Sorry for being so stupid.

Usually, I am always store my ImageMagick Script in .bat format to automatically my task.

Sorry. My scripts are not bat files. They are unix shell scripts and only run on Linux, Mac or Windows with Cygwin.

If you are on Windows, the only way to use my scripts is to install Cygwin (a unix like setup for Windows).

If I install cygwin, will your script work as commandline executable or as batch file?

They are shell scripts. When run, they process typically one image (not a group of images). They do not work by dropping images on them. They are run from the command line. Syntax is usually

scriptname arguments input output

I am not a Windows user, but have been told that they do run under Cygwin. see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/#cygwin

There are some pointers for setup that may or may not be appropriate to Cygwin environment. See my home page for those Pointers.
