thank you so much Fred, that did the trick! A follow-up question if you know it, I am noticing some weirdness in the rendered image. What I mean is, the colors are not right. I have a solid green color of #48BD60 on my original (pre-joined) images... however, the joined output is not percisely this value.... it is close, but at least 3 or 4 variations of that hex code are in the output file :( Do you know why this may be the case? Is there some setting to make it create a perfect rendition?
That is because you have taken two jpg images and created another jpg image. Each time you create a new jpg there is some further compression. IM compresses by default about 80% quality. So you change the colors some. The best thing would be to take your original images and form a new one in a different format such as png which does not compress by default. Alternately you can tell IM to make the final image at 100% quality level.
convert image1.jpg image2.jpg +append image3.png convert image1.jpg image2.jpg +append -quality 100 image3.jpg See the documentation that Anthony Thyssen has developed at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/reference.html http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/ and of course also http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php
Lastly, I had one seperate question which should shore me up. (Thank you for this group---and your time!). Let's say I have a single 200x200 image, and want to create a 300x200 image using that 200x200 image, centered within that new space, & with a specified color value for it (the extra 50 pixels on each side of the input image being created). How would this be done? :-) :-)
convert image1.jpg -bordercolor "whatevercolor" -border 50x50 image2.jpg for colors see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#fill http://imagemagick.org/script/color.php also another place to get help is at http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/ _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list [email protected] http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
