Hello,
I am a absolute beginner with IM.
Just tried two scripts from Fred: stainedglass worked - picturefold dind't

My system:
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Version: ImageMagick 6.9.7-4 Q16 x86_64 20170114

And here what I get:
-> no output image map.jpg is produced at all...

>> picturefold.sh -n 5 ...

This is what I get:

>> /tmp$ ls -al

sudo apt-get upgrade

does not change the version of Imagemagick.

in the /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml file it looks as follows:

<policymap>
<!-- <policy domain="resource" name="temporary-path" value="/tmp"/> -->
<policy domain="resource" name="memory" value="1GiB"/>
<policy domain ...

As already mentioned in my first post:
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
ImageMagick 6.9.7-4 Q16 x86_64 20170114 -> no changes made after Installation.

• What are the critical entries in the policy.xml file?
• I'll try another large picture in the evening today

Thanx for your reply.
If I use the new script with the birdofparadise.gif as input everything works perfectly.
However, with cartoon-parrot.jpg as input an error messages appears...
Can you help decode the thrown error?
