Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

ImageMagick can help in a couple of ways - resize images; add watermarks, frames and shadows. Note there is a good chance anything to do with text may not work - loads of people have problems with this . It will not work anyway if you are in "Safe mode". As to uploading the photos and disp...

I seem to have everything working using php now apart from display, comment & identify. As far as I can see in the posts I will only be ably to get display to work with an X server whatever that is? But why cant I get comment or identify to work ? Code I have tried: exec("/usr/local/bin/con...

Ask your host what the "path to imagemagick" is.

If you are using a php based gallery it should be something like /usr/local/bin/

An other way if the gallery has a froum ask what other people there are using.

I finaly have this working although I need to sort ot some details and get the label and append working. My host uploaded the latest version of the code and it still didn't work then they uploaded the "ghostscript " what ever that is and it worked. Anthony http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/image...

If you look half way down the page of the first link you will see a thumbnail with "Skyblue" padding which I thought was the effect you wanted. " Pad Out the Image " I tried the first 2 examples and the first one didn't work for me and the second one would only work if I output a...

Thats beyond me then Ben !

By the way you have an interesting site, I would have liked to see the damage to your car after the hailstones hit it. Can you do that again and get some pictures of the damge next time

I am afraid I can not help then vav. The only other things I would try are: 1/ test/ntest - thats a laugh as the forum changed & # 4 7 ; to / ( I have added extra spaces to see if it will display ) 2/ Try putting 'test\ntest' into a variable and use the variable in the convert comand instead. An...

P.S. If you are looking to do this with php I have some example code at http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/imagemagick/code.php that you should be able to modify.

One step forward one step back ! I put loads of echo statements in my code when I get a problem like that as it tells you what each variable contains. Looks like in your case you seem to have lost the file extension somewhere as its trying to open /tmp/phphHd66D which is not an image. I would put $o...

I would try saving the path to a variable then using the variable in the code. $new_name = '/home/user/public_html/temp/temp_image.jpg'; exec("/usr/local/bin/convert $file -thumbnail 100x100 $new_name"); I used to think you had to use the full path from server root but am not sure now. All...

I am glad to have been of help David.

There is so much to learn with ImageMagick and I am just trying things out a bit at a time.

My code does work OK ridera

Out of interest I have just tried out a creating a thumbnail using ImageMagick and GD. There does not look a lot of difference to me !
The IM version looks to contain a bit more colour.

I think my code is OK ridera; I only needed the { } around the array variables but not the normal variables. I will check again later; if I get time ! I am not sure exactly about this noodleboy but the \ tells the code that the comand carries onto the next line as you say. A couple of things I would...
