Re: Generating svg images using convert "command line"

cancerberosgx For converting shapes to vectors, you may like to look at IM Examples... http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage//draw/#svg_output Where I go though the process, using autotrace. however SVG is not really suitable for 'drawing' real photos. I have now added a link from that area to your post...

Re: SOLVED Is image density an actual feature of an image,or merely a means of defining the size of the image in the vie

Image Density or Resolution http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#density The density of an image is completely irrelevant to the actual images pixel size. It is just a set of numbers stored with the image to tell output devices such as printers and displays how many dots (or pixels) per inch the...

Re: Extracr B&W ratio in order to "target" images

For UNIX I would use single quotes. Otherwise '\' in '\n' may get removed, though as the shell did not understand '\n' it probably didn't remove it. In shell (and more (non-DOS) languages), single quotes means 'literal' or don't do anything... While double quotes means handle '$' variable substituti...

Re: disappointed by -define jpeg:preserve-settings results

What would you like the documentation to say? ;-) It is a little confusing as to what exactly the option does. It sounds like the setting is 'true' by default. Does setting it to 'false' disable the preservation? Or does the option just not do anything at all? :-? Or should I just mention those sett...

Re: Trimming Noisy Images - another robust solution

Yes that was added later. Defaults when numbers not given being the images virtual canvas size. Though that default for image area selection is more commonly used for -crop rather than -scale. When percentages are involved the default is a copy of the other percentage, that was -crop 50% or -scale 5...

Re: Reduce the image generation time and optimize the imagemagick commands

The main thing to keep in mind when in merging commands is that sometimes after setting some setting, you will need to unset or reset them, in case that setting effects a later step. For example you start with a " -gravity center " later you do this again, when it is not needed as that set...

Unless the picture you want to frame fits in to your 'leafy image nicely... You may want to break up leafy into sub pictures, and then add them around your picture. Something like the "picture frame" process in http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/#frame_edge It all depends on exact...

Re: OCR image preprocessing with ImageMagic

If the image is from a screen dump... Make the image BIGGER.... tesseract is designed for scanned documents at about 600dpi, but displays are typically only 90 to 100dpi so scaling by 600% often works wonders. I also find some fonts make go bad. For example a 'serif f' will often be thought of as a ...

Re: How would you go about separating elements from their background?

Re: replace white with transparency

Compare it with a white image, and generate a mask, with anti-aliased transparent edges... See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/masking/#semi-trans Though it is simpler as the background is just white. Basically work out what IS fully-opaque (foreground), and you know what is fully-transparent (back...
