[Nithin B.N.]

Hi...

I have used convert command in my .net application. I want to know how
to distribute imagemagick with the product...Is it necessary to install
it in client's system. Or can we think of distributing only dlls.


Regards,

See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#resize

To resize to some specific dimension, such as 600x300, use

convert rose.jpg -resize 600x300\! rose1.jpg


Also from your message about getting 50x50 from a 1280x960 image, 
perhaps your image size is not what you think. Also be sure you do 
not have a space between 50 and %, ie, it should be 50% and not 50 %.

JPG format is lossy and not a good format for trying to get exact 
file sizes in bytes as a result. You can control (but not specify 
exactly) the resulting file size by using the -quality option before 
the output.  See
