Re: convert - downscaling comic pages

I also think that something like this may work well given what you have found to work well, esp. with color: convert \( input.png -depth 16 -set colorspace sRGB -colorspace RGB \) \ \( -clone 0 -gamma 1.666666666666666 -filter RobidouxSharp -distort Resize $res -gamma 0.6 \) \ \( -clone 0 -filter R...

Re: convert - downscaling comic pages

Thank you Steve. Putting the result of your testing in my "What worked for someone" memory box. P.S. I persist in thinking that an EWA can always be found that does better than any tensor method in a specific situation. Have you tried something like convert infile[0] -quiet -colorspace RG...

Sorry about that. The originals can be found here:

I was away yesterday. I have input to your thoughts above. I'll
respond later today.

Re: convert - downscaling comic pages

After much testing with ImageMagick 6.8.8-5 HDRI Q16 I've settled on Catrom with a gamma setting of 1.333333333333333/.75 and no ewa. Here is the syntax I'm using: $ convert infile[0] -quiet -colorspace RGB -gamma 1.333333333333333 -filter Catrom -resize $res -gamma .75 -colorspace sRGB +repage outf...

Re: convert - downscaling comic pages

Using photoshop I created a set of delta images to illustrate how much noise was created after down-sampling. The original, down-sample and delta images can be found here[1]. For the D2 images I upscaled the original file to twice its size, with nearest-neighbor resampling, then upscaled the convert...

Re: convert - downscaling comic pages

How do I know which settings to use for GAMMA and RECIPROCAL_OF_GAMMA?

The thin-line artwork is one of 12 images to test, some of the images
have full colour artwork.

I have done some initial tests. I will post the results later.

Re: convert - downscaling comic pages

I'd like to take a stab at doing some tests. How do I access the EWA filters? I do not see them in the output of 'convert -list filter'. Before comparing the output, I'd like to get feedback on the syntax I'm using to be sure it's what Nicolas meant above. convert img/bw-thin_line.jpg -colorspace RG...

convert - downscaling comic pages

I'll have users uploading jpg's, png's and possibly gif's. If the width is greater than 750px (eg) then I need to resize them. See https://dev.zcomix.com for examples of images I'll be getting. I'd like to keep the image quality high, as well as the logic simple. I would never be upscaling the image...

Re: auto-crop

Is there a nice way to get around using -fuzz? I'm concerned the
the percentage I settle on will either be too greedy or too loose.

I'm building a lightbox. Currently the raw images look similar to this: http://i7.minus.com/jbishR4z6Gj9on.jpg I'm looking to find away to auto crop the photos.

Upscaling

I have images similar to this: http://imgur.com/189v5 Their widths are between 1000px and 1200px. I'd like to upscale them to a width of 1280px. In my first attempt I tried: $ convert -resize 1280 a.jpg b.jpg The picture was slightly blurry. I googled around and came across '-unsharp -30': $ convert...
