cropping using ImageMagick in OpenText DAM

[cspearman]

We are using ImageMagick as the image processor for downloading images out of OpenText DAM and wondering if any one has extensive experience with this.

We are successful with asking for and getting multiple formats like tif, jpeg, png etc as well as smaller size files etc. However, our biggest business need is to enable downloaders to custom crop images to their own needs. For instance, our master psd images exist at 3000pxx3000px but we have vendors that need them not reduced but cropped to 1768x2160.

Has anyone achieved any thing like this before that I could use as a case study. Also, if there is programmer that reads this and has experience with this let me know. We will likely be looking for contract help to do this if its possible.

thanks

Post an example of OpenText DAM document to some place such as dropbox.com, so we can see if Imagemagick will read it in as an image. Imagemagick can then easily crop the image using -crop WxH+X+Y. It is command line driven so no GUI and you have to get the coordinates of where you want to crop. Otherwise, you will need some other tool that can simply extract any imbedded image from the document. Sorry I am not familiar with OpenText documents.

What is your Imagemagick version and platform?
