That's the ticket! Thank you fmw42. As usual, you got it right.

Thanks!

Is there a way to use convert -identify without copying the image to another file? It seems like I saw a post that discussed this but I can't find it anywhere. On the windows cmd line I have something like this... convert "imageIN.jpg" -verbose -identify "imageOUT.jpg" > info.txt but what I am ...

I should probably clarify that this came directly from the example in the docs at... http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/distorts/#box3d and an edit of the script from this site... http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/imagemagick/display_example.php?example=20 For me, both leave a smear at the top & bottom as I ...

( ImageMagick 6.7.7-6 2012-06-03 Q16 ) I'm not sure where this is going wrong but when I use the 3D Box set example as a windows commandline like this... convert -virtual-pixel transparent ( "tmp_spine.jpg" -matte +distort Perspective "0,0 -30,20 0,200 -30,179 39.5,200 0,200 39.5,0 0.5,0" ) ( "tmp ...

As I explained above, I think IM cannot process it faster as it is not optimized for speed but more for flexibility. As told, PaintShop Pro, (Photoshop, etc.,) performs it's pencil drawing effect instantly ... and it's pretty flexible. It would seem that a dedicated sketch command (and a couple of ...

Oh... My bad. I totally read it wrong. Sorry. That makes more sense. I know my system is somewhat antiquated so that would account for the 40-something second difference. But still, why would it take 24 seconds on even your system (which is undoubtedly faster). I'd be interested to hear from other ...

Thanks Fred, Hey... are you tellin' me that executed in 40 milliseconds??? Well then What On Earth would cause it to take so long on my system? (Oh, I can just hear the Mac vs. PC retort on it's way. LOL) Seriously though... There are a couple convert commands I've seen do this while others complete ...

I wanted to post this here for discussion before considering this a bug. I'm using version 6.7.7-6 2012-06-03 Q16 on WinXP SP3 w/4GB ram When I use -sketch it takes quite a while to complete and it eats enormous amounts of CPU. I'm not doing anything special in the command line... convert inputfile ...

You're a Rock Star, Fred! That works...!!! convert ImageIN.bmp -quality 100 JPG:- | convert - -fuzz 10%% -fill none -draw "matte 0,0 floodfill" ImageOUT.png I wish I knew what I had stumbled onto ( before I butchered it like a n00b ), but even if I could remember, it was no where close to as ...

Hey, thanks!

Here are 2 images, One with a silver background, the other white...

ImageIN.bmp
Image2IN.bmp

I appreciate your help... Enormously!

(I thought matte was deprecated by -alpha set ??)

The logo test worked. And you were correct about my input image being 24bit. But what I am confused about (and frustrated with myself about) is that I had this working at one point all in one shot... with the same input image! I'm not sure why yet, but if I hit it twice it works and I end up with a ...

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm using version 6.7.7-6. I tried the command you suggested, (the syntax corrections make perfect sense, thank you), however I still end up with an opaque background, at 256colors, no alpha channel. I've reverted back to the simplest of examples, and those examples ...

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong in the following (Windows) command line? I've read manuals, posts, and tweaked until I'm rgb(0,0,255) in the face. The original image is a rounded rectangle (with a silver background) that I need to remove the background from, but I keep ending up with ...
