soft fuzzy shadows

Post by myspacee »

Hello,
find example in http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/ to obtain soft fuzzy shadows.

but can't understand how use given code for Windows:

Code: Select all

 convert -page +4+4 thumbnail.gif -alpha set \
          \( +clone -background navy -shadow 60x4+4+4 \) +swap \
          -background none -mosaic     shadow_soft.png
Image

try to :
convert -page +4+4 0_th.gif -alpha set (+clone -background navy -shadow 60x4+4+4) +swap -background none -mosaic shadow_soft.png

but console return :

Code: Select all

convert: unable to open image `(+clone': No such file or directory @ error/blob
.c/OpenBlob/2517.
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `(+clone' @ error/constitute.
c/ReadImage/532.
anyone can sugget how obtain same effect in windows environment ?

Try leaving a space between ( +clone and 60x4+4+4 )
