I found a clumsy solution:

If namestr is empty, I leave namestr1 = "-pointsize 80 -draw" and let
namestr2 empty. Then, your code leads to the execution:
which works perfectly.

Yes, you are right.

@snibgo This is quite correct, but it does not solve my problem. I gave a minimal example. In some cases, $namestr is empty, and then, your code leads to the execution: convert a.tif "" b.tif which does not work. The quote-symbols " should be part of the string. Best regards, Daniel

Hallo, I created a minimal example: #!/bin/tcsh set gf = \" set namestr = "-pointsize 80 -draw $gf gravity NorthWest fill black text 0,12 a $gf" echo $namestr convert a.tif $namestr b.tif The script produces error messages: -pointsize 80 -draw " gravity NorthWest fill black text 0,12 a " convert ...

I made some research. I think it is possible using "identify -verbose filename | grep something" ,
but I am to tired, now.

Hallo, I want to write a tcsh-script (for cygwin) which explores a directory-tree and compresses each tif in the tree using zip compression. I can write such a script but there is one problem: For efficency, the script should skip zip-compressed files, i.e., I need a method to check whether some tif ...

fmw42's idea did not work.

As snibgo wrote, IM seems to ignore these filters.

I made some experiments and the answer is NO!

Hallo,

how reliable is a converation like
Usually, m.psd is a complex document using several layers and smart filters.
Is the result m.tif the same as whether I export m.psd in Photoshop
to a single layer tif?

Daniel

Thank you very much.

I decided to use fmw42's unix-syntax script, because it was easy to include it into an
existing tcsh-script. I already used it in instagram:

I would prefer a tcsh script (cygwin).

Hallo, I am looking for a simple solution: The input image has a portrait aspect, i.e. the heigth is larger than the width. I want to crop stripes from the left and the right side of the input image, then I want to blur the stripes and montage the stripes left and right to the input image. The ...

I found a workaround: xcf2pnm is a part of the xcftools package.

I tried:
and
The image became even darker.

Using sRGB instead of RGB produced the same result as before.
