Re: Support for HDR Images

Is it just me, or people mean two different things when talking about HDR images? Maybe I'm just not understanding things right though.. It seems like there is the HDR file format, for storing high quality images. Then, there is the HDR effect, which is "simulated" HDR. For the HDR effect,...

Glow text on image... how to place on picture..

so, I'm working on adding glowing text to an image, and I've gotten pretty far with the examples, and I can produce it on a white background. http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/9601/18655726bg9.gif convert -size 200x200 xc:none -pointsize 40 -fill green -draw \"text 0,90 'Glowing'\" -matte...

Palette Generator..

Does anybody know how the various palette generators work?

Example:

Do they just look at the primarily used colors? How can you find which colors are used most?

Re: Rotating Animated GIF

The two methods I'd suggest would both be in improving the pictures taken. I would turn off the flash and use ambient light (maybe just outside light on a sunny day) This would get your camera to do less auto adjusting on the levels. The other method would be to put it on a turntable and use movie m...

Re: SIOX object extraction for IM?

Well, they have written the algorithm in C as a gimp plugin:

http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gimp/app/b ... iew=markup

I haven't developed plugins for either IM or gimp, so I have no idea how different they are.

Maybe we can convince them to write an initial version for IM.

SIOX object extraction for IM?

I was just reading about an image tool for extracting objects, sorta like a magic wand, but a lot better. Info is at siox.org .. Looks like it's only implemented as a plugin for other image programs. I'm wondering if it's be possible to add it to IM?

Re: Adding noise. The amount of noise.

I'd be interested in knowing how to do this as well. How to add just a little noise.

Blur Edges.

I'm working on creating this effect:

http://ebin.wordpress.com/2007/03/21/ho ... photoshop/

I'm stuck on the part where it creates depth of field by blurring around the edges of the picture.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Re: creating square thumbnails regardless of picture ratio.

Oh, my mistake, it is working. I reversed one of the x200's.

It'd be great if there was a simpler way of doing this. so, I'm all for the crop resize.

Making waves.

I'm looking to make an animated image like this: http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c76/21110/nedbanner.gif It's an old effect that I've seen a lot of places, but I don't know the best way to make it in IM. I'm guessing that I'd use a Distortion or Displacement Map like in the examples... but I don't...

Re: Blend images with gradient.

Great! Thank you. I'm finally getting results.

I think the command you used there was "convert" and not "compose".

Re: Blend images with gradient.

Well, that sounds like exactly what I'd want to do.

How would I "add transparency to edge of one image" ?

Re: Blend images with gradient.

Boy, I wish I could upgrade to the latest version.. however, it won't even install on the latest RH release.

6.2.9 was the version I was testing it on. I can't update the server version, and the anything newer from IM won't install.

Was there a work around for the version that didn't work?
