how to get de-facto bits-per-pixel image property via identify

The goal is to get value (file_size_in_bytes)/(image_height*image_width) in massive (Windows !) batch.
There are two problems (for me as a beginner):
- I found no -format option to get "always integer" filesize in bytes (%[size] give KB or MB values) to do math externally
- "obvios" calculations via
fx:
identify -format "%[width] %[height] %[size] %[fx:b/(w*h)]" filename.jpg
gives uncorrect result because
%b file size of image read in is not the file size but usage of
%[size] impossible in
fx:

%b and %[size] are strings, not numbers. I don't think IM can give you the size in bytes.

So, is there no solution inside IM at all ? Quite strange for such a powerful tool with all (trivial) data on the fingertips ...

You can test for KB or MB in the returned value and then multiply by 1000 or 1000000 and change KB or MB to B.

IM quite often doesn't provide facilities that are available elsewhere. IM is an
image processor, not a
file processor, so we often need to use script facilities to do what we want.
For example, in Windows CMD:
Code: Select all
for %F in (x*.jpg) do %IM%convert %F -format "%[fx:%~zF/w/h]" info:

What is your version of IM? On my 6.9.9.22 and 7.0.7.10 Q16 Mac OSX, I get B (bytes)
Code: Select all
convert barns_grand_tetons.jpg -format "%b\n" info:
Code: Select all
identify -format "%b\n" barns_grand_tetons.jpg
Code: Select all
identify -format "%[size]\n" barns_grans.jpg

This code really works @ ImageMagick-7.0.3-Q16 and ImageMagick-7.0.7-Q16 (Windows-64)
Code: Select all
for %%F in (*.jpg) do magick convert "%%F" -format """%%f"" %%[fx:%%~zF/w/h]\n" info: >> files_info.txt

magick identify may be slightly faster than magick. You do not want to use magick convert. That points back to the IM 6 versions of convert. Just replace convert with magick. The other tools need to be prefaced with magick in IM 7

Note that you can use -precision to control whether you get B or KB or MB, but it round off the fractional part
Code: Select all
identify -format "%b\n" barns_grand_tetons.jpg
Code: Select all
convert -precision 3 barns_grand_tetons.jpg -format "%b\n" info:
