[magick-users] (no subject)

[Chris Miller]

Thanks, but your suggestion didn't work the way I intended.  I supplied an image that was 5540w x 1697x (a panoramic), and did this command:

convert image.jpg -resize 480^ imageout.jpg

What I got was an image that was 480w x 147h, so it took the LARGER of the two dimensions and scaled it to the size I asked for.  I wanted it to take the SMALLER, and give me an image 1567w x 480h.

If on the other hand my image was 1697w x 5540h, then I would want the same command to set the width to 480 instead of the height, yielding an image 480w x 1567h.

Can IM do what I'm asking?

Thanks,

...Chris.
