cit.gu.edu.au — This web pages presents a set of examples using ImageMagick from the command line. However they are also examples of what can be done using the ImageMagick Application Programming Interface (API). As such these pages should be the first stop for IM users after reading the terse user manuals.

ImageMagick is really usefull for web apps developers : you can use it in order to to create thumbnails, or resized pictures from the ones uploaded by users etc etc ...I use it in a web gallery script, and is it an awesome tool

Since it doesn't have a GUI, it's very different. However, if you want to manipulate images via command line, this is your tool.

Agreed. We use it to convert high res PDF's to thumbnails for our designers in their online library. Quick, easy, and lots of utility.

It's Ghetto because it only has 3 images, and it's a site about an image program.

err, amazingly, when i type display with no parameters, a GUI starts up. strange that.

there are a few gui frontends that use the ImageMagick API for their image processing (since it does so much so well), but i've noticed a lot more projects use imlib2 instead - since it's so superior in so many ways. :Danyway, IM can be useful in some fun contexts like the "NowPlaying" amaroK script (that no longer seems to be in the master list): it creates an image, using the cover and some text about the song, slaps it together, and then uploads it. it uses ImageMagick for the scaling and text bits.i've also used IM for simple batch processing: i have a collection of images that i want to copy to another medium at a specific resolution? easy: convert image.jpg -size 320x320 -quality 95 -resize 320x320 /new/image/location/image.png

Here is a nice article about using imagemagick to create screen capture movies. I used this recently to create an animated gif using X on cygwin, and it worked pretty good (though was slow). The article says size of animated-gifs generated through this process is not very good, which is actually true, as optimizing them using Animation Shop reduced the size tremendously.<a class="user" href="http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2004/03/04/screen_capture_movies.html">http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2004/03/04/screen_capture_movies.html</a>

I relied on ImageMagick back in 1998 when I only had WebTV. Laugh if you will.At the time i was forced to find sites like this, transloader and sourceviewer to meet my demands.People laugh at WebTv users. But if they are maxing out capabilities, these users are the slipperiest internet gurus. Dugg.

<a class="user" href="http://Interactimage.com">http://Interactimage.com</a> (Font Image Generator) uses ImageMagick for image processing. There is an interface there under the fx menu where you can enter commands and get immediate results. Lots of other features too like layers, drag/drop, flood fill, fonts, effects, etc. I went to IM after quickly running out of steam with PHP/GD. IM has lots of features and flexibility but poor documentation. Jeff
