Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi,

I installed the image magick version ImageMagick-6.3.7-2-Q16-windows-dll.exe

i want to montage two jpg`s with a batch. The command line is: montage pic1 pic2 result.jpg

The only result i get is a dosbox and the command line loops as long i stop the dosbox.
What`s wrong? Can anybody help me?

Thanks a lot

Are pic1 and pic2 generic names for the files or are they the actual file names? If the latter, then perhaps you need to append the actual suffix for IM to know what type of input images they are (.e.g. .jpg, .png, etc).

You also likely need to tell montage what format you want the two image montaged -- as a row or as a column.

Use -tile x1 for one row and -tile 1x for one column.

See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/

Thank you for your answer!

the exact command is: montage pic1.jpg pic2.jpg result.jpg

I tried the -tile command - unfortunately with the same result.

any Idea?

Is it possible, that i have to install some (sorry i dont know how to say) plugins etc?

Thank you

No plugins. See IM examples, Montage

We tested your command and it works fine for us under Linux / Windows. Try adding -debug trace,all to your command line and post the last 50 lines of the output here so we can trace the problem.
