i'm having a large jpg, which has a resolution of x * 256 / x * 256. I want to cut this image into 256x256 tiles with a naming convention {zoom}-{x}-{y}.jpg. In the past i've used ZoomifyExpress Converter which does the cutting and zooming. I also want 6 different zoom levels. I've started so far with this command:
convert example.jpg -crop 256x256 +gravity -set filename:tile
./tiles/%[fx:page.x/256]-%[fx:page.y/256] %[filename:tile].jpg
This produces a lot of x-y.jpg tiles.I don't know how i can add different zoomlevels. I'm relativly new to ImageMagick and this feels like a basic thing to do. Hopefully somebody can help me out. Thanks in advance.
I found the solution:
I just resize the image to the appropriate size and then crop it. The first number in the filename is the zoom level.
convert example.jpg -resize 256x256 -crop 256x256 -set filename:tile
./tiles/0-%[fx:page.x/256]-%[fx:page.y/256] %[filename:tile].jpg
convert example.jpg -resize 512x512 -crop 256x256 -set filename:tile
./tiles/1-%[fx:page.x/(256)]-%[fx:page.y/(256)] %[filename:tile].jpg
.. and so on until i reach the highest resolution.

I've got an 540x540 image of 54x54 color squares (same sizes).
When I resize it to 54x54px it looks horrible (blurred), shouldn't a resize like this be perfectly done with imagemagick?
is I possible to get it perfect?
I've tested convert source.png -resize destination.png and -adaptive-resize but the result is the same..
I see what your confusion is now... the problem is not that the process is lossy, rather it is because the -resize is doing more sophisticated processing than you want in order to make an attractive job that you would want for, say, photographs. You want a very simple point sampling process which will produce simple blocks of pure, uncombined colour.
I'll make a start image:
magick -size 10x10 xc:red +noise random -scale 540x540 start.png
And scale it down, by taking a point sample in each block:
magick start.png -sample 10x10 small.png
And back up:
magick result.png -scale 540x540 reincarnated.png
I'm trying to crop an image into a bunch of 256x256 tiles (with the right-most and bottom-most images less than 256 pixels due to the remainders), but ImageMagick always generates images that are 1x1.
I use this command (Windows 7 command prompt):
convert WBS.png -crop 256x256 +repage +adjoin output\WBS_%02d.jpg
After cropping the following message is displayed:
convert: geometry does not contain image `WBS.png' # warning/transform.c/CropImage/589.
After cropping, the output folder contains 1634 jpg files, all of which are 1 x 1 pixel. The source image is 7218x7650.
Suggestions? I'm sure I'm making some blatant mistake, but I don't know what it is.
This can happen if the origin of the image is not at 0,0. In that case, using +repage before processing the image should do the trick, i.e.
convert WBS.png +repage -crop 256x256 +repage +adjoin output\WBS_%02d.jpg
See also the documentation of the -crop option.
There is a bunch of images that represent the pages, scanned from a book and already cropped with ImageMagic. They are all uniform, 629x625 pixels. I need to process them further to prepare for creation of a PDF: split them into odd and even pages. They are named canvas-00.png through canvas-53.png
When I use the following command to get the odd pages first, I get completely butchered images 275x563 pixels extracted from a wrong horizontal offset:
convert canvas-??.png -crop 314x625+0+0 ~/Pictures/odd/canvas.png
What am I doing wrong?
PS: Originally the images were larger, contained extra margins with scanner's lid visible, and I successfully cropped them to 629x625 using a very similar command, but of course with non-zero offset of +140+71. So it baffles me that a visibly more trivial command with zero offset does not work at all.
I suspect you have page offsets "remembered" in your PNG files and you need to clear them.
