I want to use CSS sprites on a web site instead of separate image files, for a large collection of small icons that are all the same size. How can I concatenate (tile) them into one big image using ImageMagick? ...
I'm currently using ImageMagick to determine the resolution of images uploaded to the website. By calling ImageMagick's "identify" on the command line it takes about 0.42 seconds to determine a 1MB JPEG's resolution along with the fact that it's a JPEG. I find that a bit slow. Using the Imagick PHP library is even slower as it attemps t...
Hello, Trying to install the RMagick gem is failing with an error about being unable to find ImageMagick libraries, even though I'm sure they are installed. The pertinent output from gem install rmagick is: checking for InitializeMagick() in -lMagick... no checking for InitializeMagick() in -lMagickCore... no checking for InitializeMa...

Brief: convert ( -size 585x128 gradient: ) NewImage.png How do I change the above ImageMagick command so it takes the width and height from an existing image? I need it to remain a one line command. Details: I'm trying to programatically create an image reflection using ImageMagick. The effect I am looking for is similar to what ...
I need to be able to determine if a part of an image (outside of predetermined crop marks) contains any image content. Is there a way with ImageMagick (specifically the php interface) to do this? Scenario: The canvas is 8.5x11 with .5 in margins on the top, left, and bottom edges and a 1 in margin on the right edge. The image needs to...
On our site, we get a large amount of photos uploaded from various sources. In order to keep the file sizes down, we strip all exif data from the source using mogrify: mogrify -strip image.jpg What we'd like to be able to do is to insert some basic exif data (Copyright Initrode, etc) back onto this new "clean" image, but I can't see...
Photoshop has that great: BiCube Shaper option for resizing. However I cannot find an equivalent. I've seen various code using GD that used imagecopyresampled and custom unsharp mask, but no where near the quality I am expecting. Any help? ...
I want to pixelate and/or blur an image. I've found the command for the blurring: $convert image.jpg -blur 18,5 newimage.jpg to work but I cannot blur the image any more. And how do I pixelate the image? I couldn't find a sound example around the net. Thx ...
I'm attempting to use Python to convert a multi-page PDF into a series of JPEGs. I can split the PDF up into individual pages easily enough with available tools, but I haven't been able to find anything that can covert PDFs to images. PIL does not work, as it can't read PDFs. The two options I've found are using either GhostScript or Im...
We've all seen cool WPF demo-applications with rich media. My question is if WPF-objects can replace some basic functionality in ImageMagick. Basic functions like resizing images, cropping and so on. The results from .NET 2.0's System.Graphics-namespace's resizing is just sad (GDI+). Maybe I'm using it wrong, but out of the box it seem...
Each month I get new CMYK and RGB images that shall be used on the web. I had a script using a patched up ImageMagick doing this, but it got deleted. So I need to do it again, but it was hard last time. How do you easily and quickly convert CMYK image files to RGB? ...
When converting from PNG to JPG using the MagickWand API, how do I set the background to white for transparent pixels? ...
I'm trying to annotate some text onto a base image with a dropshadow. I don't like the results I get from using the -shadow option, so I'm putting down the text, blurring it, then putting down the text again in white, a few pixels offset from the shadow. Here's the command I'm using: convert base_image.jpg \ -font TT0590M_.ttf \...
The problem I have is quite simple, I'm hoping somebody with GD or ImageMagick experience can answer it. I have a source .gif (which may or may not have transparency). I want to set a background (a gradient, though specifics shouldn't matter), put the .gif on top of that, then round the corners. The rounded corner areas should be tran...
Trying to write UTF-8 text to an image without any luck. I've spent several hours reading docs and googling. /usr/bin/xlsfonts shows: ... -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-p-56-iso10646-1 -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-p-56-iso8859-1 ...

I have a strong need to start implementing database driven graphs on a couple of projects and the only library I have really played with is PEAR's Image_Graph. On the surface this seems fairly limited and like it may not be the best solution. I am going to need to generate both bar/pie charts, nothing overly fancy for the first cut. ...
I've been bashing my head against this to no avail. I need to shrink some large PDFs to print on an 8.5x11 inch (standard letter) page. Can imagemagick/ghostscript handle this sort of thing, or am I having so much trouble because I'm using the wrong tool for the job? Just relying on the 'shrink to page' option in client-side print dial...
I'm trying to load preview thumbnails of high resolution images and the application needs to be able to load 100 hi rez images at one time. The only way i know how to do this is if I use the Loader class and I have to load the ENTIRE file and then scale down the image and use the data as an image preview. what i'd like to do is use imag...
