operations order and resize

[ridera]

Seems like it would be best to apply filters, etc AFTER resizing rather then before.

Yet, I can't something like this to work

Code: Select all

exec("$convert $tmp_fp_file -colors 256 -quality 75 -resize 800x900 -filter Mitchell -unsharp 2x1.0  $png_saved_fpfile");

If I put filter and/or unsharp after resize, it fails. If they are before resize it works.

Thanks

The -filter option is a setting not an operator. It is required before the -resize option.

I assumed that filter was a transform [operator] that processed the image, just like unsharp.

Would be nice it the documentation stated the type for each command.

We agree-- oh wait we've already done that, RTFM: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... hp#setting

Would be helpful if the category was shown on the command line, i.e.,

–colors value [setting]

Incidently, resize is missing from the list.

On my system, -unsharp does not work following -resize.

Agreed. Grab the source to the command line option web page, make your edits, and post the updates here and we will get it into the main ImageMagick web site. ImageMagick is a community project and depends on users like yourself to improve the project.

It works, you may not be using the right radius, sigma, amount, and threshold to give you a desired result. Try resizing and then resize followed by -unsharp. Compare the two images with the compare program and the difference image highlights which pixels were modified by the -unsharp option.

I'll add the the categories in a week or two; right now I'm heavy into a project.


The reason I believe it doesn't work is that I can simply copy
"-unsharp 2x1.0" [without quotes]

and move it back and forth from before resize and after resize.

It always works before and not after -resize 980x900.
