Hi--

I am trying to batch edit my files and save them as their original names using the code:
But, they are all saved under the first tif name as almost a pdf, with all of the image combined into the one. Any tips on how to remedy this?

Use mogrify.

How does one use mogrify? I have never heard of this

For a list of ImageMagick tools, see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... -tools.php

For "magick mogrify" examples and options, see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/mogrify.php

For your use the best answer is probably snibgo's suggestion to use "mogrify". But if you need to use "magick", you can make sure the output images are separate and not combined into a multi-image TIF by using the plus "+" version of +adjoin.

I would generally put that "-set filename ..." right after reading in the images. Also, I'd put quotes around the "%t" in case any of the file names have spaces or special characters in them.

When using IM7 you should probably be using just "magick" instead of "magick convert". Adding "convert" will make the command behave as if it's IM version 6. That's not usually what you'll want.
