Trim/crop by alpha

[WexOneOne]

Hello all.

I have a few images(EXR) that have alpha on them, I wish to trim the image by the alpha, if possible with padding of 10px from every side of the trim.
I'm not sure I found the correct way to do so... does anyone have an idea?

Looking to make this image:

Code: Select all

|--------------------------------------|
|                                      |
|                                      |
|  image with alpha here               |
|                                      |
|                                      |
|--------------------------------------|

to:

Code: Select all

|---------------------|
|   HAD alpha here    |
|---------------------|

Any help will do.

Thank you.

What version of IM on what platform?

Extract the alpha to a grayscale image, then "-format %@" gives you what the trim dimensions would be. Read these into a script and do whatever adjustment you want, and use that in a "-crop".

Or it can be done in a single v7 command. Or even v6, but that is messy.

Yes, of course I'll forget to put the important info here.....
Version: ImageMagick 7.0.7-15 Q16 x86_64 2017-12-21
OS: Linux CentOS7

I'll admit, the one liner sounds like what I need/want.

To be clear, by what you wrote, I'll need to extract the alpha to a new gray-scale image and crop that new image?

I've re-read what you asked for, and perhaps I misunderstand. How about:

Code: Select all

magick in.exr -trim +repage -gravity center -bordercolor none -border 10 out.png

Does that do what you want?

EDIT: corrected to "+repage" instead of "-repage".

[WexOneOne]

That looks like it might work, now why I say "might" you ask.. well, now I see that our IM might be installed incorrectly...

I run this command, which looks so pretty and probably what I do need... however, the result is:

Code: Select all

magick: UnableToOpenConfigureFile `magic.xml' @ warning/configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/714.
magick: UnableToOpenConfigureFile `delegates.xml' @ warning/configure.c/GetConfigureOptions/714.
magick: NoDecodeDelegateForThisImageFormat `EXR' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/509.

However, when I run a search for those XML files, in the parent folder of the installation:

Code: Select all

find . -name "*.xml"

I get:

Code: Select all

So.. yeah, I think something is wrong...
Does IM has a command to check if the current session finds the right XML?
Could it be that we will just need to replace this guy:

Code: Select all

magick: NoDecodeDelegateForThisImageFormat `EXR' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/509.

I mean... could this all be just a read error?
Our Delegate xml is wrong/old? re-installation is needed?

Okay, last thing... via Python, I guess it will be something like....:

Code: Select all

import OpenImageIO as oiio
source = oiio.ImageBuf(filepath)
output = '/../../output.png
... no idea...need to check DOCs :)

wow, I really dont know where to go from here, dang it, so close :/
Thank you so much for looking on this with me.

[fmw42]

Can you post a real image that you need to be cropped?

[snibgo]

Does "magick" work at all? How about:

Code: Select all

magick -version
magick rose: x.png
magick x.png x.jpg

If those don't work, you need to reinstall IM and/or delegates.

If they do work, can you read EXR files?

Code: Select all

magick in.exr NULL:

[fmw42]

EXR requires the OpenEXR delegate library. See http://www.openexr.com

[WexOneOne]

Of course,
Image is here
Thank you.

-version works:

This doesn't have OpenEXR, so your IM can't read EXR.

I suggest you install OpenEXR, then rebuild IM.

My corrected command (see my edit above) gives:

[WexOneOne]

Ok, so, once we fix the OpenEXR thingy, the command:

Code: Select all

magick in.exr -trim +repage -gravity center -bordercolor none -border 10 out.png

is what I'm looking for!
That is great, hopefully we can fix this this week.

Thank you so much !!

[fmw42]

magick x.png x.jpg Fails:

That is odd, since you do have both PNG and JPG installed in your delegates.

[WexOneOne]

In the next few days we will do a full install of IM again and see how it goes after.
I'll update.

[WexOneOne]

Okay, so....
I installed IM.
All rose tests work.
The only thing is, it still does not read EXR.

Code: Select all

magick withAlpha.exr -trim +repage -gravity center -bordercolor none -border 10 out.png

Error:

Code: Select all

magick: no decode delegate for this image format `EXR' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/556.

we are down to one error message though, thats better
I'm guessing like it was said before here, I need to grab that XML from OpenEXR.
OR do I need to install OpenEXR and Re-install IM ?!
