[magick-users] eps and clipping issues

[Jon Massey]

Hi guys, bit of an imagemagick noob here.

I'm trying to use convert (on win32 with the latest ghostscript 
installed) to clip all the photoshop eps files in a folder (which have 
clipping paths), resize to a 400x320px and output gif with a transparent 
backgroud named [filename]_big.gif (i also need to do the same with a 
smaller size and a _small suffix on the filename, but if i can figure it 
out for one it wont be much to make it work for the smaller one!).

>From what I've read, imagemagick can do all of this (what with it being 
the daddy of command-line manipulation and all) but i'm a bit lost when 
it comes to the myriad command line options and how best to string them 
together. I've had a trawl on google and the mailing lists and still no joy.

If there some windows-specific issues with this approach, i do have a 
linux box with imagemagick installed but I'd rather not have to push all 
the huge eps files out to it since it is offsite and bandwidth is precious!

sorry for the long post!
