I'm tying to do something like this code

convert rose: -compose Screen \
\( -clone 0 stars1.gif -composite \) \
\( -clone 0 stars2.gif -composite \) \
\( -clone 0 stars3.gif -composite \) \
-delete 0 -set delay 25 -layers Optimize rose_sparkle.gif


I typed on windows prompt
And I got an error: "convert: missing an image filename 'result.gif'.

So, I'm thinking. How is it possible if result.gif is the output file name?

What is wrong?

Same problem as your other post. You've left out the parentheses. And you also need a colon after "rose" - it must be rose:

I know this is an old thread, but for future readers, another cause can be incorrect registry entries pointing to GhostScript. There is a simple solution that I found and I made it my first blog entry: http://hallsoftech.blogspot.com/2011/07 ... image.html.
