Re: make every nth pixel transparent

I have to use reflection software on an ancient pc to connect to a redhat 6.9 server running IM 6.7.2-7 it grinds to a halt when trying to render the image at 2x2 (and 3x3 too), and eventually crashes due to "lack of resources". Anyway, at least I can convey the point I was looking for. Thank you ...

Re: make every nth pixel transparent

Thank you for the detailed reply, I will follow-up on reading the examples. I played with varying the size of the tile, going from 50x50 to 25x25 to 12x12, etc and got the desired effect of showing more of the image each time the tile size was reduced. I ran into a problem however when I tried to do ...

Re: make every nth pixel transparent

Re: make every nth pixel transparent

Here is a sample I made using a script to daisy-chain the above convert line one conversion at a time - yes, technically it works - but a terrible solution and very slow as n gets smaller. In this case I made a region of 3x3 pixels transparent, every 20th pixel. The mask is sitting over a colorized ...

make every nth pixel transparent

I have a simple white box and I am essentially trying to create a mask where every nth pixel (in x and y) is made transparent. Basically, I want to lay the mask over images and demonstrate the impact of higher resolutions by varying "n". As a newbie, I found that I could: convert image.png -alpha ...
