Crop Resize Windows/Debian

[spooky_1999]

Hallo i use the following parameters to convert crop/resize/zoom in-out under windows and it works perferct for me:

Code: Select all

convert "source.jpg" -resize "1920x500^" -gravity center -crop 1920x500+0+0 +repage "destination.jpg"

under debian i get the following error:

convert: invalid argument for option `1920x500^': -resize.

if i remove the ^ - i get a fullsize 1920x1080 pic/not croped but zommed. Any ideas?

What is your ImageMagick version?

From the changelog:

2008-01-24 6.3.8-2 Cristy <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
Support a ^ meta character in an image geometry (.e.g convert 640x480.png -resize 240^ returns a 320x240 result).


If your IM version is older than 6.3.8-2, then this option is not available and you would have to upgrade or script an equivalent test and resize.

i have ImageMagick 6.3.7 11/16/10 Q16 on linux and ImageMagick 6.5.1-1 2009-04-10 Q16 on Windows

i use debian lenny .. all is automatically updated/upgraded but lenny is a bit older.

can i manual download and install a newer version without trouble ?

On windows you can install a binary without too much effort. Though I am not windows users. On unix, you have to download and compile each delegate library and then download the IM sources and install that.