As an example, let's create an image 500x300 pixels:
convert xc:red xc:lime +append \
\( xc:blue xc:magenta +append \) -append -resize 500x300\! start.png
Now let's crop out a piece towards the bottom right corner, which I intentionally made magenta so you can see which piece I got:
convert start.png -crop 200x100+250+150 z.png
But if we now look at it with identify you can see it "remembers" where it was in the original picture:
identify z.png
Output
z.png PNG 200x100 500x300+250+150 16-bit sRGB 51.1KB 0.000u 0:00.000
This will then potentially affect (i.e. mess up) anything you do in future with the image. The solution is to use +repage to reset all the page geometry and layout so it forgets. You can either do this when cropping, or when using the cropped image later - depending whether you want to retain the crop information or not. (Sometimes you do want it when you are doing jigsaw puzzle processing and maybe want to reassemble the pieces later).
convert start.png -crop 200x100+250+150 +repage z.png
identify z.png
z.png PNG 200x100 200x100+0+0 16-bit sRGB 51.1KB 0.000u 0:00.000
In your case, if you already cropped and saved without repaging, you can load your images and repage prior to actual use:
convert canvas-??.png +repage -crop 817x1040+0+0 ~/Pictures/odd/canvas.png
I have images of unknown size and ratios. I wish to take a centred 16:9 crop.
If all the images were known 4:3, then it's easy: 9/16 รท 3/4 = 0.75 so I simply set the height to 75% of the original like this:
convert photo.jpg -gravity center -crop '100%x75%' +repage photo16x9.jpg
However, if the photo is already 16:9 (or even wider), I don't want to crop it, and if it is 'taller' than 16:9 I want to crop it only by the amount necessary to achieve a 16:9 crop.
This would be also easier if I wanted to scale to a known width or height (example question for that). But I'm looking to leave as much of the original image data in place as poss.
Therefore I'm looking for a way to crop the height to a factor of the image's width, with a cut-off.
I hoped this might work
convert photo.jpg -gravity center \
-crop '100%x[fx:9/16*w]' +repage photo16x9.jpg
but alas it seems the [fx:...] is not allowed in a -crop argument.
Hacking a bit I found somewhere that I could not for the life of me understand(!) also failed, but I'll list it here to show research effort!
convert photo.jpg -set option:distort:viewport \
'[fx: w]x[fx: w*9/16 ]+0+0' -filter point \
-distort SRT 0 +repage photo16x9.jpg
(I realise that neither attempts above cover the case when the image is already wider than 16:9, but if the [fx:...] thing worked I could achieve that by using the ternary operator, so I kept the examples simple.)
Maybe you can just calculate the aspect ratio and use that to make a decision. Create two test images, one 15x9 and one 17x9:
convert -size 15x9 xc:black 15x9.png
convert -size 17x9 xc:black 17x9.png
Now ask ImageMagick to tell you if the aspect ratio is wider than 16:9 or less than or equal to 16:9:
convert 15x9.png -format "%[fx:(w/h)>16/9]" info:
0
convert 17x9.png -format "%[fx:(w/h)>16/9]" info:
1
I've read the ImageMagick documentation here and here and been unable to achieve a couple of simple tasks. Would appreciate any simple pointers or direction, or even commands I can execute that will work on Linux.
I want to convert any image-type (JPG, GIF, PNG, TIFF) to save to a PNG, losslessly, and as compressed as possible without any loss of quality. Ideally in 96 DPI so they look good in Retina screens.
To then take the above generated PNG and also resize it in specific sizes, with height and width specified.
What am I missing with the convert command?
If you want to convert a TIF, GIF or JPEG to PNG, the command is:
convert image.tif result.png
or
convert image.jpg result.png
In answer to your questions...
Question 1
PNG is lossless by definition, so that is not an issue. To get better compression of a PNG, you generally need to reduce the colours, i.e.
convert image.jpg -colors 64 result.png # or try 255 which allows a palettised image
The dpi is pretty irrelevant until you print on paper. More pixels are needed if you want more quality on screen.
Question 2
If you want to resize an image without destroying its aspect ratio, use
convert image.jpg -resize 200x100 result.png # retain aspect ratio
If you don't care if that makes the image look stretched or distorted, and you want exactly 200x100, tell ImageMagick that you really mean it by shouting:
convert image.jpg -resize 200x100! result.png # ignore aspect ratio
