Hope somebody can help me out on something
I have 2 folders that have images.
folder 1 has 496 x 720 images
folder 2 has the 1280 x 720 images
so i used -gravity west -composite on 1 named image and it works but how do i automate it without using names of that image?

I want every image off folder 2 to get the image from folder 1 making the new image in folder 2.

Hope somebody can help me out on this

EXAMPLE:

Code: Select all

convert.exe pictures/folder2/8738843.jpg pictures/folder1/8738843[LEFTSIDE].png -gravity west -composite 8738843.jpg

I think you need to use full paths from c:\ and use backslashes (unless you are using cygwin-like unix). I am not a windows user, so any Windows expert, please correct me.

P.S. there is no such thing as [LEFTSIDE] in IM. You will need to find the [WidthxHeight+xoffset+yoffset]
see selecting an image region at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... essing.php
or
-crop at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... s.php#crop
or http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/crop/#crop_repage

hey thnx for the reply but im using windows
&[LEFSIDE].png is the name off the imagefile and when using gravity west the image is the way i want it.
I only need it for more images really.
so something recursive but how? & keeping the name.jpg

sorry i am not a Windows user

thats a shame but how will i go about it on unix?

you will need to write a loop over each image name found in both folders and composite them together into one or the other folder or even a different folder. The unix command will not look anything like what you do in DOS, so perhaps some Windows user can come to your rescue.

I had a go at batch files last year but have basicly forgotten most of it as I only use a simple file myself.

This may help you out:

Code: Select all

::Modify a whole directory of images
::Read a directory and modify all jpg images

::Turn of displaying the code on the screen
@echo off

:: Read all the jpg images from the directory, resize them, add some text and save as a png in a different directory
for %%f in (%1\*.jpg) do ( convert %%f -resize 200x200 -pointsize 18 -fill black ^
-gravity northwest -annotate +0+0 "Some text" "%2\%%~nf.png" )

::This batch file was named resize.bat and called using "resize path\to\original\ path\to\save"

Some other examples: http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/imagemagick/batch.php

You should be able to make your batch file from the examples here.

Big Thnxx but then my newbie side will pop up.

I dont need any risizing so i can remove the parts?

Am i In the right direction?

Code: Select all

::Modify a whole directory of images
::Read a directory and modify all jpg images

::Turn of displaying the code on the screen
@echo off

:: Read all the jpg images from the directory, resize them, add some text and save as a png in a different directory
for %%f in (%1\*.jpg) do -gravity west -annotate +0+0 "" "%2\%%~nf.png" )

::This batch file was named resize.bat and called using "resize path\to\original\ path\to\save"

let me say it different.

i get the gravity part but cant get the right directories & where i put it on you're example.

::pictures/folder2/8738843.jpg
::pictures/folder1/8738843[LEFTSIDE].png

-gravity west -composite 8738843.jpg

but need to add a bat file on folder1 & folder 2?
hope you can help me out because doing this manual will take like forever

Yes you can change the convert part to what you want.

From memory to run my example posted you need to:

Name the file resize.bat and save it on your desktop
Find the path to the images to modify e.g. C:\Users\Anthony\Pictures
Find the path to save to e.g. C:\Users\Anthony\Pictures\modified
Open up the comand prompt and input: resize C:\Users\Anthony\Pictures C:\Users\Anthony\Pictures\modified

The last example on my site is anotherway of doing it but you need to setup some paths etc. in the bat file.

I have just tried this code and there seems to be some problems. For a start the convert is missing and it will not run on Vista.
I am afraid that I do not have time to look into it at the moment.

I got this but it gives a error

convert:missing an image filename

Code: Select all

for %%f in (pictures\folder2\%1\*.jpg) do (convert %%f ^
-gravity west -composite -annotate +0+0 "" "pictures\folder1\%2\%%~nf[LEFTSIDE].png" )

PAUSE

it scans...
so one step closer but it needs to replace the folder2 images but convert:missing an image filename are some off the errors i get

Try this:

Code: Select all

::Modify a whole directory of images
::This assumes that you are in the directory pictures\folder2 so you only have to specify the
:: path to folder1. The result will be in folder2. 
:: Name this batch file as resize.bat and call it using "resize path\to\folder1"
:: For example, if you are in folder2 you could use "resize ..\folder1"

::Turn off displaying the code on the screen
@echo off
for %%f in (*.jpg) do ( convert "%%f"  "%1\%%~nf[LEFTSIDE].png" -gravity west -composite "%%~nf.png" )
