Hi, new user here. Don't know very much about command line basics (as you shall see below), so any help appreciated!

Goal: I'm trying to send files to a different folder (a folder in another part of the C drive, and not the one I'm currently in.)

How do I do this?

The files are in a folder called \Users\myname\Documents\Art

I've changed to that directory.

Then I try to use this command:
I get a bunch of "unable to open image", no such file or directory errors.

Do I have the wrong syntax? Can I only send files to the current directory I'm in?

Thanks for any help.

It helps if you tell us your IM version and platform (Windows, I suppose).

The command should work provided the directory exists and you have permission to write to it.

You should copy (or move, if you want to overwrite your originals) your images to the new directory before running "mogrify".

mogrify -path \Users\myname\Documents\newfolder -resize x900 -format png *.png

If you are on unix, that should be forward slashes.

mogrify -path /Users/myname/Documents\newfolder -resize x900 -format png *.png

If on windows, you probably need to start with disk id:
