So you have downloaded and run the exe file which should have installed IM. I have only used it in the "Comand prompt" screen.

Go there and copy and paste this at the end of the last line

Code: Select all

convert -version

which should prove IM is installed and working.

Some instructions I gave someone else http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/TESTS/kostina.php - They were putting there images into the same folder as IM. You need to replace the folder with the path to your images.

Would that Let Me use http://magick.net4tv.com/MagickStudio/s ... Studio.cgi
I like This on Cause It has Thousands of Fonts

Where do I Put "Covert Version"? Please Help Im New to A lot of Computer stuff.

Im already Having Security Troubles ?

That is a special program interface. IM works by inputting comands either into a command line or program. The fonts you can use are only the ones regestered in IM.

I think you will have a lot to learn

To input convert -version you have to go Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt. You must input the code exactly as written . convert -version will work but convert version will not work.

I do have a lot To Lean
Now That I Put Coversion in the Command Prompt What Next

Please otherwise Ill use the One WEBTV uses that IM does Not want

[Bonzo]

Put convert -version and press enter. You should get some text telling you that IM is installed and what version it is.

Got It Thanks Its Just Different From What MSN TV uses I got to Figure How to Use It

Thanks

The basic use is you input the command and the image is saved to the folder. One of the problems is you have to navigate to the folder with the image.

To save a jpg as a gif you would use convert image.jpg image.gif To resize an image you would use convert image.jpg -resize 100x100 resized.jpg

I would start off with something easy; put the image into the folder that Command Prompt defaults to and run a convert comand. The new image will be saved in the same folder. Once you get the hang of this you can experiment more.
