Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I've noticed when I issue this convert command:
The "This is a comment" comment doesn't get set in the new JPEG image file. If I use mogrify to set the comment, the comment is set in the JPEG image file.

Is this normal behavior for convert? I'm using ImageMagick 6.7.7-10 on Ubuntu 13.10 Linux (64-bit).

Thanks!

Peace...

try

convert photo.jpg -strip -quality 90 -set comment "This is a comment" newphoto.jpg

I think the use -comment needs to come before the input, so try also

convert -comment "This is a comment" photo.jpg -strip -quality 90 newphoto.jpg

Thanks! I'll try both of those and will report back my results!

EDIT: Ok, your suggestions worked like a charm! Thanks!

Peace...
