What the kind of convert I am using, is there any benefit using IM7 instead of IM6 ? Can we expect better quality? better speed?

for now, I uninstalled IM 7 and installed the latest 6.9.7 which works perfectly for that purpose. Looking at the changelog ( http://www.imagemagick.org/script/changelog.php ), it seems that a few bugs related to alpha channel got recently fixed. Still not yet all? @moderator: please feel free to ...

and if I ommit the -channel A, the headline and signature DO get transparent. BUT the other channels are affected and the whole picture is much darker.

thanks, but unfortunately did not help.

I don't really understand: the command line program "identify.exe" is using the Visual Basic API ??? Just tried again -6 years after- using IM 7.0.4: the identity command is still not able to output properly the characters when chcp 65001 is activated. I am using this command in a Powershell script ...

Hello, I've updated my IM to the lastest 7.04 from an earlier 6.9.x (Q16-x64 Win10) I use a IM script to resize my pictures, as following: convert $file -filter Lanczos -resize $resize -format JPEG -quality 85 -gravity SouthEast $signatureFile -compose atop -geometry +0+0 -channel A -evaluate Divide ...

indeed, giving a good subject title is always a tricky part. For instance, I ask about the mean color, but actually are more looking for "black or white labeling" as the post you mentioned, Bonzo. @ fmw42: I am using threshold exactly to get 'black' or 'white' and not the mean color directly ...

Hello, my use case seems quite classic, but I did not find direct answer yet. I started to write this thread looking for a solution, but found one in between, so more a way to share and discuss it ;) I am using IM for a while to resize my jpg for the web. I like to put the title of the picture ...

why don't you write convert.exe instead of convert, e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagick-6.7.2-Q16\convert.exe" etc Alternative is to have add your folder on your %PATH% variable (done by default at the end of the install), And using MSSQL, you might use also Windows PowerShell, which offer more ...

More than one year later, I've upgraded my main IM install to version 6.7.3-0 2011-10-08 x64: it still contains the bug!
So I'll continue to work with 2 versions: the old 6.5.0 for this dedicated command, and the 6.7.3 for the rest...

Thanks for the feedback. So the bug is confirmed in the current version, isn't it? What are the next steps? I think the problem is that your console isn't displaying UTF-8 properly. The difference is that I'm running on Mac OS X and the Terminal is natively UTF-8. The ExifTool FAQ number 18 ...

Thanks for the feedback. I got the same output: "voilà l'été", with code pages 1252 and 850 and "voilÃ" with code page 65001. identify -version gives me: Version: ImageMagick 6.6.1-10 2010-05-15 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org Edit: just upgrated to ImageMagick 6.6.3-0 2010-07-01 Q16 x64 dll, get th ...

Hi, Although the following topic deals with similar stuff, it is here a little different. http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16083 The problem is that imageMagick seems to ignore the IPTC CodedCharacterSet. I am using exiftool via geosetter to set the IPTC fields in UTF8 ...

As I was looking how writing the IPTC headline in the top of my image, I found this topic first. So to retrieve the IPTC file, I also tried exiftool which is however much slower. And better than convert, Identify does the job well: identify -format "%[IPTC:2:105]" input.jpg As I am under Win7, I ...
