cutting from middle of image then joining the rest

[manit]

Suppose image is divided into 3 horizontal parts - top , middle and bottom .
My purpose is to cut the middle and then join the top to bottom .
Is there a better way then saving top and bottom separately then joining them ?

Thanks.

How about "-chop"? See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... s.php#chop

that should work.

I will try it and report back if I get stuck .

Thanks.
