Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I'm new to imagemagick and was wondering if there is gui for it that people would recommend. It's been a little slow going for me to learn the command line options and to debug.

If you are on unix, you can display an image from the command line (display yourimage), then click on it and the GUI will open. It does not have every feature though.

Alternately, you can use an online ImageMagick Studio tool at http://www.imagemagick.org/MagickStudio ... Studio.cgi. This also has limited features.

Thanks for the info, fmw42.
I'm on windows, but i did give the ImageMagick Studio web tool a try. It wasn't quite what I had in mind but maybe it'll help teach me all options in ImageMagick.

Oh. I forgot to mention that i found various posts on vips and about "Using ImageMagick from nip2". However I wasn't sure how to go about getting it to work on windows. Seemed like it was more of a linux thing.

As far as I know, that discussion was for something that someone proposed. There is apparently only one example function that was put together to demonstrate the potential. I don't think it has been followed up with all the IM features. They were hoping someone might give it a go at programming more into it. You could PM the poster or email him about his demonstration to verify if further work has been done on it.

Best way to learn command line IM is to read the example pages put together by Anthony at
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/reference.html
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/
and then just play around.

I did try it using nip2 on Vista and it was OK but hard to learn; there is a guy working on a GUI at the moment but it will only be for 64bit Windows versions and no progress reports have been posted.

Thanks for all this great info!

This morning I found a tool called "Picture Tweaker". I think this may be the ImageMagick GUI I've been looking for. It uses gadgets and wires to hook up ImageMagick operations, and reminds me of the "create" mode in "Little Big Planet 2". What do you guys think? I've been playing with it for the past couple of hours. Here is the url: http://www.picturetweaker.org

A very interesting program jason and I have never seen it before; I wonder why the developers have not posted anythng here - unless I missed it !

I will give it a go later as well.

I can not get it to run; I must have something missing on my PC.

I would try emailing them. It works quite nicely on my machine. I'm running Vista 64 bit with an NVidia Quadro FX video card.

I emailed the developer who is very helpful; my initial problem was down to and old OpenGL driver or graphics driver.

The GIMP Batch Process can be used for most things

That link seems to be broken.

There is a web based tool that uses Imagemagick and some of my scripts at jqmagick.imagemagick.org
