I'm running into a strange bug that I cannot reproduce locally. But on Google Cloud Functions, the same text usually does the same thing, but it too has been somewhat of a rolling issue - sometimes it happens, then magically goes away.
Here's a sample of the convert call and the resulting corrupt text:
convert -background none -stroke "rgb(0, 0, 0, 0.0)" -fill "rgba(255, 255, 255, 1)" -font ./fonts/FrederickatheGreat-Regular.ttf -pointsize 68 label:"Carly" -trim \( +clone -background "rgba(135, 138, 140, 0.59)" -shadow 80x8+8+10 \) +swap -background none -layers merge +repage -rotate 0 /tmp/1057522377634683.png
The version of ImageMagick running on GCF is:
convert -version: Version: ImageMagick 6.8.9-9 Q16 x86_64 2017-07-15

cairo djvu fftw fontconfig freetype jbig jng jpeg lcms lqr ltdl lzma
openexr pangocairo png rsvg tiff wmf x xml zlib
I have the same version of Imagemagick on my local machine, but cannot reproduce the text corruption. I suspect it could be with the compile version that's live on Google (note the 2017-7-15 compile date)
I'm hoping someone has run into this in the past and knows what an easy fix is - is it an issue with supplying RGBA values, .png output type, etc.
The issue was with the -stoke option without a -strokewidth being set - also I'm not 100% sure whether or not label supports those or not, I'll have to test later. But my solution was to remove the -stroke from the command and the font characters stopped being corrupt.

According to the ImageMagick documentation, I would expect this:
convert fountain-pen1.jpg fountain-pen2.jpg handwriting.jpg -resize 400x400\> -set filename:f '%t_smol.%e' '%[filename:f]'
to result in fountain-pen1_smol.jpg fountain-pen2_smol.jpg handwriting_smol.jpg.
Instead, it only creates fountain-pen1_smol.jpg.
What am I doing wrong here?
I've also tried with just *.jpg which results in the same output.
convert -version

Mmm... sometimes you need to give ImageMagick a hint to create more output files than it is expecting to, using +adjoin:
convert fountain-pen1.jpg fountain-pen2.jpg handwriting.jpg -resize 400x400\> -set filename:f '%t_smol.%e' +adjoin '%[filename:f]'
It guesses this if you put a %02d or somesuch in the filename, but doesn't know that for your use case.
With ImageMagick you'll generally need to set that "filename:" variable right after reading in the images. Try this...
convert img1.jpg img2.jpg img3.jpg \
-set filename:f "%[t]_smol.%[e]" -resize 400x400\> "%[filename:f]"
That reads in the images, sets those output filenames right away, then performs the resizing operation, then writes the output files with the given names. Be aware that changing the order of the list or the number of images within the command can create unexpected results.
I've used this command successfully with IM 6.8.9 in bash. It works with 6.9 and 7.0 versions in Windows by changing the continued-line backslashes "\" to carets "^", and deleting the backslash and putting the resize "400x400>" inside double quotes.
I have a simple ImageMagick command that uses -contrast which is well-documented here: https://imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#contrast
My command:
magick in.jpg -enhance -contrast -background white -quality 100 -resize 200x200^ -gravity center -extent 200x200 out.jpg
But I'm getting this error: magick: option has been replaced '-contrast', use "-level" at CLI arg 3 # warning/operation.c/CLISimpleOperatorImage/2078.
I'm using ImageMagick 7.0.9-7 Q16 x86_64 2019-12-02.

So... why is it complaining about the -contrast option? It looks like -contrast is still there, and I don't see how -level is supposed to replace it. There's nothing I can find about -contrast being replaced/removed. It's very strange.
** UPDATE - even I can see right here in the code where that error message is generated. However, I can't see why it's doing that, and as I said, can't find anything in any documentation that implies -contrast should not be used.
So I am trying to display an Arabic word using ImageMagick.
This is my code:
convert -size 1144x800 -background transparent -font "arabic_reg.ttf" -encoding Unicode label:#arabic.utf8 "oops.png"
#arabic.utf8 is saved in utf-8 and arabic_reg.ttf is an arabic font.
This is the result
letters are detached and inverted
adding -direction right-to-left doesn't seem to help also.
I am running ImageMagick 6.9.6-2 on mac.

Ran into the same problem, you gotta use pango and install the fonts in your system :)
I'm trying to montage some semi-transparent icons into one image using imagemagicks montage tool.
Unfortunately, after every operation with alpha a bit of black is showing everywhere on anti-aliased edges.
For example, these two icons:
and
After issuing
montage 1.png 2.png -background none montage.png
Result in:
I've tried numerous combinations of alpha, background and changing option order and haven't found a way to prevent this. Any idea?
My system is windows 8.1+cygwin, montage version is:
$ montage -version

This looks like a version-specific bug, as the given command works fine on ImageMagick 6.9.1-10 and also using:

I'm trying to convert an image with imagemagick, but I'm getting this error:
convert: no decode delegate for this image format
`/tmp/magick-XXITXcTr' # constitute.c/ReadImage/503.
I'm doing this:
convert http://images.icecat.biz/img/norm/high/12003462-2669.jpg -bordercolor white -border 1x1 -matte -fill none -fuzz 7% -draw 'matte 1,1 floodfill' -shave 1x1 /myimagefolder/iphone.png
I have the following delegates:

Anyone knows what the problem is?
This is happening because the image you are trying to download no longer exists and returns a 404. ImageMagick creates a temporary file before it downloads the image. But this file will remain empty because the download fails for this image. ImageMagick will try to read the image but fails because it cannot handle empty files.
