Hi,
I am trying to convert a image from 500X280 (16:9) to a specific box size of 377x248. I am using the resize and crop methodlogy and below is my command.
But the resultant images has the dimensions 248x139. I thought the idea of the above command to deal with aspect change and I saw the same things from Fred's script also.

Am I missing something ? Thanks a lot for your reply

PS: I am running on windows XP with ImageMagic 6.5.1-4 (Latest I think)

I would leave out the width in your case so -resize 248x248^ becomes -resize x248
Either way you need to escape the ^ with another ^ so it would be -resize 248x248^^
See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/api/

Try:

try either

convert rose_tmp1.png -resize 248x248\^ -gravity center -crop 377x248+0+0 +repage rose_tmp2.png

or

convert rose_tmp1.png -resize '248x248^' -gravity center -crop 377x248+0+0 +repage rose_tmp2.png


If on windows: you must escape the ^ with another ^ rather than a \

Wow, Thanks a lot for your quick reply. That worked as a charm
