appears that jpeglib is not installed correctly. or perhaps your pony.jpeg is corrupt in some way. can you provide a link to that image. How did you install IM. I am using IM 6.5.5-2 Q16 on Mac OSX Tiger. I installed manually. No MacPorts and NO FINK. If you installed IM with either, then you need t...

sorry can you show us the texture and what image you want to apply in only the white area. it is not clear what you want. If I understand and perhaps not, then you need to have a texture image the size of the other image. In the other image you need to mask the white area and make it transparent. Th...

Anthony,

so for my own edification, do you quote the whole filename or just the brackets


'filename[8x8].jpg'


or

filename'[8x8]'.jpg

or something else

what is your command line that gives the error?

Can you do

convert logo: logo.jpg

or does that give errors?

IM does not handle layers as in Photoshop. IM allows you to have multiple layers but they are stored as frames or pages. To view the image, you ultimately have to flatten all the frames (layers) into one image or composite frame. You can keep a version of the image with multiple layers or frames, bu...

You don't need HDRI to use OpenEXR images. The only reason for using HDRI is if you have images that have negative values or you need to keep floating point accuracy. OpenEXR in IM only supports half format or 16-bits, as far as I know. To use it, you have to install the OpenEXR delegate library and...

convert and mogrify are two totally different and unmixable commands. To run mogrify, you cannot specify an input or an output file as it takes the filename from the images in the folder it is processing. Mogrify processes EVERY file in the current folder. The syntax is mogrify -path path_to_newimag...

I don't understand what you mean by 'having a physical file present' IM whether convert or mogrify will make a file to disk if you supply an output file. If you don't supply the output file, you will get an error! The only way around that is to use null: for the output. But I don't see the point of ...

convert should be able to do what you want, but you do need to give it an output name.

what were you doing with mogrify -- that is what is your command?

if on unix, you could try

image\[8x8\].gif

but if quotes does not work, i doubt this will work. But I am no expert on these things.

brackets refer to a subsection on the input image or to an image frame (sequence), but appear AFTER the suffix see Selecting an Image Region on http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-processing.php#input So I suspect you may have trouble with filenames that have [ ... ] in the primary part o...

This seems to work, but I cannot say it is the best or most efficient way. Perhaps Anthony can comment. This is the first time I have tried using -clip and clip paths (and +clip seems to be needed, works, but is undocumented) see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#clip http:/...

I am very confused about what you are trying to do. Please provide more details. How do you put a tif inside a png? Can you provide an example of what you are trying to do? Is there some tif file with some kind of clip path inside it? Do you want to convert the tif to png so that the area inside the...

sounds like a Windows issue. but please post a couple of links to one image that works and one that does not and show your identify and your Windows information. IM shows information in a consistent way as far as I know. So I would expect it is Windows that is not consistent. But a special -fx calcu...

try

mogrify.exe -path fullpathto\work\ -format jpg -thumbnail 96x96 *.*
