How to place image directly to the center?

[imanasya]

This imagemagic code crops 2 pixels then crops same color borders and then scales and places images to the center:

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
 
for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=:" %%x in ('magick 0.jpg -crop +2+2+2+2 -fuzz 2%% -trim +repage -format %%w:%%h +write info: NULL:') do set /a "w1=%%x,h1=%%y"
for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=:" %%x in ('magick 1.jpg -crop +2+2+2+2 -fuzz 2%% -trim +repage -format %%w:%%h +write info: NULL:') do set /a "w2=%%x,h2=%%y"
 
if !w1! LSS !h1! (if !w2! LSS !h2! (call :#y) else (call :#n)) else (call :#n)
exit
 
:#y
 magick 0.jpg -crop +2+2+2+2 -fuzz 2%% -trim +repage -quality 100 combined.jpg
exit /b
 
:#n
 magick 0.jpg 1.jpg -crop +2+2+2+2 -fuzz 2%% -trim +repage -set option:dim "%%[fx:max(max(u.w,v.w),max(u.h,v.h))]" -filter Catrom -resize "%%[dim]x%%[dim]" -unsharp 0x1+0.5+0.05 -background white -gravity center -append -quality 100 combined.jpg
exit /b

But I found that it places the image a few pixels to the right from the center. How can I fix this?

"-crop +2+2+2+2" is not valid IM syntax, although IM does accept it. It doesn't do the same as "-crop 2x2+2+2". What do you want it to do?

I suggest you use valid syntax.

Thank you, snibgo. But I don't know the valid syntax. I have read the manual but didn't find how to cut off 2 pixels from each side. Do you know how to do that?

[snibgo]

To shave 2 pixels from all sides, use "-shave 2x2".

That page also gives the correct syntax for "-crop".

Unfortunately the top image is still not in the center.

Red image is slightly moved to the right.

[snibgo]

It seems to work fine, but I don't know what you intend. Set a different background colour to understand what is happening. Perhaps you intend the two images to be the same size. If so, you need "!" in the resize. See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... p#geometry

[imanasya]

It seems to work fine, but I don't know what you intend.

It's clearly visible here. Take a look at upper red image. It is not in the center, it moved a few pixels to the right from the center. Left white column is is a few pixels wider than right white column. I'd like to get both left and right white columns the same sizes:

[snibgo]

[The upper red image...] Left white column is is a few pixels wider than right white column.

Yes, because the left side starts off with a few columns of roughly white pixels. If you intend to trim them off, use a larger fuzz.

Incidentally, where did these images come from? JPG is a very bad format for graphics like this.

[imanasya]

If you intend to trim them off, use a larger fuzz.

Why?
2% * 256 = 5
It means that trim should cut off pixels in the range 250-255. That is left column 5 pixels wide. Check the image 0 in this topic above, you won't find pixels darker than 250 in the left white column (5 pixels).
