a) I have multiple ImageMagick commands and I need to convert those multiple commands into one. I tried it by putting all the parameters in single command, but somehow it was not working and I had to discard it.
magick -density 300 cheque25.jpg -depth 8 -strip -background white -alpha off cheque25.png
magick convert cheque25.png -resize 150% res_cheque25.png
magick convert -brightness-contrast 10x30 res_cheque25.png b_res_cheque25.png
magick convert b_res_cheque25.png -threshold 45% bin_res_cheque25.png
b) Also, is there any chance that merged commands will give any different output than multiple single command?
Your ImageMagick syntax is not correct in several ways. In ImageMagick 7, you replace convert with magick. Also your input should come right after magick. ImageMagick 6 is forgiving of syntax, but ImageMagick 7 is not. See http://imagemagick.org/script/porting.php#cli
Try the following:
magick cheque25.jpg -depth 8 -strip -alpha off -background white -resize 150% -brightness-contrast 10x30 -threshold 45% -density 300 bin_res_cheque25.png
If that does not work, then provide a link to your input image, so others can test your commands and verify against mine.
The combined commands should give the same as a properly formatted set of commands, provided no syntax errors are present and settings are reset where needed and parenthesis processing is properly used when and where needed. I make no guarantees, since your set of commands is not using proper syntax.

I'd like to convert an image from .jpg to .png. This works just fine:
convert input.jpg output.png
But, I'm trying to have my output go to STDOUT instead of a file, which the manual says to use "-".
I tried using:
convert input.jpg -.png
But it just creates a file called -.png.
Is it possible to convert an image from one format to another and have it go to STDOUT?
Yes, just use a command like this to convert a JPEG to a PNG on stdout:
magick input.jpg PNG:-
These specifiers work on input as well as output. So, if you have a TIFF on stdin and want a 32-bit RGBA PNG on stdout:
magick TIFF:- PNG32:-
You often need these specifiers to ensure a specific filetype when it is not explicitly given, or you want to use a different extension. So, say you have some CCD device that produces RGB data in a raw binary file called image.bin and you want ImageMagick to read it. You can tell ImageMagick the format without having to change the filename (to image.rgb) like this:
magick -size WxH RGB:image.bin result.png
The possible formats are documented here.
The king of all of these formats is MIFF which is guaranteed to be able to hold any and all things you might throw at it, including floating-point values, transparency, masks, concatenated streams... so if you need a format to pass between ImageMagick commands, MIFF is a good option. An example, just to demonstrate because it is not optimal, might to be to concatenate two images from 2 separate ImageMagick commands into a third command that makes an animated GIF:
{ magick -size 100x60 xc:red miff:- ; magick -size 100x60 xc:blue miff:- ; } | magick -delay 80 miff:- result.gif
I'm trying to convrt RAW image to PNG with Imagemagick.
Imagemagick version I'm using is 6.7.8-9.
The RAW image want to convert is:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V1c-ytjkLaCM3KbAc6Yxj2nfWzNkYohc/view?usp=sharing
My client gave me a big RAW image which contains more than 1000 RAW images and it is generated from Dicom. Firstly, I cropped just one image with the command (crop command did not work somehow, so used convert):
convert -size 512x512 -depth 16 UYVY:original.raw result.raw
result.raw appears good on ImageJ.
Now, I have no idea how to get PNG from it.
I tested some commands:
This one generated a very bad quality:
convert -size 512x512 -depth 16 gray:result.raw result.png
This one gets green-ish image:
convert -size 512x512 -depth 16 uyvy:result.raw result.png
If I open result.raw on ImageJ and save as PNG, it works perfectly.
I got an answer from Imagemagick community. Firstly, below code to get the first image from the original raw was wrong.
convert -size 512x512 -depth 16 UYVY:original.raw result.raw
This is the correct way (512*512*2bytes=524228)
head --bytes 524288 original.raw >firstimage.raw
Then convert to PNG:
magick -size 512x512 -depth 16 gray:firstimage.raw -evaluate AddModulus 50% -auto-level x.png
Here is another way in ImageMagick that I think is more intuitive to your signed raw data. I simply specify the data is signed using -define quantum-format=signed. Then stretch the result to full dynamic range using -auto-level.
convert -size 512x512 -depth 16 -define quantum:format=signed gray:original.raw -auto-level result.png
If using ImageMagick 7, then replace convert with magick.
