My server was recently updated to ImageMagick 6.7.2-7 2015-07-23 Q16. After this, I have noticed a few large files have trouble running some resizing commands which worked fine previously. Upon catching the errors, I get this: Insufficient memory (case 4) /my/image/file/big-photo.jpg @ error/jpeg.c ...

I want to create a simple image which only contains text. Similar to this: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/#label However, I'd like to keep it within php's Imagick. I know the font size, and I want the canvas size to fit to the font size, like it does in the xample. Unfortunalty, I don't see a ...

I'm currently using ImageMagick to resize and sharpen images. I'm now moving to VIPS due to performance reasons and the need for a quick, on the fly resizer. I use imageMagick's unsharpMask (http://php.net/manual/en/imagick.unsharpmaskimage.php) feature to sharpen a photo after resizing it. I'm ...

I have noticed that reducing it down to 95 almost halves the file size. Which is great.

seeing that my project is for professional photographers, the quality of the photo is extremely important.

I'm looking for the best practices for reducing jpeg file size for photos. A couple of things to consider: 1) I need to keep EXIF information in-tact. I know this can shave a bit off the filesize, but I need to keep it in this case. 2) Image quality has to be practically perfect to the original I've ...

I'm having a problem trying to load a local image into Image Magick and thus troubleshooting a timeout (no returned error) issue and have found that it occurs when I run the following: <?php $image = new Imagick('C:/wamp/www/mysite/files/1411326295.jpg'); ?> Here are some details regarding my setup ...

Understood. But what are the BEST settings to use when applying an unsharp mask to photos that have been resized?

Hi guys, I'm resizing photos uploaded to a photography gallery and have thus applied an unsharp mask to attempt to perserve the photos original sharpness. The settings I use are: radius: 0 sigma: 0.5 amount: 1 threshold: 0.05 I have noticed in some cases that photos are appearing over sharpened ...

From what I understand, imagemagick uses dcraw to convert raw files. Is there a way to upgrade the version of dcraw imagemagick uses so it's up-to-date?

I am working on a PHP application which will allow users to upload raw camera files and I would like to convert them to jpeg. Is there a way to do this with ImageMagick (or perhaps something else?).

I manage a photography website which has a user gallery. When someone uploads a photo we check if it is the correct size. If it isn't we resize it down using the following code: //don't touch density $set_density = 0; $image = new Imagick($temp); if($square == 0) { $image->scaleImage($width,$height ...

Using ImageMagick 6.2.8 I've come across an odd problem with the following code: $image = new Imagick($real_location); $ident = $image->identifyImage(); $format = $ident['colorSpace']; In most cases, this is fine. But on some photos it resets the connection and basically makes it look like the page ...

I have been using the following imagmagick command for quite sometime. However, we have noticed there is some blur from it and would like to sharpen the result. -resize "1000x1000>" -quality 100 So, we would like to know what is the best way to resize photos that may be quite large down to ...

The trouble is that I need to not only replicate as close as I can to photoshop, but also keep filesize as small as possible too. So therefore we have added -strip for that reason. However, it's still much much bigger than a photoshoped version. Any recommendatiosn on reducing filesize without ...

Here are some examples.
