Re: Weird results when cropping and resizing

Ahhh, looks like I am running into issues due to the image's orientation! The crop is based on the image's orientation before I "fix" it. This would explain why my crops are strange. When I remove -auto-orient, then my image crops great, it's just that it's rotated on it's side! Now I need...

Weird results when cropping and resizing

Hello, I can't seem to figure out the best way to crop and resize to an exact target width and height. My code: convert \ "001.jpg" \ -auto-orient \ -crop 3026x3072+1579+0 \ -gravity Center \ -resize 2622x2660^ \ -density 304x304 \ -quality 100 \ -depth 8 \ -units PixelsPerInch \ -strip \ ...

Re: Convert to PDF version 1.4, exactly (need 1.4 as hard coded arg)

Just as an update, I think I will use GhostScript to do the PDF conversion for my project. I just found out that it has an option for PDF version:

Code: Select all

-dCompatibilityLevel=1.4

[solved] Convert to PDF version 1.4, exactly (need 1.4 as hard coded arg)

Hello, Out of the box, from what I can tell, on my macOS system, ImageMagick creates a PDF using 1.4. But when I use: convert inputfiles pdfa:outputfile.pdf The pdf is version 1.6. Is there any way for me to specify the exact version? I think, optimally, I want PDFA 1.4. Basically, I need to make su...

Re: Blurred text cut off around edges: Best way to fix?

I think both of your "-border" operations should come immediately after creating each label. It might work the way you have it, but normally you'd want to put that border around something that already exists. A version update, adding other operations to the label, or migrating to IM7 coul...

Re: Blurred text cut off around edges: Best way to fix?

What would be the best way to avoid the blur from being cut off? First thing I'd try there is adding a border of at least the size of your blur, maybe even a few pixels more. Add that border after you make the label, and do your blur operation after that. ... label:"Label Words" -borderco...

Re: Polaroid with no border?

You want "polaroid without the border" do you still want the curl, text, drop shadow? I would suggest you manually make a example of what you want and post a link or explain it a bit better Good questions/points @Bonzo! Sorry that I was not more clear. I will put together a command like s...

Polaroid with no border?

Hello, I would like to create a collage of images. Based on my research of IM, it looks like the polaroid effect is what I want. I am able to get the command to work, but I am not able to remove the border (though, I can colorize and resize it). Unfortunately, setting a border size of "0" ...

Re: RGB JPG to CMYK TIF, then combined into PDF

Thank you so much for your help fmw42!!! I really appreciate it!

Excellent advice. You are right about using IM directly. I think that's going to clear up some confusion for me whilst I develop my code.

Thanks again, you have been extremely helpful. :)

In node's version of graphicsmagick, there's an option to subclass imagemagick: https://github.com/aheckmann/gm#use-imagemagick-instead-of-gm But you're probably right on the forum thing. :) With that said, thanks for the tip on +...

Hi GeeMack and fmw42, thanks so much for your quick replies and help, I really do appreciate it. There are a few ways to approach this. Is it something you'll be doing for many files, or just a one-off? This will be for many files. Basically, I'm starting with a 10,000px by 10,000px image and scalin...
