Possible to convert the alpha channel to unmatted?

What about this one from your cloud link?

Sorry, correct command and image are:

Code: Select all

convert 00a9.svg -transparent white -units pixelspercentimeter -density 37.8 -depth 8 00a9_im8b.png

Sorry no this one doesn't work.

Yeah this one works fine.

How about this one:

Code: Select all

convert 00a9.svg -transparent white -background black -alpha background -units pixelspercentimeter -density 37.8 -depth 8 PNG8:00a9_im8c.png

http://www.fmwconcepts.com/misc_tests/s ... 9_im8c.png

or this one

Code: Select all

convert -background transparent 00a9.svg -units pixelspercentimeter -density 37.8 -depth 8 00a9_im8d.png

or this one

Code: Select all

convert -background transparent 00a9.svg -units pixelspercentimeter -density 37.8 -depth 8 00a9_im8d.png

Yes! that very last command works now, thanks so much! Amazing!

So if I want to batch convert a whole folder I'd just do

mogrify -background transparent -units pixelspercentimeter -density 37.8 -depth 8 -format *.png *.svg

?

try

Code: Select all

mogrify -background transparent -units pixelspercentimeter -density 37.8 -depth 8 -format png *.svg

But I am not sure it will work, because it may try to do -background transparent after reading the svg and not before as per my convert command. If it does not work, then you may have to write a script loop over each image in a folder using convert as in my example above.

Also, I am not sure the density of 37.8 will be correct for all your svg files. But perhaps you do not care.

You could try just

Code: Select all

mogrify -background transparent -units pixelspercentimeter -depth 8 -format png *.svg

If the previous mogrify works.

try

Code: Select all

mogrify -background transparent -units pixelspercentimeter -density 37.8 -depth 8 -format png *.svg

No that seems perfect, it's converting away now and they seem fine so far.
Thanks again, I really love this software, makes me feel like I'm some sort of super hacker

Glad that finally worked out.
