Trim, clone then trim

Say I do some processing on an image in order to make -trim more accurate... the details are unimportant, but it all ends with a trim
Code: Select all
magick convert someImage.jpg -colorspace Gray -negate -trim
I can extract information about the trimmed area to stdout with
Code: Select all
magick convert someImage.jpg -colorspace Gray -negate -trim -format "%wx%h%O" info:
And I can use this information in a new invocation of magick to crop the original image.
Is it possible to do this in a single invocation via the use of parentheses and +clone?

I think you really want -format "%@" w and h are probably the size of the input.
Code: Select all
magick convert someImage.jpg -colorspace Gray -negate -format "%@" info:
I do not quite understand. You can trim without saving the crop arguments.
Code: Select all
magick convert someImage.jpg -colorspace Gray -negate -trim +repage croppedimage.jpg
What exactly do you want to do with the crop arguments in the second command besides just cropping?

Hi, thanks for the speedy reply. I want to apply the trim that happened to the processed image to original image. I'm using a morphology and edge detection to make the image more friendly to trimming, but I effectively want to record the trim on the processed image and apply it to the unprocessed image.
To be clear, I'd rather not have to extract any crop parameters and instead (if possible) use the output of the trim of the processed image as a means of cropping the original.

As
fmw42 mentioned, you can access the calculated trim bounding box with the FX escape "%@". A command using that technique might look something like this...
Code: Select all
magick input.png ( +clone -do-some-stuff -set option:trimmer "%@" +delete ) -crop %[trimmer] output.png
That gets the specs for the trim bounding box from your processed clone, then holds that value in a variable named "trimmer", then deletes the clone to remove it from further processing. After that you use that variable to crop your original image before the output. You can learn more about how to access all sorts of information about the image at
this page about FX Escapes.

That looks perfect. I'll give this a shot later and let you know how I got on. Thanks.

I don't understand what you want, so this may not help, but you can write an image
and info about that image, eg:
Code: Select all
magick convert someImage.jpg -colorspace Gray -negate -trim -format "%wx%h%O" +write out.png info:

This is basically what is discussed in
Trimming Noisy images...
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/#trim_noise
NOTE: the techniques goes on to with an improvement by 'expanding' the resulting trim bounds using some FX maths.
That is why separate percent escapes for each number may be preferable.
At the time the example was generated two separate commands was needed, but I have added the IMv7 version of the command to the examples, for a one command version. The examples should update in a few hours.
Code: Select all
convert logo: -resize 30% noisy.jpg
Code: Select all
magick noisy.jpg \
\( +clone -virtual-pixel edge -blur 0x15 -fuzz 15% -trim \
-set option:fuzzy_trim \
'%[fx:w+20]x%[fx:h+20]+%[fx:page.x-10]+%[fx:page.y-10]'\
+delete \) \
-crop %[fuzzy_trim] noisy_trimmed_4.jpg
