What do you mean by "flattened"? WMF is a vector graphic and BMP is a (miserable) pixel grafic format. As with all vector formats, you should better use -density instead of -resize. Note that the density must be set before you load the vector image: convert -density 100x100 test.wmf test.b...

I guess that ImageMagick generates PS or EPS output and feeds that to GhostScript. (I tried to figure that out by setting the -verbose option, but couldn't really interpretate what IM reported.) The point seems to be that you cannot generate PDF/A from a non-conform (E)PS file. So IM's PostScript wi...

If I were you, I would do my first tests with a smaller image. You can however read only a (small) subsection of your large the image in Identify, see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/files/#read_mods.

As far as I understand matters, you would only have to re-define the Ghostscript command line in the file 'delegates.xml', as Ghostscript would only need the -dPDFA option set (see http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/cvs/Ps2pdf.htm#PDFA ). Although I read http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/files/#dele...

Thanks to your hints I arrived at a much shorter solution: SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION SET image=DSCN9046.jpg SET gravity=-gravity Northeast SET Option=-pointsize 100 -background "#00000000" -fill FOR /F %%i IN ('convert %Option% white label:"Test" -format %%wx%%h info:') DO ...

I am trying to label photographs with either white or black letters, depending on the mean brightness of the local background, in order to acchieve the maximum contrast. I already read Anthony's remarks on labelling and reached at the following DOS beatch file: SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION SET Op...

I think that it is hard to help you as we don't know what fax gateway you are using. This may be a problem in the specific software you use for faxing and the problems it has when interpreting the TIFF created by ImageMagick. (The file links you supplied are no longer active.) You do have some influ...

I think that this lies in the nature of rotation: The color values of the rotated image have to be interpolated from the neighbouring pixels in the original image, and any interpolation will blur the image by some extent. The effect will be most visible in images with sharp contrasting edges, like s...

Provide a link to the PDF. And give information on the versions of Windows, ImageMagick and GhostSrcipt. Tell us the exact command line you are using. Then we might narrow the problem. I have done lots of conversions PDF --> JPG under Windows and rarely met problems. (However, I remember there being...

I think there's more to it than just calling functions in a DLL. Ideally, the frontend should reproduce the look and feel of the OS it's running on. (Including simple things like the OK bottom placed at the *right* bottom of the dialog box on Apple computers.) And C# and .NET is *really* MS-specific...

There is a Windows version of SED, see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/#conversion. Anyway, the original bash script would need some modification when transferred to the Windows/DOS environment, which is also explained in the same section of this webpage.

At http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/#for_recursive you'll find a more or less ready-made example how to generate index prints in a Windows batch file, without having to compile anything. At the start of this webpage there are some general remarks on how to translate bash code to Windows batc...

There was a small very recent bug fix for region. This seems to be the explanation. I have used ImageMagick 6.6.3-0 2010-07-01 Q16 (Windows) on the computer where I originally tested the code. On this computer convert logo: -region 100x100+100+100 -negate +region -negate logo.png causes ImageMagick...

I've just had a look at NIP2, and it looks like one possible approach to the problem. (It also seems to offer a solution for another of my problems, i.e. handing a region selection over to IM.) I though would expect an IM GUI to be more like a programming editor that allows to instantly run the scri...

I have tested the +region more thoroughly now, and found that Fred and Anthony are correct: +region resets any region settings (as I initially expected) and functions perfectly. I though still have to check what went wrong with it in my original script, where it made IM crash each time. I will come ...
