HI ALL:

I HAVE HAD A 3 YEAR LEAVE OF ABSENCE DUE TO HOSPITALIZATION.

NOW THAT I AM BACK, I SEE THAT THERE ARE SOME NEW
"EFFECTS" UNDER ALMOST EVERY "FUNCTION"

BEFORE I LEFT, I WAS NOT ABLE TO ALLOCATE
I.M. COMMAND LINE DEFINITIONS AND , HAVING JUST TRIED ONCE MORE, I STILL CANNOT.

WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT FINDING OUT WHAT THE NEW "EFFECTS" DO?

**I SEE YOU ALSO HAVE A NEW FORMAT FOR THE FORUM
WEBTV USER
AM I POSTING IN THE CORRECT PLACE?

THANX AND HAVE A GOOD SUNDAY,
SCARLET

try Anthony's pages at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/ or the options page at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... ptions.php the latter takes a while to load as it is a long page. also check the changelog at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/changelog.php

HIYA FM:

WHEN I GO TO THE FIRST URL,,,(I HAVE HAD THAT ONE FOR YEARS) I THEN CLICK ON "COMMAND LINE OPTIONS" IN ORDER TO READ WHAT EACH ONE SAYS INDIVIDUALLY.
I GET THAT FAR. THEN WHEN I CLICK ON A SINGLE ONE
IE. "DISTORT" I GET LOCKED OUT AND KNOCKED OFFLINE.

WHEN I TRY TO USE THE SECOND LINK YOU POSTED
I GET "PAGE TOO LONG TO BE SEEN"

WHEN I CLICK ON THE THIRD LINK, I GET DOCUMENTATION
BUT IT IS NOT ANYTHING ABOUT INDIVIDUAL "FUNCTIONS" OR "EFFECTS". IT SEEMS MORE LIKE A MONOLOGUE RE: HOW SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR WORKS BUT NOTHING IS BROKEN DOWN THAT IS RECOGNIZABLE AND THERE ARE NO OTHER LINKS ON THAT PAGE.

AGAIN, I AM ON WEBTV.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS AND THEIR DESCRIPTIONS USED TO BE SO HELPFUL. I ESPECIALLY WANT TO LOOK UP THE NEW "EFFECTS" I AM SEEING IN THE STUDIO.

ANY OTHER IDEAS PLEASE?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

SCARLET

sorry i know little about WebTV. sounds like you need to contact WebTV to complain about the file length limitation.

the alternative is that I could make and email you a PDF of the options page if you want

HIYA FRED:

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME

WEBTV IS YEARS AND YEARS BEHIND RE: BROWSER UPGRADES

I WOULD SAY I CAN ACCESS MAYBE 50% OF WEBSITES

DUMB QUESTION 4 U....

WHAT IS A "PDF" FILE???

I WILL TAKE ANY HELP I CAN GET
I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT SOME OF THESE NEW "EFFECTS" ARE FOR IN IM

IE. I SEE 3-4 NEW ONES IN "TRANSFORM" THAT LOOK INTERESTING

???????? AM CLUELESS

ALSO,,,HOW IS ONE TO KNOW IF AN "EFFECT" IS JUST FOR PUTERS OR ALSO COMPATIBLE FOR WEBTV?

IN THE PAST, I HAVE TRIED APPROPRIATE PARAMETERS
TO FIND OUT
BUT IF I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE,
I AM CLUELESS...

AGAIN THANK YOU, SIR

SCARLET

PDF is Adobe Portable Document File. see http://get.adobe.com/reader/ I am not sure if it is compatible with WebTV. I cannot say what new features of IM are compatible with WebTV. Do you run from some internet web site that has a web gui interface, such as from ImageMagick Studio (http://www.imagemagick.org/MagickStudio ... Studio.cgi)? If so, I don't know what has been updated in that with respect to new features. On of the IM developers would have to answer that.

An example PDF can be accessed from my web site at http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/ ... eWarp2.pdf


If you can view this, then perhaps a PDF of the options page might help you.

FRED:

I CLICKED ON YOUR PDF "URL"
AND I GOT "ITEM CONTAINS KIND OF INFORMATION YOU CANNOT USE"

I USE THE IMAGE MAGICK STUDIOS LIKE THE ONE YOU PASTED ON YOUR LAST REPLY AND ARBORHOSTING'S.

NOBODY SEEMS TO BE MAKING ANY NEW TUTORIALS.

I HAVE LOOKED AROUND. I OWN A GROUP IN THE "WEBTV/NG ALT.DISCUSS" COMMUNITY AND NOBODY SEEMS TO BE USING
ANYTHING NEW THAT I CAN SEE.
NOBODY IS POSTING STEPS LIKE THEY USED TO EITHER
SO I WOULD NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE OR ARE NOT.

ALL I KNOW IS THAT WHEN I FINALLY CAME BACK
I SAW NEW "EFFECTS" IN EVERY "FUNCTION" ,, ASKED AROUND AND THE ONLY ANSWERS I GOT IS THAT NOBODY USED THEM

????????

BDIANA USED TO BE VERY ACTIVE THERE.

DIANA,,,,, IF YOU BY CHANCE SEE THIS POST, COULD YOU REPLY?

OR ANYBODY FROM WEBTV????

JUST CURIOUS, FRED....

