Unable to convert an image

Post by gjayakrishnan »

Hi,

I just downloaded and installed ImageMagick-6.4.6-6-Q16-windows-static.exe

Then i copied Sunset.jpg to C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.4.6-Q16 folder and tried to convert the file into png format using the following command line option...

convert Sunset.jpg Sunset.png

Instead of getting converted, i got the following error message...

convert: missing an image filename `Sunset.png' @ convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2710.

Can anyone help me how to use the convert command

Thanks
Jay

You do not need to put your image into the ImageMagick folder; take a look at this page: http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/imagemagick ... indows.php
