Montage extremely slow

[refsvik]

Using 6.7.6-0 version of Imagemagick montage on my latest gen MBP with the latest OS, I am trying to annotate my name into the corner of a png file:

$mogrify -gravity southeast -fill white -pointsize 30 -annotate +15+10 'Kjell Are Refsvik' square6.png

The png-file is 600x600 pixels and this command takes over a minute to complete on my machine and seems way out of order.

1. What am I not doing right here?
2. Are there other effective ways of annotating the photographers name in corner of an image?

Sincerely,

Kjell Are

Montage?

try convert rather than mogrify. mogrify works on a directory of images and produces one output for each input. convert works on one image and outputs one image.

convert square6.png -gravity southeast -fill white -pointsize 30 -annotate +15+10 'Kjell Are Refsvik' square6_result.png

For the many ways of annotating images see IM examples, Image Annotation

The area you want is in Labeling on top of the Image itself...
