Alright, this is for the searcher out there who might be looking to do this exact thing. My commands were as followed. not being a IM guru nor a script writer, this might be faster or more concise for someone else, but I cobbled this process together through a lot of trial and error. Not so sure the ...

more confusion, when I bypass the other program, take a photoshop made tif with the OL alpha channel. I then slip out the alpha, thanks for that one, and composite it on top of the image and use lighten to drop out the background and I end up with a simular problem. not as bad. but it is there. I ...

OK, I am confused because when I run the convert with te -flatten command in a newer version of IM on a mac, I do not see the noise. why is that?

I can view it in photoshop cs 3-5 on various machines and I do not see it anyplace. weird........ OK, so I have a question, can I apply this mask in IM? i actually have the image without the mask applied. al the mask are named the same, goal is still the same, to have the mask applies with a white ...

actually the white outline does not exist in the original image as far as I can see. however, it occurs to me that is I extract the alpha channel like what you did and then i take the image and extract the alpha channel. and I do the opposite with the image so I have the 2 separate files, invert the ...

I am sorry, I did run these and saw the difference. I saw that you ended up with both of those results but I did not see how it would aid me in applying the mask to the image as I needed. Forgive me if I am missing something fundamental here that you where trying ti show me that would allow me to ...

Yes, I did and the results were the same. They did however work fine on a mac. sorry I could not move forward on the redhat box. saw in one discussion a bug in a earlier version of IM that suggested it used 254 to calculate grey scale alpha channels or something like that. not sure what he was ...

OK, changing course on this. We can not install the latest version on the redhat boxes. not even the latest redhat box has the right version of IM. Looks like porting the files off to a mac for the processing unless someone actually knows how to pull this off. Hate to do this but I am on a deadline ...

I am getting a Unrecognized command error on my 4 boxes. I notice that Red Hat version is behind the common listed frequent version. It was explained the Red Hat is "controling" versioning from a friend. Does anyone know if this is the cause of Unrecognized command. Does anyone know if bumping ...

I am sorry. Can you not access the ftp site? It is an enterprise FTP solution. FTP://Iridio.com Bob is both the log in and the password all lower case. I made this just for you. Please let me know that you can or can not access this. It is difficult to find a online hosting site that will allow for ...

the ftp link above is the input image. it was a photoshop tif that had the mask applied through a program called Claro which is a java image enhancement software product.

the mask was made in photoshop and is a testing image to identify the problem i am seeing.

convert -flatten -background white jeff.tiff bob.tiff I know i am hardly scratching the surface of this tool. I really have only been working with it a few days trying to get this automation done but I can see already the usefulness of it. I can see pulling it more and more into workflows. Thanks in ...

I am sorry, I am complaining about the noise in the feathered edge. Where you see that noise in the initial image, that is where the edge of the mask is feathering out. If I blur/feather more then the integrity of the mask will be damaged.

http://ftp.iridio.com/ login bob pw bob I am actually calling the program out of a thrid party but I can call any shell scripts out of it. I am using convert -background white -flatten bob.tiff I can not feather the mask in that it is a cut mask by a photoshop operator that we are sometimes ...

Yse, sorry, I am using the convert -background white -flatten

at least that is the one that has a few successes.

not sure how to post a tif but here is a imgur processed tiff. if you can help me i would be happy to pass the tiff on.