I'm trying to combine some operations using ImageMagick's magick CLI, specifically two operations that resize/scale the image, a random one that does -resize and a bunch of other stuff, plus the answer from this question (Average image color excluding transparency with Imagemagick).
The naive "mix everything together" doesn't work:
magick image -resize 10x10 ... -scale 1x1! -alpha off -format "%[pixel:u.p]\n" info:
...as I get an answer of "black", because this is obviously ignoring my image and using a blank image instead.
I've also tried with subimages (using \( ... \)) but that has the same problem
The following command works fine for me on ImageMagick 6.9.10.16 Q16. What is your ImageMagick version and what other commands do you need in the command line. You only show ...! What else is there? Also can you post your image? You cannot just put "image" in your command line. You have to specify the actual image file and possibly the path to it.
Input:
convert logo.png -transparent white -resize 50% -scale 1x1! -alpha off -format "%[pixel:u.p]" info:
srgb(100,82,99)
Same with IM 7.0.8.16 Q16 HDRI:
magick logo.png -transparent white -resize 50% -scale 1x1! -alpha off -format "%[pixel:u.p]" info:
srgb(100,81,99)
The slight difference is likely a difference from precision with IM 6 (non-hdri) and IM 7 (with hydra).
I want to watermark an image, so I used compose multiply, but for some reason it doesn't work as expected.
The command:
magick image.jpg over.png -compose multiply -resize 2048x2048 -gravity center -quality 65 -strip -composite out.jpg
The over.png get inverted first and then applied??
If use the same command with and older version of Imagemagick (x32 6.7.6-1 2012-03-17 Q16) I get the expected results.
This was tested with x64 ImageMagick 7.0.5 Q16 under Windows 10.
Ah it seems I can't post all the images.
After a lot of research, turns out it's an artifact of one of the images being a JPEG in CMYK colorspace.
Very weird, but there you go.
Adding '-profile sRGB.icc' to the line should take care of it.
FYI your syntax is not proper. You have separated -compose multiply and -composite with -resize. You should do it this way with nothing between them.
magick image.jpg over.png -gravity center -compose multiply -composite -resize 2048x2048 -strip -quality 65 out.jpg
As you said there will be issues if your input JPG is CMYK and your png will always be sRGB. So you do need to convert the CMYK to sRGB before processing.
I was able to convert my EXR image to a PNG using the techniques outlined in Image conversion from IFF and EXR formats to JPEG format .
convert 0007.exr /tmp/0007.png
Unfortunately the PNG looks quite dim.
What should I add to the imagemagick convert command line to increase the brightness?
Starting with this:
You could try -auto-gamma:
convert start.jpg -auto-gamma result.jpg
If the -auto-gamma overcooks the image for your liking, you could apply a percentage of it. So, here I clone the original image and apply auto-gamma to the clone but then only blend 80% back into the original because I feel auto-gamma overdoes it:
convert start.jpg \( +clone -auto-gamma \) \
-define compose:args=80 -compose blend -composite result.jpg
Or, another option, you could experiment with your particular images and maybe try using -modulate for the brightness, where 100% means "do nothing", so numbers over 100 increase the brightness:
convert start.jpg -define modulate:colorspace=LCHuv -modulate 160 result.jpg
You can try -auto-level, which will take the minimal value and the maximal value of your picture and then stretches the values to the full range of values:
convert input.exr -auto-level output.jpg
Note that if you picture was too bright and this does not help, then it might be that your image is stored with 32 Bit, while ImageMagick is working with 16 Bit and no HDRI support. 32 Bit input is supported if convert --version
either show Q32 as part of the version string or lists HDRI under features.
Depending on your operating system you might be able to install another variant of ImageMagick. For example, for Debian Buster we can use sudo apt list imagemagick* to see that the package imagemagick-6.q16hdri is available. Installing this package provides convert-im6.q16hdri, which allows reading 32 Bit EXR images.
EXR is in linear RGB colorspace. You want to convert it to non-linear sRGB colorspace in Imagemagick as:
Input:
convert image.exr -set colorspace RGB -colorspace sRGB output.png