I ?THOUGHT? COMPUTER USERS USED THE STUDIOS WE DO
WHAT DO YOU USE FOR IMAGE MAGICK?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,
SCARLET

FRED, ANYONE:

HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE NEW "EFFECTS" I WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT

--TRANSFORM/UNIQUE COLORS

--F/X FOURIER TRANSFORM

DO YOU USE THESE SAME THINGS OR ARE WE AT COMPLETELY OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE UNIVERSE???

SCARLET

Scarlet,

I use them a lot but in my scripts and standalone command line work. I doubt that the fourier transform will be available on Magick Studio as it is new and very complex to use. See if you can get to my tutorial at http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/ ... urier.html but that may be too long a page for your WebTV.

FX has been around for a long time, but I doubt it is in Magick Studio as it allows you to create mathematical distortions where you supply the equations. But it runs very slowly.

Unique colors is rather straight forward. But I don't know why you would want to use it. It just lists the unique colors in an image and the image must have relatively few colors or the list gets overloaded.

I used this in my script for colorspectrum, see http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/ ... /index.php if you can get there?

But all my work is using a computer and not WebTV from Magick Studio.

FRED:

YES SIR, WE SURE DO HAVE "F/X"
WITH "EFFECTS" SUCH AS "IMPLODE", "WAVE", "RECOLOR", CHARCOAL DRAWING" , JUST TO NAME A FEW.

I WAS ABLE TO BRING UP YOUR "FOURIER" TUTORIAL
HOWEVER, WHAT IS VERY DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE 2 OF US
ARE THE COMMANDS IN THE GRAY BOXES.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT.

WE HAVE TO DEPEND ON PUTTING OUR PARAMETERS AND KNOWING THEM, AT THE TOP OF EACH FUNCTION, IN THE PARAMETER BOX.

DO YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE ANYTHING ON
"TRANSFORM/UNIQUE COLORS"???

CAN I HAVE THE "URL" FOR YOUR TUTORIAL COLLECTION?

HERE IS MINE. AS YOU WILL SEE IT IS ONLY ACCORDING TO NUMBERS ONE HAS TO FIGURE OUT TO PUT IN THE PARAMETER BOX COINCIDING WIHT THE CHOSEN "EFFECT" IN THAT "FUNCTION"

IT IS REALLY "FROM SCRATCH" KIND OF IMAGING.
HAVE TO KNOW WHAT ONE IS DOING RE: PARAMETERS OR ELSE "EFFECTS" DO NOT WORK
THAT IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR ME TO FIND DOCUMENTATION ON
-WHAT AN "EFFECT" IS FOR
-WHAT PARAMETERS DOES IT REQUIRE
-IS IT FOR PUTER OR WEBTV OR BOTH

MY TUTORIALS::

THAnk YOU AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR TIME,

SCARLET

I have no tutorial on unique colors. In my last reply, I put some information from Anthony's tutorials about that and a link to one of my scripts.

The other tutorials I have are in PDF format, which you cannot apparently use on WebTV.

However, I have one other tidbits page at http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/ ... index.html

The stuff in the gray boxes are the command line commands for processing on a computer. They do not transform well to MagickStudio/WebTV and I don't think any of the FFT stuff is in MagickStudio.

The FX things you mention are really effects and not the IM function FX. Perhaps you only wanted the named effects, so that is fine. My misunderstanding of what you meant by FX.


I have converted the options page to plain text rather than PDF. It is not as easily read, but perhaps your WebTV will let you see that. Try

http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick_ ... s_page.txt

FRED:

LOOKS LIKE YOU WANT TO KEEP ME BUSY, EH? LOLOL
fainttttttt

AS SOON AS I CAN SEE MORE CLEARLY , I WILL READ MORE BUT FYI,,,BOTH TEXTS DID COME UP

THE 2ND ONE, WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT THE ONES IN THE GRAY BOXES= PUTER NOT WEBTV
THE LOWER HALF OF THE WHOLE PAGE IS GRAY
COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME THE TITLE OF WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO?

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, FROM WHAT I COULD MAKE OUT,
IS PRETTY GREEK TO ME
BUT I WILL TRY...

I am not sure which link you are referring to that has gray boxes. Can you tell me the link again. The two I sent you should not have any gray boxes. On the first link to my tidbits page, the subsequent pages will have boxes that show the computer IM command line commands. This will likely not do you much good on WebTV unless you can translate the IM commands into selections on MagickStudio.

The last link I sent you was to a text file I made of the IM options page that you have said you cannot view as HTML because it was too long. I thought a text file, though not as easy to read, might be more accessible to WebTV viewing.

FRED:

RE: THE FIRST LINK YOU POSTED WITH THE PAIR
THE TOP OF THE PAGE WAS WHITE AND THERE WERE JUST BLOCKS OF GRAY WHERE SUBJECT MATTER/LINKS ARE PLACED
NOW, FOR WHATEVER, THE WHOLE PAGE IS GRAY

THE PROBLEM WITH THAT PAGE IS THAT THE LINKS LEAD TO THE "COMMAND LINE"= KEEP GETTING A MESSAGE "TOO MUCH INFORMATION TO BE SEEN" ;-(((

THE SECOND PAGE YOU MADE ME, THE TXT PAGE , IS SOOO KEWL. I WANT TO TRANSLOAD IT AND KEEP IT.
IS THAT ALRIGHT WITH YOU???

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HOW BIG IT IS?

AM AFRAID TO DO ANYTHING WITH THIS WEBTV THAT IS OUT OF THE ORDINARY. LOL & NOT
