Hi, I recently upgraded from IM 6.3.5 to IM 6.4.3. Now my NEF (Nikon) images are identified as TIFF (identify -format "%m\n") instead of NEF. If I prepend NEF: everything works fine, but that was not necessary in 6.3.5 and is not really a feasible solution. I noticed that mime.xml changed ...

Hi, I have an (automatically) generated IM command which reads an image, and applies some operator with varying arguments to a given number of "slices" of the image, e.g.: convert input.jpg -respect-parenthesis \ -fill red \ -font Arial -pointsize 15 \ -write mpr:orig +delete \ \( \ \( mpr...

I have an image-processing system with 6700+ lines of bash-code. So the jump to a full-fledged programming language is not that easy. Anyhow, the current versions of bash _is_ a full-fledged programming language (well, almost). There are certainly more important topics for IM to work on, but maybe y...

The script does not help, since the bash resolves the variable-reference and you are still left with a commandline which could be just too long. In fact, my very long commandline is generated that way. Is is possible that a future version of IM could support reading the commandline from a file? In f...

Hi,

is there a mechanism to call convert with a very long commandline? Something like
and args.txt contains the commandline-arguments?

Yes, I know EPS is postscript and I also know the bounding-box stuff and I also know that my "naive" command produces EPS. But that was not my point (neither was the quality-stuff). My point is: how can I create a true A4 PS-page with an embedded image (say. e.g. centered, size calculated ...

Hi,

I would like to create an A4 PS-page (and place the image at a specified location). Using convert in a naive way:
does not work, since this produces an eps (using -page a4 just changes the image-size). Is there a solution to the problem?

Thanks, Bernhard

Hi, I get different results using the following two convert-commands: convert img1.jpg -resize x1535 -crop 1062x1535 -border 5 \( \ img2.jpg -resize x1535 -crop 1062x1535 -border 5 \) \ +append test.img and convert img1.jpg -resize x1535 -crop 1062x1535+0+0 -border 5 \( \ img2.jpg -resize x1535 -cro...

Hi,

documentation and the examples pages state that color-profiles can be removed with +profile icm. In fact, +profile icc is needed.

Hi, in one of my scripts I use the following line: convert /tmp/foo -rotate 90 -transparent white MIFF:/tmp/bar /tmp/foo is a ps-file. This worked fine until I changed to release 6.3.5. Now the conversion works fine, but white is no longer transparent. Only if I code convert ps:/tmp/foo -rotate 90 -...

Thanks for the tipp - this is much faster than the fx-method. It is still factor 2.25-slower (on my machine) than -modulate 100,0, but it is in a range that makes the conversion possible (and it's worth the effort).

Hi,

is there a chance to get a real channel-mixer (for better B&W-conversion)? Using something like

-fx 'r*.2+g*.5+b*.3'

does work, but it is so awefully slow that it is unuseable for real-life images.

Thanks, Bernhard

Hi, I want to create a preview of the original image together with a monochrome-version: convert myimage.jpg \( +clone -monochrome \) -append out.jpg The result is that both images are monochrome. In contrast the (pseudo) b&w-version: convert myimage.jpg \( +clone -modulate 100,0 \) -append out....

Hi, starting with 6.2.5 (?) the command montage -size 120x120 -label "%f\n%w x %h\n%b" *.jpg index.png gives "wrong" results for width and hight. Digging through various documentation I realize that the width and height are probably correct in the sense that it's the width and he...
