Hi all, I realise that this can probably be done more efficiently but I've chosen to create a file for each of the captions and then stitch them back together using the -append & +append options. This gives me the flexibility to put the captions on any of the four edges as I could need to put th...

Thanks for your help. I'll pick this up in the morning and post what I come up with.

Thanks,
Nik

I would like to be able to add a caption to the top or bottom or both, depending on what the user inputs.

Thanks,
Nik

That works great.

Is it possible to also append to the bottom of the input image? maybe -gravity South or something?

Thanks,
Nik

Thanks for your reply. I wander if it would be simpler to create a caption label and then add it to the top of the original image? convert -background '#800000' -fill '#FFAEB9' -font Arial -pointsize 18 -size 300x30 -gravity Center caption:'this is my text' output.jpg as this seems to centre the tex...

Hi all, is there an option or calculation to vertically centre annotated text? Here is my command: /opt/local/bin/convert input.jpg -gravity North -background '#800000' -splice 0x30 -font 'AvantGarde-Book' -fill '#FFAEB9' -pointsize '18' -annotate +0+3 'this is my text' output.jpg The thing to bare ...

Hi Fred, I have found a solution to my colour issues and that is to bypass IM and just use ghostscript! The below code gives me a lowres PDF with the colours correct and keeps the vectors as vectors: gs -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sProc...

Hi Fred, thanks for your feedback and I can see that your second result is a lot closer than mine. IM seems to be having problems with profiles though. I ran the below: convert -density 150 -colorspace sRGB '/home/imageuser/Desktop/Populate_Input/32-14-125-TRIAL-TRR.pdf' -profile '/home/imageuser/De...

Hi Fred, Thanks for your response the source PDF can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l3mpdvwrrc11z0a/Example_File.pdf?dl=0 the output PDf can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0niiclpxfi4s75p/Example_File-LR.pdf?dl=0 The version of GS is 8.70. If I remember correctly they where insta...

Hi All, I'm and infrequent user of IM and most of the times I just use it to make thumbnails but my current project is to make a lowres CMYK PDF but I'm having problems with the output colour. In its simplest form the command is: convert input.pdf output.pdf which gives me incorrect colour i.e. A re...

Many Thanks Fred.

I must admit it was the -define tiff:tile-geometry=128x128 part that was confusing me the most. I wasn't sure if I needed to specify that part and if so what the correct syntax was.

I'll see what other info I can find about the ptiff format.

Thanks,
Nik

Hi Fred, many thanks for your reply. I wander if you could explain about the Pyramid tiff format. It's my understanding that it creates multiple, smaller versions of the main image file that are saved in the tiff and used for viewing on the web? In Photoshop you simply tick the 'Save Image Pyramid' ...

Hi all, could any point me in the right direction of how to apply similar settings to an image that are available when saving a tiff in Photoshop. Embed Colour Profile: true Image Compression: LZM Pixel Order: Interleaved Byte Order: Macintosh Save Image Pyramid: true I've read a few things about pt...

Hi there, I have various machines that have a copy of IM installed. Recently I installed version 6.8.6-6 using macports on a mac running 10.8.4 (mountain Lion). I also have a mac running the same version of IM on 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). I ran a couple of tests on each machine and noticed that the new...

Hi, yes I did follow your previous post and installed the delegates using macports and then installed IM using configure. When I installed it this way OpenMP was installed and this is how I was able to do the timing difference between IM installed using macports (/opt/local/bin) running only 1 threa...
