Problems trying to create images with strange effect, result

Post by gialloporpora »

Dear all,
I am reading the Image Magick documentation trying to learn more about it.
I am following examples in this page:
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/fonts/

When I try the code for obtaining an image like this:

Image

something go wrong :-(

This is my code:

Code: Select all

convert  -size 320x100 xc:black -font Arial -pointsize 72  -fill white   -annotate +25+65 'Sandro' -gamma 2 +level 0,1000 -white-threshold 999  -morphology Distance:5 Euclidean:4,1000  -level 0,5000  -shade 135x30 -auto-level +level 10,90% font_inner_bevel.png
This is my result:

Image

all black :-(

I have used ImageMagick 6.7.4-0 2011-12-07 Q16 on Windows XP.

In windows, % needs to be escaped as %%. See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/ for other differences in syntax between unix and windows

In unix (Mac OSX) the command works fine for me in IM 6.7.4.0 Q16
