Lightroom export and ImageMagick thumbnail

[simonso]

Hi,

I am just wondering if it is possible to create a "flatten" thumbnail of a Lightroom modified image (JPEG/TIFF) via ImageMagick.

i.e.
I have an image where all the Lightroom develop settings are imbedded as metadata (when I drop that image into Lightroom, you can see the changes). Now I want this file to remind as it is but I need to create a flatten thumbnail from this image with all the develop settings "applied" to it for display purposes.

Is there any ways for me to do this?


Thanks
Simon

Not sure I understand! Do you want IM to apply all the lightroom settings to the image to modify it and then create a thumbnail? If so, as far as I know, IM knows nothing about the lightroom settings and values. You would have to extract them from the meta data and figure out what IM commands do the same things and what changes in settings there are between how lightroom processed the data and how IM would process the data. There is no automatic reading and processing of lightroom values. Perhaps I misunderstand. Perhaps it would be a good idea to post a link to the image so that we can see your meta data. And explain in a bit more detail exactly what you are trying to do.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Yeah... I am afraid that is exactly what I meant. Thanks for the answer.

Might have to do another approach.

Would you happen to know if somebody has tried this?

Wonder how much of a job would it be to manually convert settings with IM.

Thanks

It would help to have an example image with your meta data included. You can post to some free image hosting service and then link here
