Wouldn't this give me 100dpi? I ran this command, and it works. I can't inspect the output image just now, but I did see that it takes two hours. Only one hour was user time, so I guess it spent the other hour swapping. Adding RAM should fix that. I tried -density 600 on two computers, but the gs process failed. I didn't get diagnostics indicating exactly what went wrong. If this is due to a memory size limit, would it be possible to do the conversion in multiple passes? If I can get it to do the top and bottom halves as separate jobs, then I can make it run on two computers at the same time. > In regards to speed, sometimes its as simple as having a modern > processor with plenty of memory. If I determine that one or more super-beefy computers are required for this operation, then I'll simply add it to the customer's cost. :^) But if I find that the work can't be done in a reasonable amount of time, then it is a lost business opportunity. -- Andy Goth | http://andy.junkdrome.org./ ununun...@{aircanopy.net,openverse.com} _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list [email protected] http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
