ImageMagick

Hi,
I'm fustrated trying to do this relatively simple command.

I want to zoom in a on a picture, but keep the dimensions the same.. (it's for an animation)

I've tried -resize 110% -crop 800x600 , but that left weird crop lines. .

Is there a simpler way?

I guess that will work, the stacking isn't going to work right though for a clean border.
the example border is really bad

I'm trying to paste an image a number of times around the image.
like so:


I don't want to composite the image 20 times and calculate each position of each overlay

Is there a simpler way to draw a repeating pattern?

I understand the change, I'm just wondering how to go back to the previous default with out having to downgrade. This seems like a pretty big change, and I'm seeing a lot of downstream problems caused by this.. It just seems there should be an easier way to set the default colorspace... than having ...

Yeah, I do build my own version. So, I guess I'm wondering how to go back to the old behavior. Is there a compile flag?

yeah, that works. I have lots of scripts, is there an easy way to set RBG as the default instead of sRBG gobally?

So, I'm converting an image to black and white.. I'm getting a much darker image now with IM 6.8.2-10 command I'm using: mogrify -colorspace gray image.jpg Any idea on what's going on here? Has the colorspaces changed? http://i.imgur.com/F12GFoI.jpg Version: ImageMagick 6.7.0-0 2011-05-24 Q16 http:/...

I've been using IM for a long time to draw text on images, usually in the form: -fill '#ffffff' -pointsize 20 -draw "rotate 45 text 100,100 'This is text'" I've been having trouble with special characters and unicode, so, I thought I could just put the text in a file and access with @filename, but t...

Oh, thank you, that's perfect.

I'm finally understanding that command!

It seems that everyone has different namings of these actions.

I'm trying to reproduce this effect from picasa.

As demo'd in youtube.

The highlights increases the brighter colors
the shadows makes darker colors darker..

it seems to do it somewhat evenly.. or should I say proprotionally.

I did post it.. http://openclipart.org/people/nicubunu/ ... plain).svg

I'm also noticing black outlines in the output.

I'm getting a weird clipping issue when trying to convert from a clipart svg http://openclipart.org/people/nicubunu/nicubunu_Christmas_Tree_(plain).svg http://openclipart.org/people/nicubunu/nicubunu_Christmas_Tree_(plain).png convert -alpha on -depth 8 -background none in.svg out.png http://i.imgur...

Can anyone give me some hints on how to update IM on a CentOS 5.8 ? I can never track down the latest packages.. yum doesn't work for the upgrade. rpm -Uvh ImageMagick-6.8.0-7.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libHalf.so.4()(64bit) is needed by ImageMagick-6.8.0-7.x86_64 libIex.so.4()(64bit) is...

Wondering how hard it would be to convert the functions for IM.

I'm hoping to reduce the file size on animated video gifs.. It seems much of the animation optimizations are for when only parts of the image are updated, but I know video is a bigger challenge.. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwmk4m8tue1qekfz3o1_250.gif What's the best way to optimize a gif like...
