Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

We all know how tedious is can be to deal with long paths on the command line, and having to switch between typing in stuff, then launching a viewer to see the resulting output. So if you need to quickly figure out some adequate command line parameters, here's a little tool I just wrote, that you might find useful:

ImageMagickTester.exe ... Requires .NET 3.5

Simply load an image, enter some ImageMagick parameters, and press enter to see the result.

The instructions are a bit sparce and I was presented with a window with two boxes. I posted the path to a photo into the top box and pressed enter and all I had was an error "convert.exe: no decode delegate ............."

I tried adding some options and get error "convert.exe: no decode delegate ............. error/constitute.c/ReadImage/533"

I have .NET 3.5 SP1 and ImageMagick-6.7.6-Q16 installed.

Fair enough, here's a quick guide:

1) Choose File / Open and load an image
2) Type this text string into the text area: -level 30,60%
3) Press Enter. The image should now change, and get more contrast.

Other text strings give other results. I've added a few examples here.

Thanks for the extra instructions - now why did I not even click on Menu?

I can honistly say I did not even see it until this time !!!
