Hi Tomas

I would assume the factors of reduzing the file size of any image have a whole
array of choices, such as resolution, compression, color, frames elimination,
layers, proper output, quality, size etc.etc.

However, I wonder why you asked a command line question in the IM studio
forum ...

I am sorry sir that doesn't make sense.
I do know how to make a gradient.

I was trying to get a transparent canvas.

So I entered the size
+
meta: transparent
+
Format: .xc

In the past this rendered a transparent back for any
further image manipulation. It seems to have
a cork on it now.

Any ...

This saddens me, because users on the MSNtv platforms have no
download possibilities and relied on IM to help them with their
imaging.
The problems that we now have with IM's new 6.72 are too
numerous to mention.
On the very first page:

META:none

or

META: transparent

results into EXCEPTION no ...

I can't imagine what we possibly could have done wrong.
Two images, same width and height. We just wanted to
compare them under the compare function.
Instead we get this crappola... http://petra.cc/images/CompareCrap.jpg

IM studios are getting more and more tiring.
Is there someone actually ...

I should probably add, that we used clipboard and append to
create an image list and to get the mosaic function to work.
No GO!
Then we tried via composite. NO GO!
I am off to GIMP!

Unfortunately, "mosaic" does NOT work anymore.
Inputted images receive NO effect when 'mosaic' is choosen.
Why having a non-functional function in the studio?

Would it be possible to add support for QR code (QR, DataMatrix etc.)
reading and creating to the ImageMagick Studios in the near future?

Thanks in advance

I've been using the Sepia function successfully for a long time.
For the past month the outputted sepia images at your main ImageMagick Studio (Redux) are
greenish in color instead of the usual yellow.
It appears that the output value is off by approx. 115 hue.
Thanks for any attention to that.

:? Scarlet, it's quite possible, that your gif has not enough bg to contain your transparency motion blur numbers. I hope that makes sense.
A way around it is to comp your gif on top of a larger transparent, follow with your motion blur numbers and finally smart crop off the rest. Make sure ...

Thanks Magick for the clarifications. I'll test it with a .PNG.
Of course now I wonder why it
would work with a .png and not with a .jpg. Aren't the two formats somewhat related?
Are there any other formats supported with 'passphrase', besides .png?

PERFECTION!
Thanks Magick, all is well again. You are the best!

I understand that the 'passphrase' doesn't work with .jpg and .png formats.
I understand the idea behind
the feature itself.
My first question:
How is 'passphrase' supposed to execute? I tried it with a .GIF format and it scrambled the image itself and not just the image info (data), therefore ...

One of the features at IM that is used the most by imagers is the "matte" feature under Paint Attributes. Irreplacable for webtv users on IM that wish to make something on an image or graphic transparent.
As of yesterday the feature is non-functioning.
Any input image or graphic does not execute the ...

Has anyone EVER successfully been able to use this feature on webtv or on a
PC?
Clicking on the button in ENHANCE results in NO action at all.
It's a dead dud!
I am familiar what a Colormap Clut does in other image programs (PSE6 etc.), why
doesn't it do the same @ ImageMagick (all interfaces that ...

An old bug came back.
After matting out part of a draw successfully, the output image.gif
executes a black color instead of transparent.
On PC (Vista) as well.
Thanks!
