatures you are getting? Yes! As far as I can tell there's only one statement that affects the matte and removing that didn't change anything. BUT, it must have the matte set because if I make both versions write out the file as a PNG instead ...
