Hi all

I have a rather strange problem: an image where -shave only shaves two sides, unless you rotate it first!

The following script
when run with this image



produces the following output

Version: ImageMagick 6.2.4 02/10/07 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2005 ImageMagick Studio LLC

bug2.png: PNG image data, 342 x 38, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced
bug4.png: PNG image data, 340 x 36, 8-bit/color RGB, non-interlaced

am I missing something?

System is Debian Linux on x86.

I see no problems on my system How old is your IM?
We are about to release IM v6.3.5

NOTE you should read an image first, before trying to operate on it at least in IM v6.
Your technique is the old IM v5 way which was prone to undefined operator ordering problems.

Hi Anthony -- thanks for the reply

This from Debian unstable

Thanks you for that hint -- I'll see if the "reading it first" fixes the problem which
prompted this report.

Cheers
