ImageMagick change all images to preset size with DPI - imagemagick

Trying to use imagemagick to have all images set to a preset size like a letterhead (8 1/2x11) for example... id prefer to not use resize and trying to get them to a 100 dpi setting... Im personally not very good with imagemagick and after 2 days of searching around Ive got it mostly complete?
for f in `ls *jpg`; do
convert -compress Group4 -type bilevel \
-depth 100 -units PixelsPerInch \
-monochrome -resize 850X1100 $f 2-$f;
done
Anyone have any further pointers on this?

You would use -density option to set the DPI.
for f in `ls *jpg`
do
convert -compress Group4 \
-type bilevel \
-depth 100 \
-units PixelsPerInch
-monochrome \
-resize 850X1100 \
-density 100 \
$f 2-$f
done
You can verify by using the identify utility.
identify -format "%x x %y" some_image.jpg
Edit:
As Birei pointed out. You can use "*.jpg" wildcard to iterate over the files in a directory, and quoting the output file name would be important for file names with spaces. You can use Filename Percent Escapes to create & preserve source image information.
convert *.jpg \
-compress Group4 \
-type bilevel \
-depth 100 \
-units PixelsPerInch
-monochrome \
-resize 850X1100 \
-density 100 \
-set filename:f '%f' \
'2-%[filename:f]'
The -set filename:f '%f' will preserver the original file name w/ proper escaping, and '2-%[filename:f]' will write the 'f' value with custom prefix '2-'. No need to use Bash for-loop.

Convert PDF to Image(s) with different resolution using ImageMagick

I have to convert the pdf file (with more text) to images with different resolution.
I am executing the following commands:
width:1024px
convert -density 150 -antialias -resize 1024x -quality 80 "${inputFilePath}" "${outputFilePath}"
width:720px
convert -density 150 -antialias -resize 720x -quality 80 "${inputFilePath}" "${outputFilePath}"
width:320px
convert -density 150 -antialias -resize 320x -quality 80 "${inputFilePath}" "${outputFilePath}"
The generated images are not clear.
Can you help me to understand what I have to change?
Thanks in advance.
Increase your density to get better quality. -antialias will not help in your ImageMagick command. It is only used when adding new text. Put the density after convert and then put the input. Put your quality after the input and before the output. Use parenthesis processing with clones to generate all 3 results in one convert command.
convert -density 300 input \
\( -clone 0 -resize 1024x -quality 80 +write output1 \) \
\( -clone 0 -resize 720x -quality 80 +write output2 \) \
\( -clone 0 -resize 320x -quality 80 +write output3 \) \

Crop page from facing-page scan

Suppose I want to crop just the left pages from facing-page scans of a spiral notebook like the example below (from Paolini.net).
Is there a more robust way than simply dividing the image's width by half? For example, a smarter algorithm would detect the spiral binding and make that the right boundary and even exclude black area to the left of the page.
If there's a relatively easy way to do this with OpenCV or ImageMagick, I'd love to learn it.
One possible way in ImageMagick 6 with Unix scripting is to do the following:
Trim the image to remove most of the black on the sides
Scale the image down to 1 row, then scale up to 50 rows just for visualization
Threshold the scaled image so that you get the black region down the spine as the largest black region
Do connected components process to find the x coordinate of the largest black region
Crop the image according to the results from the connected components
Input:
convert img.jpg -fuzz 25% -trim +repage img_trim.png
convert img_trim.png -scale x1! -scale x50! -threshold 80% img_trim_x1.png
centx=$(convert img_trim_x1.png -type bilevel \
-define connected-components:mean-color=true \
-define connected-components:verbose=true \
-connected-components 4 null: | \
grep "gray(0)" | head -n 1 | awk '{print $3}' | cut -d, -f1)
convert img_trim.png -crop ${centx}x+0+0 img_result.jpg
Data from connected components has the following header and structure:
Objects (id: bounding-box centroid area mean-color):
So head -n 1 gets the first black, i.e. gray(0) region which is the largest (sorted largest to smallest). The awk prints the 3rd entry, centroid, and the cut gets the x component.
If using ImageMagick 7, then change convert to magick
If you want to exclude the binders in the middle, then use the x-offset of the bounding box from the connected components listing:
convert img_trim.png -scale x1! -scale x50! -threshold 80% img_trim_x1.png
leftcenterx=$(convert img_trim_x1.png -type bilevel \
-define connected-components:mean-color=true \
-define connected-components:verbose=true \
-connected-components 4 null: | \
grep "gray(0)" | head -n 1 | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d+ -f2 | cut -d+ -f1)
convert img_trim.png -crop ${leftcenterx}x+0+0 img_result2.jpg
If you want just both pages, then we can find the white regions, i.e. gray(255) and crop them according to the width and x offset from the bounding boxes.
convert img.jpg -fuzz 25% -trim +repage img_trim.png
convert img_trim.png -scale x1! -scale x50! -threshold 80% img_trim_x1.png
OLDIFS=$IFS
IFS=$'\n'
bboxArr=(`convert img_trim_x1.png -type bilevel \
-define connected-components:mean-color=true \
-define connected-components:area-threshold=100 \
-define connected-components:verbose=true \
-connected-components 4 null: | \
grep "gray(255)" | awk '{print $2}'`)
IFS=$OLDIFS
num=${#bboxArr[*]}
for ((i=0; i<num; i++)); do
WW=`echo ${bboxArr[$i]} | cut -dx -f1`
Xoff=`echo ${bboxArr[$i]} | cut -d+ -f2`
convert img_trim.png -crop ${WW}x+${Xoff}+0 img_result3_$i.jpg
done

