I am on CentOS 6.4 and trying to convert .CDR to .SVG Convert Using ImageMagick using SSH command.
my 1.cdr file is in /var/www/vhosts/website.com/httpdocs/test/1.cdr
once converted to SVG it should be created in the same folder
Tried the following command:
convert /var/www/vhosts/website.com/httpdocs/test/1.cdr image.svg
The Error I am getting is:
sh: mplayer: command not found convert: Delegate failed "mplayer"
"%i" -really-quiet -ao null -vo png:z=3' #
delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1032. convert: missing an image filename
image.svg' # convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2800.
Not sure what does that mean ?
In order to convert CDR files you need to install uniconvertor for CDR delegate.
List of all delegates:
convert -list delegate
By default it outputs:
cdr => "uniconvertor" "%i" "%o.svg"; mv "%o.svg" "%o"
Install uniconvertor. For example, on Ubuntu it’s:
sudo apt-get install python-uniconvertor
Then run:
convert image.cdr -flatten -thumbnail '512x512' image.png
Or, with zoom cropping:
convert image.cdr -flatten -thumbnail '512x512^' -gravity center -crop 512x512+0+0 +repage image.png
And you’re done.
I convert to PNG here but you may use your own output format.
python-uniconvertor is part of inkscape.
It does not exist by itself.
Ubuntu/Mint recently removed all the old Python stuff, for Corel Draw I have to fire up the WinXP VM & Corel and export something Linux understands, usually PNG, a favourite
CDR & WMF files are pretty much dead to Linux, ImageMagick can still handle WMF though.

I used to be able to convert text to an image using ImageMagick but now I get this error message:
$ echo text | convert -background none text:- file
convert: no encode delegate for this image format `TEXT' # error/constitute.c/WriteImage/1167.
ImageMagick was installed using Homebrew

In IM 7, convert is replaced by magick. You also have not specified an output image format for "file". Try this:
echo "text" | magick -background none text:- file.png
or
echo "text" | magick -background none text:- PNG32:file
That works for me on IM 7.0.7.10 Q16 Mac OSX
What do you get from
magick -version
Does it include freetype?
If not, then you probably need to install Freetype with ImageMagick via Homebrew
I am running a project with these software versions:
Paperclip 4.2.0
Rails 4.0.4
RHEL 6
convert -version => ImageMagick 6.8.9-9
convert -list configure =>
DELEGATES bzlib mpeg freetype jng jpeg lcms png ps tiff x zlib
and am getting this error while processing images through Paperclip.

Here is the command output:

