I'm trying to apply this code in my ".bat" file and my ASP.net projet:
convert checks.png -matte -virtual-pixel transparent -distort Perspective '0,0,0,0 0,90,0,90 90,0,90,25 90,90,90,65' checks_pers.png
The problem is that the result is like the original, no transformation to see, but i want to have a 3D Cover. I also tried many examples of the tutorial and they work only the distort Perspective?
I installed this version of ImageMagick : ImageMagick-6.7.2-0-Q16-windows-dll
(Answer pulled from OP's comment above)
In Windows we must use double quotes:
convert checks.png -matte -virtual-pixel transparent -distort Perspective "0,0,0,0 0,90,0,90 90,0,90,25 90,90,90,65" checks_pers.png

I want to distort with perspective an image and i want to set it on specific coordinates. I expect him to stand on them, but only the upper left corner stands correctly. Is it possible to make all the corners stand on the coordinates that I specify?
My code:
convert roof.jpg -matte -background none -virtual-pixel background \
-distort Perspective '0,0,541,286 0,1428,82,542 2000,1428,1137,549 2000,0,1306,203' \
roof-pers.png
Example for output:
You need to use +distort in ImageMagick to make it work. Note you can use %[fx:w-1] and %[fx:h-1] for the input.
convert roof.png -background none -virtual-pixel background +distort Perspective "0,0 541,286 0,%[fx:h-1] 82,542 %[fx:w-1],%[fx:h-1] 1137,549 %[fx:w-1],0 1306,203" roof-pers.png
Suppose I have some image a.jpg and some other image b.jpg.
The desired output out.jpg should be obtained by copying all the pixels from b.jpg that are not black onto a.jpg, all other pixels shall remain untouched.
I tried using composite but had no success whatsoever.
EDITED TO ADD: A solution here can be quite simple and generic, but going forward, please remember to always include your version of ImageMagick and which OS or platform you're working on. There are some syntax differences that can make that important.
At the very simplest, using ImageMagick v6, you should be able to do something like this...
convert b.jpg -background none -transparent black a.jpg +swap -composite out.jpg
That reads in the B image, changes all the pure black pixels to transparent, then reads in the A image, swaps the images so they're in the right order, then composites the modified B image over the A image and writes the output.
You can add a fuzz value like "-fuzz 5%" ahead of the "-transparent" operation to expand the selection to include near-black pixels, also.
To use with IMv7 change "convert" to "magick".
Task: i have an input png file (many actually, but i'll just loop the solution). It is 16x16 PNG, 32bit with partial transparency along edges.
It so happens that toolbar of a certain stupid platform requires 17x17 files. My problem is that imagemagick kills transparency when doing simple transformations.
So:
Sanity check:
convert add.png PNG32:add_COPIED.png
creates another 16x16#32bpp file. So far so good.
Transformation (gravity is fine):
convert add.png -extent 17x17 PNG32:add_17.png
creates a file with solid white background. That's not good.
What doesn't work:
I tried a serious number of combinations of transparent, transparent-color, background, alpha and flatten. Got nowhere.
What does work:
convert address_book.png -alpha Extract address_book_MASK.png
convert address_book.png -extent 17x17 PNG32:address_book_17.png
convert address_book_MASK.png -background black -extent 17x17 address_book_MASK17.png
composite -compose CopyOpacity address_book_MASK17.png address_book_17.png PNG32:address_book_FIN.png
While i have a working set of commands and I can get through the day, I honestly believe that this is the wrong way to do things - four commands that create 3 intermediate files that i need to delete later. Surely it can be done in a better way?
Set the background colour before changing the extent:
convert input.png -background none -extent WxH result.png
I have several pictures of a landscape.
Using the ImageMagick CLI on OSX, I would like to distort and overlay them properly.
I have looked for distortion coordinates between several of the pictures and a reference picture. I fail to understand the diference between -distort and +distort and how it plays with +repage. When I use -distort, the output has the desired offset but it's incomplete (it needs to be bigger). When I use +distort, I get the full image but it's missing the offset.
Reading the documentation I understand that I could do without the offset if I did the overlay composition in the same command before the offset information is lost but what's happening is that the distort is being applied to both the reference and the distorted images.
This is the result of using -distort:
This is the result of using +distort:
The offset of the -distort result would work once I apply it as an overlay (here using the composite in a separate command, but it's missing a big chunk of the picture.
When I tried to consolidate it in a single command this is the result I get:
This is the command I'm currently using:
convert base.jpg overlay.jpg
-matte -virtual-pixel transparent -distort Perspective '961,1695 1856,2461 2279,1520 3185,2303 3564,2173 4441,2970 1547,2817 2441,3594'
-compose blend -define compose:args=50,100 -composite result.jpg
I understand I could use parenthesis there but I fail to see where should I put them.
Thanks!
Update: this is the result of the overlay when using +distort either in two steps or in a single step as recommended by Mark.
The solution was to use -flatten instead of -composite.
convert base.jpg \( b.jpg -matte -virtual-pixel transparent +distort Perspective '961,1695 1856,2461 2279,1520 3185,2303 3564,2173 4441,2970 1547,2817 2441,3594' \) -compose blend -define compose:args=100,50 -flatten result.jpg
Turns out that -composite ignores the image offsets whereas -flatten works with layers and uses the offset information.
The suggestion came from this thread: http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?t=20157
This is the documentation to flatten (link broken in the discussion above): http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/layers/#flatten
Not sure I understand the issues, but would suggest you try this (untested):
convert base.jpg \
\( overlay.jpg -matte -virtual-pixel transparent -distort Perspective '961,1695 1856,2461 2279,1520 3185,2303 3564,2173 4441,2970 1547,2817 2441,3594' \) \
-define compose:args=50,100 -compose blend -composite result.jpg
That would mean that the perspective distortion is only applied to the overlay, not the base. So, in the code above, the first line only processes the base image, the second line only processes the overlay, and the final line blends the two.
I have a wallpaper.jpg (size: 1920x1280) and a partly transparent tile.gif (size: 16x16).
On a website I want to have the tile as a x- and y-repeated overlay over the wallpaper.
Right now, this overlay is realized using CSS. I want to save one request and merge the (repeated) tile.png with the wallpaper.jpg using ImageMagick. The wallpaper.jpg is generated via ImageMagick anyway.
Following the Documentation of the -tile option, I came up with the following command:
convert wallpaper.jpg -size 1920x1280 tile:tile.gif -compose over -composite result.jpg
The result, however, is a 1920x1280 jpg filled with the tile, but no wallpaper shining through. Instead, the transparent part of the tile seem to be white.
The documentation says:
If the tile image is partially transparent then a 'Over' "-compose" method will need to be specified.
So what's wrong?
I also tried -flatten instead of -composite... same result.
edit:
I realize, there is also another -tile option documentation. It seems to follow the concept of overloading. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to use it correctly.
This should do the trick:
convert wallpaper.jpg -background none -size 1920x1280 tile:tile.gif -composite result.jpg
(you can also add -compose over, but that should not make any difference).
Not sure if it will help, but have you tried converting your tile.gif to a 24-bit PNG file with Alpha/Transparency? - Scratch that....
I found some example showing but am unsure about the full command line:
composite -tile tile.gif netscape: wallpaper.jpg
