It seems that IM does not like to receive an Array containing the source and destination files. The source and destination file have to be included in the arguments, and the Array containing optional arguments have to be included between them. So the following will not generate any error, BUT ImageM...

Hi, In Vbscript, How could I use a variable number of arguments ? (In IM v 6.9.9) 'Declare my arguments Dim arg(1) arg(0) = "c:\Source.jpg" arg(1) = "c:\Destination.jpg" 'The following works, but I have to know the number of arguments, they will never be the same in my program Se...

Hi, Another time : thank you Snigbo, fmw42, and GeeMack ! The best results are obtained by Snigbo's two proposals, -spread 20 and -compose Displace ! I will start from them, then blur them a little. This way, my background will be in coherence with the rotated image (that I will compose over the spr...

Oh ! Just another thing I am thinking about... I have seen that I could use -virtual-pixel random -filter point ^ to get the newly created pixels of the background as "random from the colors contained in the original image". But without considering SRT or any other operator, I am wondering...

Hi Fred, Hi Snigbo, Keeping everything transparent THEN apply the background by flattenning is what I was trying to achieve... But your knowledge of IM surpassed mine ! I'ma little bit contrite as the command-line is just "simple" and "self-explanatory"... So my final words will ...

Hi, Under windows with IM 6.5 or 6.9, I am applying an SRT rotation over a PNG image, and would like to set the background color. I can successfully rotate the image and set the virtual pixels color, but my rotated image in the center remains in a "transparent square". To be clearer, the i...

Hi, For those of you who are forced to use ImageMagick below 6.8.9, and still need to keep and convey the initial Alpha channel of the source PNG image, here is a fully working workaround. The trick is to extract the initial Alpha channel of the PNG image, then to reapply it with the "Composite...

Thank you Fred !

Hi, I am using this composite command to create a stereo image : composite -stereo +15 SOURCE.JPG SOURCE.JPG -composite DEST.JPG I'm searching for a way to use it inside a convert command (because I need to convert the colorspace, then the output format), and I would like to avoid having two separat...

Hi again, Hi have found by myself how to preserve the initial transparency of the original source image : It is needed to extract its initial alpha channel, then combine it with the rounded mask, using the -compose Multiply operator. Here is the complete working code, based on Snigbo's one and my mo...

Hi Snigbo, I was not aware that my second image was inheriting the stroke parameters from the first. Very interesting thing ! So if I understand well, after having specified "stroke colour #e2efff width 4" for my first image, the second image was inheriting and using these parameters also,...

Hi Snigbo, Obviously I know how MPR works ;-) I have precised in my quesiton that I have splitted my command-line for ease of rading purposes. Here is the complete command line I use. The composition does not work, that is the sole problem : convert MY_FILE_IN.PNG -crop 690x690+555+555 +repage -pain...

Hi, Using IM 6.9 on Windows, I am stuck for hours on a very simple case : masking a source Png image with a Black and white mask ! I am stuck on the 4th step, when composing. Step 1. I have a colorful source image in Png. Step 2. I Crop a portion, apply a paint effect to it, then add a 4px border ar...

Oh !! I'm sorry ! That's version 6.9.0-5 !
I've made a typographical error ! ^^Sorry (I have edited my original post)
So i'm really using the latest version (downloaded from the ImageMagick website yesterday)., and with this latest version, the bug occurs..

Hi, I'm using ImageMagick for more than 3 years successfully on our Windows Server 2008; and using the version ImageMagick-6.8.5-Q16 . By just converting a simple JPG to Grayscale, it is fully working with the previous version ImageMagick-6.8.5-Q16. We updated to thelatest version 6.9.0 that seems h...