This error is caught on the Thumbnail processor in the make method.
The most confusing part of this is that I set a debugger when this error is caught, copied the src tmpfile to a permanent location outside my project and ran the exact same convert command as above and it runs successfully with exit status 0.
My next step in debugging would probably to bundle open cocaine, but I think there is something higher level going wrong... Hoping someone has run into this before?
I don't get the same problem on OSX.
You may have multiple installations of ImageMagick installed. You can check at the command line like so:
$ which -a convert
If you do have multiple installations, and Paperclip is referencing the "wrong" one, Paperclip allows you to specify the path to seek. As from the Paperclip README:
In development mode, you might add this line to config/environments/development.rb:
Paperclip.options[:command_path] = "/usr/local/bin/"
Download latest version of ImageMagick. Unpacked it. Installing Ghostscript like this:
$ sudo apt-get install ghostscript
After that try to configure ImageMagick:
$ ./configure --with-gslib
$ make
$ make install
After that i try to conver PDF to jpg
$ sudo /usr/local/bin/convert in.pdf out.jpg
And i see this mistake
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `/tmp/magick-BzHdr4Kp-00000001' # error/constitute.c/ReadImage/544.
convert: Postscript delegate failed `in.PDF': Нет такого файла или каталога # error/pdf.c/ReadPDFImage/678.
convert: no images defined `out.jpg' # error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3044.
What i'm doing wrong?
Try the following convert commands to see more precisely what's possibly going wrong:
convert a.pdf -debug coder a.jpg
convert a.pdf -debug all a.jpg
There will possibly be a lot of output going to stderr. Amongst the lines you may see where IM is looking for Ghostscript. Also, try
convert -list delegate
convert -list delegate | grep --color -E '(eps|pdf)'
to find with which exact commandlines ImageMagick tries to run Ghostscript (it may call gsx instead of gs, or it may look for it in /usr/local/bin/...). If you find any deviations from your real Ghostscript installation, you can possibly fix it by editing delegates.xml.
convert -list configure
will show you how ImageMagick is configured (and if, for example, gs was during compile-time in the list in DELEGATES variables). Here you also find where to look for delegates.xml:
convert -list configure | grep CONFIGURE_PATH
should list the directory where this (as well as some more) *.xml settings files are located which control how convert et al. behave...
How to convert a JPEG image into SVG format using ImageMagick?
you'll need to use potrace and convert to a bitmap first.
$convert input.jpg output.ppm
$potrace -s output.ppm -o svgout.svg
Actually, with a complete installation of a recent version of ImageMagick it should be as easy as:
convert some.jpeg some.svg
Of course, ImageMagick cannot do it all by itself -- it uses delegates (helper programs) to handle SVG input or output. (This has been pointed out by other answers already.)
To see a (partial) list of all delegates (and their respective commands), run
convert -list delegate
To see the config file where all the delegate secrets hide, see
convert -list delegate | grep delegates.xml
To see a (partial) list of SVG handling delegates, run
convert -list delegate | grep -i svg
However, ImageMagick likes to put some of its external helper utilities into 'stealth' mode and doesn't necessarily reveal their presence when using above commands.
Just look into the delegates.xml file itself. On my system it's:
grep -i svg /opt/local/etc/ImageMagick/delegates.xml | grep -i --color stealth
<delegate decode="autotrace" stealth="True" \
command=""/opt/local/bin/convert" "%i" \
"pnm:%u"\n\
"/opt/local/bin/autotrace" \
-input-format pnm \
-output-format svg \
-output-file "%o" "%u""/>
<delegate decode="svg:decode" stealth="True" \
command=""/opt/local/bin/inkscape" "%s" \
--export-png="%s" \
--export-dpi="%s" \
--export-background="%s" \
--export-background-opacity="%s" \
> "%s" 2>&1"/>
As you may see, on my system the ImageMagick installation automatically uses (amongst others)...
...inkscape to convert SVG to PNG;
...autotrace to convert PNM to SVG;
Of course, one could argue the benefits of rather using autotrace directly -- but that would require to manually convert the whatever-input-format to PNM first. So for this preliminary step you'd probably use ImageMagick anyway...
You'll actually need some software or code to vectorize your image in between, as jpg is a raster format, while SVG is a vector format. I don't think imagemagick alone can do that for you.
I am generating thumbnails and medium sized images from large photos. These smaller photos are for display in an online gallery. Many of the photographers are submitting JPEG images using Adobe RGB. I have been asked if the thumbnail and medium size images can use sRGB as the images as is appear "flat" in some browsers.
I'm currently using ImageMagick to create the smaller versions. It has a -colorspace option, but that doesn't seem to do what I want.
Is there any other way to do this? Also, do you think this is worthwhile?
You can use the ImageMagic -profile option:
convert image.jpg -profile <adobe.icc> -profile <sRGB.icc> new_image.jpg
See here for more details:
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#color_profile.
Have you tried using Little CMS? This command will convert an image with a special color profile (i.e. Adobe RGB 1998) to one with no color profile but the same effective colors:
jpgicc -q100 input.jpg output.jpg
I'm setting JPEG quality to 100 here.
The following thread in the ImageMagick forum discusses exactly this in some detail: http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=16464
I now use this bash script to convert any picture (including CMYK) to sRGB:
http://alma.ch/scripts/any2srgb
It requires icc profiles for images which don't have embedded profiles. These can be found easily on the web. For example on Adobe's site: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?term=icc+profile&siteSection=support%3Adownloads
Here is a summary (untested) of what the full script does (without it's resize and other options). It requires profiles and ImageMagick. On Debian-based systems: apt-get install icc-profiles imagemagick.
#!/bin/bash
srgb=sRGB.icm
cmyk=ISOwebcoated.icc
# extract possible color profile
profile="${f/%.*/.icc}"
convert "$f" "icc:$profile" 2>/dev/null
if cmp -s "$profile" "$srgb" ; then
# embedded profile is already srgb. Nothing to do
exit
fi
if [ -s "$profile" ]; then
# we have an embedded profile, so ImageMagick will use that anyway
convert "$f" -profile "$srgb" +profile '*' "$outfile"
else
# no embedded profile in source
if identify -format "%r" "$f" | grep -q CMYK; then
# CMYK file without embedded profile
convert "$f" -profile "$cmyk" -profile "$srgb" "$outfile"
fi
fi
Re-exporting the image using Krita seems to work well enough for me:
krita my_img.jpg --export --export-filename my_img_in_srgb.jpg
Krita is an open source Photoshop/Paint, with a(n extremely limited) command line interface. Install it with
sudo apt install krita
