cli/Multipage TIFF: how do I move front/back image?

[dhartford]

Hi all,
I found this forum post which was somewhat close, but not quite: http://www.multipole.org/discourse-serv ... =1&t=20342

I'm trying to take a variety of multipage tiff images and copy them to another location with this modification:

-move the first page to the end of each respective document

or

-move the last page to the beginning of each respective document

The page counts are variable, so haven't found a good approach to handle this in imagemagick...so asking!

see -delete and -swap and -clone at
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#clone
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#delete
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#swap

so to move the first frame to the last you could do

Code: Select all

convert image.tiff -clone 0 -delete 0 newimage1.tiff

to swap the first and last images,

Code: Select all

convert image.tiff -swap 0,-1 newimage2.tiff

The -1 means the last image


To put the last image to the first, you can do

Code: Select all

convert test.tiff -reverse -clone 0 -delete 0 -reverse test3.tiff

confirmed, thanks so much!!

An alternative method of moving the last image to the first:

Code: Select all

convert in.tiff -insert 0 out.tiff
