Image Magick help!

[sol01]

I am trying to crop an image using the -crop cammand. For some reason it doesn't seem to work. If any of you have any ideas about the following, please lend a hand. TX in advance.

convert -crop 130*130 -border 1 -bordercolor black temp/$pic /thumbs/$pic;

the origonal image is 200 X 200

I also tried this:

convert -crop 130x130 -border 1 -bordercolor black temp/$pic /thumbs/$pic;

But no success.

Dear Sol,

The script below creates a new picture with width and height ($new_w & $new_h) from an old picture ($picture). But you need to have GD (with JPEG Support) to be compiled in your PHP to use this.

<?
$new_w=50;
$new_h=50;
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$dst_img=ImageCreate($new_w,$new_h);
$src_img=ImageCreateFromJPEG("$picture");
ImageCopyResized($dst_img,$src_img,0,0,0,0,$new_w,$new_h,ImageSX($src_img),Image
ImageJPEG($dst_img);
?>

Usage of this script: just copy the above stuff in a file called thumbnail.php. and in a HTML file you put the following:

<IMG SRC="thumbnail.php?picture=origional.jpg">

And you'll see a smaller version!

Gr.

thanks for the tip. However I am well aware of how to do this using the GD libs. I have found Imagemagick's set of tools to get better results.

Imagemagick does not have a lot of clear documentation or I just dont understand it. 🙂

Anyhow I am trying to do it in ImageMagick. TX for your advice anyhow.
