access to commands

[gigharborjim]

This should be simple but the solution is eluding me. I am a new user to Imagemagick. I can't access the commands on the windows command line. I installed Imagemagick with the system path, and if I execute "path" it is at the front of my path. But I can't access any of the commands.

What version did you install? If it was v7, did you tick the box to install legacy applications (convert etc)? What commands have you tried? Have you tried "magick"?

I installed 7.02-4 Q16. I don't remember ticking anything other than system path. I am trying to use the "convert" command.

If you did not install the (IM 6) legacy code at install, then try

Code: Select all

magick convert ....

or just

Code: Select all

magick ...

See http://imagemagick.org/script/porting.php#cli

IM 7 is a major upgrade and relatively new. Syntax has changed so that magick replaces convert. Many of the docs were created for IM 6 using convert, e.g. http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/

That did the trick. Thank you very much. I wouldn't have thought to do that....
