Problems with use with mogrify/lightroom 6

[doginabag]

Hi all.

I have recently upgraded to using lightroom 6. I have always used the mogrify plugin for previous versions and am currently trying to install this no. Being a PC user mogrify required image magic to be installed also.

I have downloaded and installed the latest version with no issue. However within lightroom I am required to specify the path of the mogrify application which should be the mogrify.exe file located within ImageMagick-6.7.9-Q16. However this file does not appear to be included.

I do have an older version of imagemagic that does contain this file, though not being too technically literate with computer I do not know how to install this older version without the installer.

Can anyone advise?

I have downloaded and installed the latest version with no issue.

What is the version number of that version? Is it v6 or v7? If v7, did you tick the installation box to install legacy components (convert, mogrify etc)?

I am using ImageMagick-7.0.4-4-Q16-x64-dll. I hadn't taken notice of that option, so have reinstalled it with that option ticked and all is now working correctly. Thank you for your help!

For your information doginabag Imagemagick uses magick now rather than convert. But if you install the legacy components convert will work as well.

I've been installing IM7 to Windows 10 64 probabaly since the first release, and I haven't seen that option to install legacy components for many upgrade installs. This morning I installed ImageMagick-7.0.4-4-Q16-HDRI-x64-static.exe, and screen-capped each dialog box. No mention of legacy components. Maybe that option is disabled for minor version upgrades if we declined it the first time. I dunno.

When I want to run one of those v6 components, I just add its name after "magick" at the beginning of the command.

Code: Select all

magick mogrify -resize 240x180 *.jpg

That approach nearly always works as expected without any extra tweaking.

Sometimes it is there, and sometimes not. Just like the option to give the installation directory sometimes isn't there. I don't know why.
