[magick-users] convert troubles

[Daniel Kiedrowski]

Dear magickians,

I got a lot of troubles with convert.

 

I want to place an image in the center of an 1783x1276 pixels sized white
area and save this new picture. Here is my command line:

 

convert -size 1783x1276 xc:#ffffff -gravity center dest.jpg -composite
-quality 60 dest.jpg

 

But it doesn't work. I get this response:

 

convert: UnableToOpenBlob `xc:#ffffff': No such file or directory.

convert: NoDecodeDelegateForThisImageFormat `dest.jpg'.

convert: MissingAnImageFilename `dest.jpg'.

 

In fact this commandline above had worked quite a while. But I had to
compile and install a newer version of ImageMagick.

 

Please help me!

 

Greetings

Daniel  Kiedrowski
