Batch composite with resize

[peterpan33]

Hello,
i use "ImageMagick-6.6.0-10-Q16-windows-dll" (WIN7 64bit) and have created a Batch-file for converting my pics. The Batch-file is in the same lokation as the pics and locks like this:

Code: Select all

@echo on
md druck
FOR /f %%I IN ('DIR *.jpg /b') Do (convert %%I -resize 1477x985 1477x985_%%I)
FOR /f %%I IN ('DIR *.jpg /b') DO (composite %%I d:\AAA1vorlage\vorlage.gif -geometry +950+0 druck\vorlage_%%I)
del 1477x985*.jpg
del druck\vorlage_IMG*.jpg
quit

with the cmd i can use: composite -resize 1477x985 .... (one step)
In the batch-file does it only works with 2 steps. How can i optimise that?
My question: is there a better way to make this operation in 1 Step. I mean composite and resize and without doublemaking image and deleting?
Sorry fpr my English und thx for help.
Peter

I'm not clear about what your script is doing but give this a try:

Code: Select all

@echo on
md druck
FOR /f %%I IN ('DIR *.jpg /b') Do (convert %%I -resize 1477x985 d:\AAA1vorlage\vorlage.gif -geometry +950+0 -composite druck\vorlage_%%I)
del druck\vorlage_IMG*.jpg
quit

P.S. You should have posted this in the Users forum - it has nothing to do with COM or VB.

Hello,
ok, next time i will post in user forum. Your script do not work! . What I want to do with this script is, to put all pics ( are in one directory) on a created postcard (vorlage.gif). So every pic should be with the postcard-background. The pics have different sizes, so first make one size. Then put every pic on the background d:\AAA1vorlage\vorlage.gif and save it in the "druck" directory.
I think my was is not the easy way!
Thanks for your help
Ps.: Maybe an Admin can put me and my problem in the user.forum?

Sorry, I forgot that composing with convert requires the filenames in the opposite order , so change the for statement to this:

Code: Select all

FOR /f %%I IN ('DIR *.jpg /b') Do (convert d:\AAA1vorlage\vorlage.gif ( %%I -resize 1477x985 ) -geometry +950+0 -composite druck\vorlage_%%I)

hello,
sorry but this does also not work. In the cmd you can make it directly with one pic like that:

Code: Select all

composite pic1.jpg -resize 38% d:\AAA1vorlage\vorlage.gif -geometry +950+0 ready.jpg

so you do not need the convert command. But in the batch file it doesnot work? you said it need the opposite order, but i tested everything an it does not work. Maybe some more ideas?

you cannot combine steps with composite, but you can combine them with convert and parenthesis processing. convert allows you to use -composite, but the order of images has to be reversed. see

http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/compose/#compose
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#image_seq

convert backgroundimage ( overlayimage -resize 477x985 ) -geometry +950+0 -composite resultimage

How old is your version of IM. Perhaps it is too old and you need to upgrade?

Hi,
my version is "ImageMagick-6.6.0-10-Q16-windows-x64-static"! I think it is a new version! But i use it on a Windows 7 64Bit. Maybe thers is a problem? which is the right version for my OS?

Code: Select all

@echo on
md druck
FOR /f %%I IN ('DIR *.jpg /b') Do (convert %%I -resize 1477x985 1477x985_%%I)
FOR /f %%I IN ('DIR *.jpg /b') DO (composite %%I d:\AAA1vorlage\vorlage.gif -geometry +950+0 druck\vorlage_%%I)
del 1477x985*.jpg
del druck\vorlage_IMG*.jpg
quit

This Batch file works fine on my Computer, but it need a lot power and time, when you have more pics!
There must be a better way?

6.6.0 should be OK. try my single command line. to speed things up, you can compile in Q8 rather than default Q16

[peterpan33]

Hello again,
ok this works in the cmd for one pic:

Code: Select all

convert backgroundimage ( overlayimage -resize 477x985 ) -geometry +950+0 -composite resultimage

But I need to convert all pics of one directory. That is the reason, why i use the "for" command with a Batch file. But the "for" Syntax do not work with this code. So how can i use this code to change a lot of pisc?
Thanks a lot

I should have realized that the parentheses within the command are causing a problem. The DOS escape character is ^, so try this:

Code: Select all

FOR /f %%I IN ('DIR *.jpg /b') Do (convert d:\AAA1vorlage\vorlage.gif ^( %%I -resize 1477x985 ^) -geometry +950+0 -composite druck\vorlage_%%I)

Hey Pete,
thats it! YES! Thanks a lot. Now I have integrated this Batch file on the right mouse click, when I click on a directory. The idea: When you click right on a directory the Batch do his work in this directory.
Like this:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg\Shell\Pics on Background]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg\Shell\Pics on Background\Command]
@="\"D:\\AAA1Vorlage\\Batch.cmd\" \"%V\" "

One small problem is still there. It do not work for the directory you have clicked on. It work for the directory, one step over. So for example:
I have a directory: d:\ABC\123!
My pics are in "123", if i click right on "123" and start the Batch, it do the work for the "ABC"!
Small Problem. If you have a solution nice, if not nice. Thanks for your time and your help.
Peter
