mogrify -clone error help

[howtaebatch]

Hi all,

(Running windows 10, cmd line, Win32 dynamic at 16 bits-per-pixel component, ImageMagick-7.0.7-22-Q16-x86-dll.exe)

The following code works but I'm trying (with little success) to run it through multiple files.

magick "filepath.jpg"^
( -clone 0 -crop 485x181+847+969 -resize 485x181! -repage 490x362+0+0 )^
( -clone 0 -crop 485x111x2307+1574 -resize 485x111! -repage 490x362+0+181 )^
-delete 0 -flatten output.jpg

Research suggests that mogrify doesn't work with -clone? Apparently a windows batch for loop is my best bet but I have little experience and would greatly appreciate any suggestions or guidance?

Cheers!

I do not think you can use mogrify with parenthesis and clones. You will likely have to write a script loop over each of the images you want to process.

Hi! Thanks for the quick response.

You will likely have to write a script loop over each of the images you want to process.

I need the code to run through hundreds of images all with exactly the same coordinates.
Is there any way to automate this process?

What's the problem? As Fred says, put it in a loop, eg in a BAT script:

Code: Select all

for %%F in (*.jpg) do magick ^
  "%%F" ^
  ( -clone 0 -crop 485x181+847+969 -resize 485x181! -repage 490x362+0+0 ) ^
  ( -clone 0 -crop 485x111x2307+1574 -resize 485x111! -repage 490x362+0+181 ) ^
  -delete 0 -flatten "newdir\%%F"

Hi

Commands don't seem to be executing now? I'm sure that I'm referencing the correct path. Changed the file extension and still no luck.

magick: unable to open image 'C:\Users\Travel\Desktop\ocr_certs\Cert\Mnth1.tiff(': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/3335.
magick: unable to open module file 'C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.7-Q16\modules\coders\IM_MOD_RL_TIFF(_.dll': No such file or directory @ warning/module.c/GetMagickModulePath/675.
magick: no decode delegate for this image format `TIFF(' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/509.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled and rebooted without success.

Thanks.

Is libtif installed. That is does

magick -version

list tiff in the Delegates section

What was your exact command where it failed?

[howtaebatch]

yes tiff is listed in the delegates:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The command is much the same as above (tried with both jpg and tiff formats): my exact command in cmd line (which executed perfectly yesterday):

C:\Users\Travel\Desktop\ocr_certs\Cert>magick "C:\Users\Travel\Desktop\ocr_certs\Cert\Mnth1.tiff"^
More? ( -clone 0 -crop 485x181+847+969 -resize 485x181! -repage 490x362+0+0 )^
More? ( -clone 0 -crop 485x111x2307+1574 -resize 485x111! -repage 490x362+0+181 )^
More? -delete 0 -flatten output.tiff

The response is:

magick: unable to open image 'C:\Users\Travel\Desktop\ocr_certs\Cert\Mnth1.tiff(': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/3335.
magick: unable to open module file 'C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.7-Q16\modules\coders\IM_MOD_RL_TIFF(_.dll': No such file or directory @ warning/module.c/GetMagickModulePath/675.
magick: no decode delegate for this image format `TIFF(' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/509.

Thanks again guys appreciate the responses.

What is "More?" in your command? You need a space before and after parentheses. So the problem is you have )^ and need ) ^.

Try

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Travel\Desktop\ocr_certs\Cert>magick "C:\Users\Travel\Desktop\ocr_certs\Cert\Mnth1.tiff" ^
( -clone 0 -crop 485x181+847+969 -resize 485x181! -repage 490x362+0+0 ) ^
( -clone 0 -crop 485x111x2307+1574 -resize 485x111! -repage 490x362+0+181 ) ^
-delete 0 -flatten output.tiff

[snibgo]

magick: unable to open image 'C:\Users\Travel\Desktop\ocr_certs\Cert\Mnth1.tiff('

You should always read error messages carefully. IM told you it was trying to open a file that had "(" at the end of its name.

The command I showed you had a space before each line-continuation "^" at the end of each line, and also had spaces at the start of each line. You removed all these spaces, and that caused the problem.

Got the command working; Batch file is working too. Thanks for the help guys! Appreciated.
