Thank you, that is working I had originally tried brackets but hadn't put spaces on each side of the bracket, and I didn't persist because I didn't know that was possible.

thank you i will try that.

I have another question:

I am adding video + audio codecs and studio logos to the disc images I am auto creating. I want the images on the edge of the disc i am creating.
However the logos that I am adding have unknown widths and the X+Y positioning for composition only uses the top left corner of ...

BRILLIANT!!! Thank you.

Hi

Thanks for your tips :)

I havn't been able to combine line 2+3 because when i do the resulting image is 1000x98 pixels.

I have been unable to alter line #2 to create a 1000x1000 transparent background where the text is centered on the X axis, but the Y axis is set with a number.

Hi Koopa, I just edited my post above. Can I just append the lines. I'm not actually a programmer so I do struggle with the ordering.

Thanks.

Can I do this within the same command line?

(or) will I have to make 3 separate commands?
ie. Make disc image, save to temp image to HDD, Make text image save temp image #2 to HDD, then combine the images?

At the moment I have:

convert.exe %1 -resize 1778x1778 ^ -gravity center -crop ...

Annotation woes

This is my script:

"%~dp0convert.exe" %1 -resize 1778x1778 ^ -gravity center -crop 1000x1000+0+0 +repage ^ "%~dp0fanart.mask.png" -alpha off -compose copy_opacity -composite "%~dp0fanart.overlay.png" -compose over -composite ^ -font candice -pointsize 48 ^ -gravity center ...

Unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out the code to do what I wanted...

however I figured out a cheat

Since all the movie posters have an aspect ratio of 0.667 If I resize to 1500x1500 then the width will be exactly 1000 pixels

convert poster.jpg -resize 1500x1500 ^ -gravity center -crop ...

There is a small problem with the resize / crop in the first part of the command

convert poster.jpg -gravity center -crop 1000x1000+0+0 +repage result.jpg

What seems to be happening is it is croping a 1000x1000 centre part of the image, but what I really want is

Resize the width to 1000 pixels ...

thanks, i switched the order of the commands (as above edited post) and i got the result i wanted

(There was some shadowing outside the dvdoverlay image that was cut off by the mask, if you applied the mask first)

THANKS!

That is 95% there

I actually want to apply the mask before the overlay, I might be able to figure this out myself (hopefully) :D

EDIT:

convert poster.jpg -gravity center -crop 1000x1000+0+0 +repage ^ transparency_mask.png -alpha off -compose copy_opacity -composite dvdoverlay.png ...

Hi

I'm trying to use imagemagick for auto creating missing disc images from a movie poster for mediaportal (open source home theatre pc software). I'm hoping some one can help me with the commands I need to use.

Start with poster.jpg which is a rectangular image and can be any size.

Step 1a ...
