Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hi All,

I want to automate a process using Imagemagick which is so far doing manually through Adobe photoshop.

i.e.

EPS files need to be converted to jpeg format with 150 dpi resolution

In Adobe photoshop the quality of the image looks so clear with the above mentioned 150 dpi

But from Image magick, we can achieve only such a clarity by fixing "-density 600"

one notable surprise in this is

even Adobe image shows 150dpi the one sample image file size is 643KB
the same sample file with 600 dpi created using imagemagick shows only 125KB

Can anybody explain the tricks behind the Adobe photoshop conversion?

Thanks in Advance,
Srikrishnan

what was your exact command and can you post a link to one of your eps files. also what version of IM and what platform

Hi Thanks for your response,

my PC details

OS: Windows XP
Version: ImageMagick 6.7.0-6 2011-06-07 Q16

Command: convert -density 600 "C:/sample.eps" -resize 25% "c:/sample.jpg"

FYI: I dont know how to upload eps image from my hard disk to this forum (img button only supports url link)

Thanks,
Srikrishnan

your command looks fine. to post images, you have to find some free hosting place, upload your image there and put a link to it here. one such place is dropbox, but there are plenty online if you search. some may not allow eps, though.
