Sounds like a good plan. I suspect it does but I will verify that. I wouldn't expect the addition to be quick but it'll be worth waiting for.

If it does, it would be a huge benefit to add it to IM. At present, the only option I've found that does it nicely is the J2K Photoshop plugin which is not a practical option for larger scale processing. The lack of metadata transferred is easily fixed with EXIFTool.

Hi All I found an old post related to this( https://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?t=26210 ) but thought it might be better to start a new one. I'm looking for a method to save a JP2 with lossless compression and the AdobeRGB colour profile. A command line of: convert in.tif ...

You would need to scan it at twice the resolution (at least). Other OCR programs will recognise text in the images but the low resolution will reduce accuracy. Most recordkeeping standards require at least 200dpi as a minimum (~2400px for an A4 page) with most OCR engines operating best with 400dpi ...

Are you doing anything with the images in IM or just reading the metadata? If the latter, then you might be better off with Exiftool. You'll still get DMS but the format will be consistent regardless of device and you can customise list format easily. https://sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/geotag ...

Hmm, soft shadow... flatbed scanner/copier, white pages with white background and auto page detection? Is this a real image? Are the 3 faint "rectangles" content or just processing artefacts? Final output is to be colour/greyscale/bitonal? Retaining the true page background? Page size is fixed or ...

... Surprisingly, the first image I posted gives the best results though they are far from perfect... Actually it's not that surprising. The OCR process uses the shape of the characters so the noise is mostly irrelevant unless it connects to the characters or is sufficiently large to be mistaken ...

Reviving this old one only because it was the basis for my solution. In my case I'm starting with a colour scan so the bitonal dithering is not an issue. My test images are an old manuscript ( http://cat.lib.unimelb.edu.au/record=b2651611 ) chosen only to test out the image cleanup. The items to be ...

You could also create a spreadsheet to generate the batch file for you. Put your filenames in one column and IM options in another and the use a concatenate calculation to create the full command. If you wanted to cycle through a number of styles for example you could auto-fill a column with ...

Thanks for the suggestions. I've done a test run on all of the images and it's worked pretty well. There are still a few other exceptions with low contrast images. I have to figure out a way to classify these first but it's looking like a combination of median, mean and stdev. I've got an Ubuntu ...

try this using -contrast-stretch and -level. IM needs values in quantum range or percent. So I always convert to percent, since I do not know what your quantum range is for your compile of IM. PS always provides value in the range 0 to 255. As I recall PS levels uses default clip values of 0.01 ...

The second tweak worked nicely and I'm curious if it's possible to do it all in ImageMagick. http://files.digitisation.unimelb.edu.au/demo/microfilm/microfilm-QA.jpg magick in.file -auto-level -auto-gamma -set colorspace Gray -separate -evaluate-sequence Mean -gamma NNN out.file The value for the ...

The TIFFs are indexed colour (correction: oddly a mix of indexed and greyscale)... visually the same but I'd prefer greyscale. I hadn't tried the auto options as it wasn't that successful in Photoshop but the one image I tested looked promising with IM. I'll do some further testing across the range ...

Locked myself out by changing my email.... back now :) Yes, I should have been brief.
