ImageMagickIntroduction to ImageMagick
Command-
line Tools ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose
Processing bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of
Options formats (about 100) including DPX, EXR, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000,
Usage PDF, PhotoCD, PNG, Postscript, SVG, and TIFF. Use ImageMagick
Program to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images,
Interfaces adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines,
MagickWand polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves.
MagickCore
PerlMagick The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the
Architecture command line or you can use the features from programs written in
] your favorite programming language. Choose from these interfaces:

Here are just a few examples of what ImageMagick can do:

Format conversion: convert an image from one format to


another (e.g. PNG to JPEG)
Transform: resize, rotate, crop, flip or trim an image
Transparency: render portions of an image invisible
Draw: add shapes or text to an image
Decorate: add a border or frame to an image
Special effects: blur, sharpen, threshold, or tint an image
Image calculator: apply a mathematical expression to an image
or image channels
Text & comments: insert descriptive or artistic text in an image
Image identification: describe the format and attributes of an
image
Animation: create a GIF animation sequence from a group of
images
Composite: overlap one image over another
Montage: juxtapose image thumbnails on an image canvas
High dynamic-range imaging: accurately represent the wide
range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from the
brightest direct sunlight to the deepest darkest shadows
Large image support: read, process, or write mega- and giga-
pixel image sizes
Threads of execution support: ImageMagick is thread safe and
many internal algorithms are already threaded to take
advantage of speed-ups offered by the dual and quad-core
processor technologies.

Examples of ImageMagick Usage shows how to use ImageMagick


from the command-line to accomplish any of these tasks and much
more.

Books About ImageMagick

An open source project backed by years of continual


development, ImageMagick supports about 100 image formats and

scratch; changing colors; stretching, rotating, and overlaying images;
and overlaying text on images. Whether you use ImageMagick to
manage the family photos or to embark on a job involving millions of
images, this book provides you with the knowledge to manage your
images with ease.

The Definitive Guide to ImageMagick explains all of these


capabilities and more in a practical, learn-by-example fashion. You'll
get comfortable using ImageMagick for any image-processing task.
Through the book's coverage of the ImageMagick interfaces for C,
Perl, PHP, and Ruby, you'll learn how to incorporate ImageMagick
features into a variety of applications.
ImageMagick Tricks by Sohail Salehi: This fast-
paced and practical tutorial is packed with examples of photo
manipulations, logo creation, animations, and complete web projects.
With this book up your sleeve, you'll be creating spellbinding images
from code in no time. The publisher, Packt, is donating a percentage