Multiple converts from one source using imagemagick

Is it possible to have one source and from that have 2 types of processed images with different configurations? (and not to read the source image twice)?
Something like
convert input.jpg -resize 300 output1.jpg -resize 600 output2.jpg
Sure, use an intermediate -write like this, and do the big one first:
convert input.jpg -resize 600 -write im600.jpg -resize 300 im300.jpg
Or, if you want to start afresh with each operation:
convert input.png \
\( +clone -resize 300 -write result300.jpg \) \
\( +clone -resize 600 -write result600.jpg \) null:
If using GraphicsMagick, I am not sure if there is a better way than the following:
#!/bin/bash
{ echo convert input.png mpr:orig;
echo convert mpr:orig -resize 300 result300.jpg;
echo convert mpr:orig -resize 600 result600.jpg; } | gm batch -prompt off
This is a slightly different version that only invokes convert twice:
#!/bin/bash
cat - <<EOF | gm batch -prompt off
convert input.png -write mpr:orig -resize 300 result300.jpg
convert mpr:orig -resize 600 result600.jpg
EOF

Generate thumbnails for only the first frame of animated gif with mogrify

How to modify this code so mogrify will generate thumbnails only for the first frame of animated gifs?:
mogrify -resize 80x80 -background white -gravity center -extent 80x80 -format jpg -quality 75 -path thumbnails *.gif
The select frame notation would be [N] immediately after the filename; where N is the frame number you wish to select. See Selecting Frames section under the input filename examples.
mogrify -resize 80x80 \
-background white \
-gravity center \
-extent 80x80 \
-format jpg \
-quality 75 \
-path thumbnails \
*.gif[0]

ImageMagick: How to resize proportionally with mogrify without a background

I was following this example http://cubiq.org/create-fixed-size-thumbnails-with-imagemagick, and it's exactly what I want to do with the image, with the exception of having the background leftovers (i.e. the white borders). Is there a way to do this, and possibly crop the white background out? Is there another way to do this? The re-size needs to be proportional, so I don't just want to set a width re-size limit or height limit, but proportionally re-size the image.
The example you link to uses this command:
mogrify \
-resize 80x80 \
-background white \
-gravity center \
-extent 80x80 \
-format jpg \
-quality 75 \
-path thumbs \
*.jpg
First, mogrify is a bit dangerous. It manipulates your originals inline, and it overwrites the originals. If something goes wrong you have lost your originals, and are stuck with the wrong-gone results. In your case the -path thumbs however alleviates this danger, because makes sure the results will be written to sub directory thumbs
Another ImageMagick command, convert, can keep your originals and do the same manipulation as mogrify:
convert \
input.jpg \
-resize 80x80 \
-background white \
-gravity center \
-extent 80x80 \
-quality 75 \
thumbs/output.jpg
If want the same result, but just not the white canvas extensions (originally added to make the result a square 80x80 image), just leave away the -extent 80x80 parameter (the -background white and gravity center are superfluous too):
convert \
input.jpg \
-resize 80x80 \
-quality 75 \
thumbs/output.jpg
or
mogrify \
-resize 80x80 \
-format jpg \
-quality 75 \
-path thumbs \
*.jpg
I know this is an old thread, but by using the -write flag with the -set flag, one can write to files in the same directory without overwriting the original files:
mogrify -resize 80x80 \
-set filename:name "%t_small.%e" \
-write "%[filename:name]" \
*.jpg
As noted at http://imagemagick.org/script/escape.php, %t is the filename without extension and %e is the extension. So the output of image.jpg would be a thumbnail image_small.jpg.
This is the command I use each time I want to batch resized everything to 1920x and keep aspect ratio.
mogrify -path . -resize 1920x1920 -format "_resized.jpg" -quality 70 *.jpg
