Image Magick Installation

[hlr742]

I have ImageMagick-7.0.5-4-Q16-x86-dll.exe installed, now I need to know what to click on to get to the main screen, I guess is what you would call it, when this installs and I click on it, it just opens to all the files that were installed with it......





Please!!!!!! I need help.......I don't know if I am posting this in the correct place, if not I apologize, I am new to the community.

I am trying to install Image Magick on my computer and apparently I am not finding the right url to install or I have and am not doing something correctly.

I have Windows 10, 32 bit operating system.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!!

I have moved this post to the User's forum for help from the community. Sorry I do not use Windows, but the simplest way to install IM is from binary. You can choose the binary install for your system 32 bit at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar ... hp#windows. My guess is that it would be

ImageMagick-7.0.5-4-Q16-x86-dll.exe Win32 dynamic at 16 bits-per-pixel component

So https://www.imagemagick.org/download/bi ... 86-dll.exe

But perhaps one of the Windows users should correct me if I am wrong.

I think it depends upon whether you need a static or dynamic or portable install. Q16 is the nominal install.

If you do not need anything special, I suspect it would be the dynamic install.

Once you get your install working, see

So, you have downloaded and run ImageMagick-7.0.5-4-Q16-x86-dll.exe? This asked you various questions, like what directory you wanted to install to.

... now I need to know what to click on to get to the main screen,

There is no "main screen". IM isn't a point-and-click program. It is mostly driven by commands that you type at the command prompt, or from scripts and so on. For example:

Code: Select all

magick logo: myfile.png

This should create a file called myfile.png that contains an image.

http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/ is a good place to start learning what IM can do. However, instead of "convert" you should type "magick".

Thank you...I think that I liked the program better the way it used to be. All I want to do is convert a file to a .jpg.....

Thank you again for your time. I may have to ask you for some assistance later on.
