Re: Converting EPS to GIF, loosing Transparency

Text still does not look good. This is where I'm at right now.

convert -colorspace sRGB -density 960 -units PixelsPerInch "image.eps" -resize 10%% -weight Bolder -background none -flatten "image.gif"

Any suggestions?

Re: Converting EPS to GIF, loosing Transparency

GIF is required output.

Is there a way to improve text output; it really is quite awful. If I flatten the image, text gets sharp but I lose transparency and my transparent background from the EPS turns white in the GIF.

Suggestions?

Re: Converting EPS to GIF, loosing Transparency

Wow, I tried so many combos. I know you rendered a png, but gif works with this as well. Thanks!

Hangs and errors

I have some questions. I've never had ImageMagick hang on me. Is it possible or will it just time out. Is there a way to control its behaviour? What is the best way to grab errors? Are there a list of errors? I'm looking for reasons for failure to generate a "convert" file. Is there a resource (or ...

Re: Trying to match output

I had used:

convert myinput.eps hald:8 hald_8.png

It generated 2 files. hald_8-0.png and hald_8-1.png. What am I supposed to do with these files?

Sorry for my ignorance!

Re: Trying to match output

The best way to match is to avoid the scaling (or blurring, etc) until the end so you have all the color operations first. Then create a PNG HALD:8 image in IM. Take the hald image to PS and process it with your same PS processing, except for any scaling or blurring or sharpening (things that are ...

Trying to match output

I'm trying to match output from photoshop. I'm told an image from IM is too orange (too bright). I can't seem to tone down the color without affecting other colors, example if I play with contrast to tone down the bright orange, it tones down the blues. Any ideas? convert -density 960 -units ...
