Yes. I edited the above post to correct that. I tried -sharpen and -unsharp, but neither of them worked as well as -adaptive-sharpen. -unsharp definitely has some potential, but it seems to work a little too well for what I'm doing. The images output are sharp to the point of looking jagged in ...

I am getting slightly better results with "-adaptive-sharpen", "0x0.6'. Higher sigmas (2, 4 even 6) didn't help at all. Processing speed is absolutely key for what I am doing, so I thought that the color conversion might be faster on the smaller resized image. I don't know if it really makes any ...

I tried this with "-adaptive-sharpen", "0x0.5" and "0x0.2" but it's just not turning out decent quality for the smaller sizes (135x135 is especially bad...Smaller than that and it's too small to be noticeable anyway).

I am running an automated process via a VB script and the IMage Magick COM+ library that processes thousands of images a day for web based viewing. The program takes a source image and resizes it from the initial size (Usually 600x600 or larger) into various smaller sizes (The exact sizes depend on ...

Thanks for the input. By replacing -resize with -thumbnail and -sharpen, "0" with -adaptive-sharpen, "0" I was able to bring the size down by almost 50% while maintaining quality. I am now getting smaller image sizes than Photoshop puts out, with equivalent or better quality. I realize now that I ...

I am developing a script using the ImageMagick COM+ component to process images in a production web environment. We currently use a legacy process that utilizes the Photoshop COM + interface, so this new script will be replacing that process. By way of disclaimer, I am not a graphics expert, so I ...
