Re: PNG file grows dramatically when image size reduced

Somebody I know was having the same problem with from memory the Serif gallery. I think the problem is down to the amount of colours ? I have just done a test: Original image Colors: 44713 Rendering intent: Undefined Resolution: 72x72 Units: PixelsPerInch Filesize: 194.854kb Resized png Colors: 7408...

Re: convert and resize error

I have tried your code with relative paths and it seemed to work OK. Your code is very complicated for what you are doing - loading variables into variables etc. There are some samples of how I do it here http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/imagemagick/code.php These examples could probably be shorter now s...

Re: Transparent PNG overlay onto colored background.

You could try this:

Code: Select all

composite -gravity center aa2001a.png  -size 450x400 xc:red tshirt1.jpg
I always tend to use convert as I can do everything I want to with it.

Thats interesting Pete; I have the latest version on my PC where I am trying this.

Re: Transparent PNG overlay onto colored background.

This will work the only thing is you need to ensure the -size is ok everytime:

Code: Select all

convert -size 450x400 xc:red aa2001a.png -composite tshirt.jpg

Re: Allowable File Types

As far as I know of .psd and .tiff are not normaly supported by the browsers anyway.

I would say there is still something in your forum software stopping the images. You do not say if the problem is they are not being converted or just not being displayed.

Re: transparent background for text image

Yes I should have myself clearer, IE 6 and below have problems with png transparency. As well as a java script way around the problem that never worked properly for me there is a mircorsft method but I can not remember the details now.
png transparency seems OK in IE 7.

Re: Computer Use of Image Magic

The basic use is you input the command and the image is saved to the folder. One of the problems is you have to navigate to the folder with the image. To save a jpg as a gif you would use convert image.jpg image.gif To resize an image you would use convert image.jpg -resize 100x100 resized.jpg I wou...

Re: PHP Uploading & Converting Help Needed.

I can not understand classes; if you wanted to do it without using a class I could probably help.

I have some code examples here: http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/imagemagick/code.php

Re: Computer Use of Image Magic

Put convert -version and press enter. You should get some text telling you that IM is installed and what version it is.

Re: Computer Use of Image Magic

That is a special program interface. IM works by inputting comands either into a command line or program. The fonts you can use are only the ones regestered in IM. I think you will have a lot to learn :shock: To input convert -version you have to go Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt...

Re: Computer Use of Image Magic

So you have downloaded and run the exe file which should have installed IM. I have only used it in the "Comand prompt" screen. Go there and copy and paste this at the end of the last line convert -version which should prove IM is installed and working. Some instructions I gave someone else...

Re: transparent background for text image

This works for me:

Code: Select all

convert -background transparent -fill #b02b2c -font Arial -pointsize 80 label:"Sample Text Image" normal_lbl.png
If you are using IE 6 transparency is not fully supported.

Re: Exact Average Color of an Image

A couple of thoughts: 1/ With ImageMagick you can get image details all or selected; could you use these ? Channel statistics: Red: Min: 0 (0) Max: 255 (1) Mean: 129.429 (0.507566) Standard deviation: 66.6698 (0.26145) Green: Min: 0 (0) Max: 255 (1) Mean: 92.4053 (0.362374) Standard deviation: 47.28...
