trim & make transparent (region)

[Lars-Daniel]

Hi there,

I want to trim an image by a fuzzy border color (white to gray) and make the old border transparent. Works fine with this:

Code: Select all

convert -fuzz 50% -trim input.png -background transparent -flatten output.png

Now I'd like to take 10% from "-gravity north" and also want to turn the white color to transparent. Actually, this doesn't work, since region is buggy in v7: https://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-s ... =3&t=32212

Is it possible to cut out 10% from the top, make it transparent and replace the part of the original image? I wasn't able to replace it, I was only able to overlay it ... but of course, this doesn't work

Example image (the part aboth the map "Field Papers" should be turned to transparent): http://imgur.com/a/1FG7T

Best,
Lars-Daniel

Please always provide your IM version and platform, since syntax differs. Do you want to trim first and then cut out 10% from the top and make white transparent. I am confused. Please list the exact steps you want.

Your syntax is not truly proper though IM 6 is forgiving. You should read your input first, then settings, then operators, then the output:

Code: Select all

convert input.png -fuzz 50% -trim +repage -background transparent -flatten output.png

If you just want to replace the top 10% with transparency (chop 10% off and splice 10% transparent back), then try (Unix syntax for IM 6).

IM 6

Code: Select all

chopamt=`convert input.jpg -format "%[fx:0.1*h]" info:`
convert input.jpg -gravity north -chop 0x$chopamt -background none -splice 0x$chopamt result.png

IM 7

Code: Select all

magick input.jpg -set option:chopamt "%[fx:0.1*h]" -gravity north -chop "0x%[chopamt]" -background none -splice "0x%[chopamt]" result.png

If that is not what you want, please clarify further

Sorry, didn't know the syntax changed. Thanks for the hint, I'll read into that.[/quote]

convert input.png -fuzz 50% -trim +repage -background transparent -flatten output.png[/code]

I don't want to repage (see below), but I'll try to implement your other parts.

If that is not what you want, please clarify further

Actually, that's what I want. All the red colored part should be transparent: http://imgur.com/a/r5DPC

You can do this to change the pink to transparent.

Code: Select all

convert input.png -fuzz 10% -fill none -draw "matte 10,10 floodfill" result1.png

There are some red lines left. So for that you would likely need to shave or chop off those parts of the image.

Sorry, this gives me:

convert: NonconformingDrawingPrimitiveDefinition `matte' @ error/draw.c/DrawImage/3269.

On IM 7, there are changes. That is why it is always a good idea to identify your IM version and platform. Try

Code: Select all

magick input.png -fuzz 10% -fill none -draw "alpha 10,10 floodfill" result.png
