Add "comment information" to images

[Albireo]

Hello!

It's easy to remove "profile and comment information" from the images.
But if I want to add some information.
(rounded corner, soft edge, some text or something)

It's possible?

don't really understand what you want! what does adding round corners to an image have to do with comments.

for adding comments, see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... hp#comment

for adding text onto an image see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/text/

If you are talking about EXIF data etc. I do not think you can add or modify it, only delete it.

Thanks for the tip!

I don't know how to use this "-comment"
How can I put the comment in the images?
(I've tried to just put the "-comment" in a convert command, but failed.
I have also searched for examples of "command" but have not found.)
and
How can I read the comment?

Usage:
If there are a variety of images in a directory
and all are treated different, sometimes it would be good to know how the image is modified.

This could be solved by giving the picture a long descriptive name
(but I think it's hard to handle long file names)

I had forgotten about -comment

I have tried adding a comment to a jpg, miff & png. I do not get any errors but I am unable to find the comment; I have tried a hex viewer, EXIF tool. Was it added ?

This way to retrieve your comments:

Code: Select all

identify -verbose commentedPciture.png |grep comment

When you say you want to add a comment to the image, does that mean having the text in a meta data comment field or imbedded into the image pixel data so it can be read when viewing the image. If the latter, do you want to add it in the image or below the image. Please be more specific.

To add textual information in the comment field,

Code: Select all

convert image -set comment "sometext" image

To retrieve text in the command field,

Code: Select all

convert image -format "%c" info:
