Interesting.. CS5.1, Thumbsplus, and xnView are all able to open it.. Regardless, I created a checkerboard TGA in IM and used it in place of my original one on a set of 3 test images. On converting and reading out the tags in exif tool, there is no more bad tag error. I'll try it on an entire folder ...

I'm running ImageMagick-6.8.0-8 on Windows. My copy of exiftool is 8.91 (going to update it after I submit this post). It can read the results with no problem also. Regardless of whether or not it can read it, there is a bad tag in the metadata. Take my result file and run the following: exiftool -a ...

Hi, I've been away for the last week, just got back yesterday. I've put a sample image up on bitly. It's a TIF so I can't attach it here. (issue resolved / link removed) The source image: Test_Image.tif The resulting image: Test_Image_postIM.tif The exact command being used to do the conversion ...

EXIF Tool actually doesn't work in this situation.. Once IM outputs that corrupted file, EXIF Tool is no longer able to write metadata to it. I've already tried. The next thing I'll try is to resave the images from the photoshop masters and see if that makes a difference. I did notice that the files ...

The way I'm running it currently is compiling all the directories and files into a batch file. The resulting batch file ends up being a long line-by-line list of all the 'convert' commands. I'm not sure how I would run your sample command on my directory structure.. Here's a sample of what it looks ...

Was too good to be true.. ImageMagick seems to mangle something in the metadata. After following this method, and then using EXIF Tool to read the files into a csv, the files that were edited with ImageMagick all have "Bad Tag" errors in the metadata, in the EXIF:EXIFToolWarning column EDIT: I ...

Hey that seems to work.. I've only run a couple tests but later tonight will test some fully tagged images and verify that all the tags in the source image survive through to the output. Thanks for the suggestion, looks good so far and saves the extra step of copying the tags over in EXIF Tool.

Yeah that's already going to be my fallback approach..

I was just hoping there would be some way for IM to preserve existing metadata in the top file, rather than copy it... If there isn't a way in IM i'll use the EXIFTool approach...

Hi, I'm trying to come up with the right command line to layer an alpha transparent TIFF image onto a solid checkerboard image, and output the final result as a 24-bit image which essentially shows the checkerboard through the alpha transparent areas. The top image in the stack contains metadata. So ...

I think I made a little bit of progress with this by adding a second FOR loop and using a +adjoin before the final output filename: FOR %%F IN (%1\*.tga) DO composite -compose Dst_over -tile pattern:checkerboard -size 10x10 "%%F" "%%~nF.png" montage *.png -background "transparent" -type ...

Here is another way to do it without montage (using append) Thanks for these examples fmw42.. I'm going through them trying to gain more familiarity with the way commands are commonly structured in IM.. All of this is very new to me.. I'm mostly a visual artist. Scripting and programming and ...

I just removed "-depth 8" entirely since there's no need for it. I've modded the first line to FOR /R %%F IN (*.tga) DO composite -compose Dst_over -tile pattern:checkerboard -size 10x10 "%%F" "%%~nF.png" and it seems to be the right beginning but not sure how to handle the processing of the folders ...

Awesome, thanks.. I renamed it to imconvert.exe and it works now... I've got everything working up to and including step 5 from the list I made in my earlier post.. Basically my batch code now creates the grid, appends the header image above the grid and saves it, superimposes that over the backdrop ...

Hehehe, no worries. I thought I tried everything I could think of before my head hit the keyboard and I passed out. :) Is there a way to make this work on filenames that have spaces in them? It chokes on spaces in the filenames. However, I started brainstorming a few ideas and I think I'm kinda ...

What substitution are you going for with %~nF.png ? When I run that block from a batch file I get: E:\img_output>montage.bat The following usage of the path operator in batch-parameter substitution is invalid: %~nF.png For valid formats type CALL /? or FOR /? montage.bat was unexpected at this time ...
