Convert: missing an image filename ...

Post by dmorti »

Hi,

I'm trying to generate a simple mosaic using convert:
convert image1.jpg -page +100+0 image2.jpg -mosaic image3.jpg

However, I get the error:
convert: missing an image filename `image3.jpg' @ convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2800.

According to convert -list configure, I have the jpeg delegate installed.

Furthermore, I get the same error just trying to change image formats using convert:
convert image1.jpg image3.tif

(I also have the tif delegate installed)

I'm using ImageMagick 6.5.4-7 2009-08-02 Q16 on Mac OSX 10.5.8

Any help would be much appreciated.

sounds like some kind of installation issue. did you install from source or binary?

Could the file actually be a JP2000 format? if so you need the jasper delegate library.

Post a link to your jpg file and other can see if there is some issue.

What was the exact and full error message?

Could it be a permission problem on the files or folder in which the files exist?
