Hi glennrp,

yes, that did it! Puh... I'm glad. Now my images are only about 1/3 of the original size. This is much more 'realistic'.

I do not really understand what happens. Anyway, many thanks for your solution!!!

Thank you for your help. I think 8-bit is not appropriate since in.png is a photo. Also the round border should be smooth. At least it shouldn't be gif-quality. (Sorry, I don't know the terms, but is it the alpha channel that is required?) What is interesting: I have opened the created out.pnp in ...

Hi, I have a convert command that produces a png file which is too big for my purposes. I get files with more than 200 kb but it should be less than 50 kb, if this is possible. How do I have to modify the parameters? What can I do? The quality of the image should be as close as possible to the ...

:D Now it's working! :D I was told that there is a newer version in /usr/bin/im_6.6. With this version it works. Thank you both for your help.

My solution worked locally on Windows fine but on the Linux server I've got a problem with '-alpha Set'. This creates an error as it seems. Version on the server is 6.2.4 Q16 ...

With these commands I have had already sucess: convert -size 500x375 xc:black -fill white -draw "circle 250,187 250,1" circle.png composite -compose Dst_In -gravity center circle.png someimage.jpg -alpha Set result.png This image was of size 500x375. To let PHP calculate the positioning shouldn't be ...

The processing will be started with PHP, but with a direct command line call not with Imagick-API.

IM itselsf is not able to do some calculations for this? Though, it is no problem to this with PHP.

Hi, I'm a totally new to IM. So I'd be glad if anyone can help me a bit with this. My task is to create round images from rectangular ones. E.g. from a 400x300 pixel image I need the round section with the middle point of the rectangle image is the middlepoint of the disk. I think this can only be ...
