I have 6.6.9-7. q16 dynamic - window xp If I do: "convert -size 1650x1275 xc:"#ffffcc" -resize 50% test2.png" it work perfectly. I get an image that is 825x638. It I create a .bat file withthe same command, it ignores the % sign and create an image that is 50x39. I tried adding a...

Thanks, Great stuff!

I have 6.6.9-7. q16 dynamic - window 2003 server I am using the caption command on a charactor and then centering it on another image. It moves vertically depending on the font and the character. I am guessing that it is because the font is adding whitespace either above or below the actual characte...

I have 6.6.9-7. q16 dynamic - window 2003 server I want to put text on an existing image with a white background. I used label, but that creates a box. I would like rounded corners. I could use the draw roundrectangle and then put the text inside, but I want it to have it size itself to fit the text...

Thanks for the reply. The first option will work. I am confused though. I thought that the way image magic worked was like a stack so that convert -size 1650x1275 xc:"#ffff99" was the first "layer" and BG_SC1_Design_03.png would be the second layer so that +level-colors blue,whit...

Sorry, 6.6.9-7. q16 dynamic - window 2003 server I tried some itteration using +level-color with promising results. Here is my command: convert -size 1650x1275 -density 300 xc:#ffff99 "c:\PCSHARE\PCGRAPHICS\ITWEB\REXFILES\BG_SC1_Design_03.png" +level-colors blue,white -composite -resize 20...

I have a grayscale image. I would like to convert it to another color, say blue. I would now want the black to be blue and the others to be shades of blue. How would I do that?

Sorry, but are you saying I should install this?

I upgraded to imagemagick 6.6.9-7 16 bit dynamic and ghostscript 9.01 this morning on windows server. On bootup, I am now getting a window that keeps popping up the says convert.exe encountered a problem and need to stop. When I close the window, it pops up again. After about 10 times, it finally st...

can you use a 64 bit version on a 32 bit os?

Thanks for your help anyway. I have found that I can do convert -limit memory 500 -limit map 500 *.png *.pdf and it does not run out of memory. I have 8 gig of memory and it still crashes at 2 gig if I don't do the -limit. Is there a reason for this and is there a way to use all 8 gig's? I was think...

There are 4 exe versions for windows. q8 dll, q16 static, q8 dll and q8 static. I have been using the q16 and want to go to the q8 version. What is the difference between the dll version and the static version and what are the performance related specifics with it? I am trying to process huge amount...

Thanks. I have the q16 version, and don;t think the q8 version will make a difference. I saw this which is a way to limit memory: env MAGICK_TMPDIR=/data nice -5 \ convert -limit memory 32 -limit map 32 \ huge_9Gb_file.psd -scene 1 +adjoin layer_%d.png I tried a simple: convert -limit area 1000mb *....

I want to create a 60,000 image multipage postscript or pdf file from png graphics. To test, I put 1,000 of them into a directory and then did "convert *.png multi.pdf or ps" both use up 2 gigs of memory and then abort. Is there a way to handle this. What I am trying to accomplish is to cr...

I am looking to take a number of records, create a convert command based on the data and create an image. I then want to create a multipage pdf or a postscript file to send to a printer. Say I end up with 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, 4.jpg. How would I make these graphics into a 4 page pdf? I found this: co...
