The next point release of ImageMagick, 6.2.7-2, will attempt to support the thumbnail standard. Simply use this command, for example:

• convert file:///home/ally/myimage.jpg -thumbnail 128x128 thumb.png

Post a URL to one of your images that is not converting correctly. We'll see if we can correct the problem.

Wish we could help with VS 6. We heard enough complaints about VS 6 that the development team bought a copy and ImageMagick compiled first time without complaint. Hopefully someone in the ImageMagick user community might have some insight into resolving VS 6 problems.

Replace -font Candice with -debug all on your convert command line. You added it to the identify command line.

If ImageMagick reports 6.2.4 that is the version you are using. You may have two versions of ImageMagick installed and are using the wrong one. When we convert your SVG with ImageMagick 6.2.7-1 we get the same results as you posted with Inkscape.

We do not include a Mac OS X Q8 binary, perhaps someone else has one. You could try downloading a version from Fink. Or compile from source. The only problems is that ImageMagick works best if it has access to its delegate libraries which are generally not readily available under Mac OS X (e.g. PNG,...

We're using the latest ImageMagick 6.2.7-2 Beta and your program has been running all day without any problems. We periodically issue a identify -verbose test*bmp | grep -i sign command to ensure the pixel signatures match. We will continue running your program and you will hear back from us if it f...

For some formats, up to 2048 bytes are required. Most format can be identified within 80 or so bytes.

Try MagickLevelImageChannel(). It permits you to specify the white and black points. You could also try MagickSigmoidalContrastChannel().

Ok, you have Freetype. Next up, remove the -font Candice from your command line since chances are you don't have that font. Also add -debug all to your command line to track ImageMagick looking for its fonts.

We got very good looking results. Does your version of ImageMagick include Freetype support? Type

• idenitfy -list configure

to determine if its included. We're using ImageMagick 6.2.7-1.

We will add a sigmoidal contrast method for Magick++ to the next ImageMagick point release, scheduled for release within the next week or two.

ImageMagick requires the Freetype library or Ghostscript to render. Try idenitfy -list configure to see differences in the ImageMagick configuration on your local and server machines. Make sure Ghostscript is installed on both. Check the versions of each. Also add -debug all to your convert command ...

Try this command:

• convert -density 300 test.svg test.png
