IM generally doesn't like extra spaces, try something like this:
convert zelda_text.jpg \(zelda_text_mask.gif -background white -alpha shape \) -flatten zelda_mask_overlay.jpg

could be the backslashes too, not sure though since I don't use them like this

*I'm not an expert and someone may have better information* The link you posted points to OpenMP, a CPU technology, whereas GPUs use either OpenCL or CUDA for high performance crunching operations. ** I would also guess due to the nature of image manipulations CPUs are the best option, if only to ac...

It would seem this is a pretty obscure IM function, I will keep looking for another solution (it is surprisingly hard to find a way to send prints to printers in an automated way).

IM on Windows, whatever version I need to make it happen ;) from the page I linked: PRINT Send image to your computer printer Unix users may set the PRINTER (for 'lpr') or LPDEST (for 'lp') environment variables to select the desired printer. I haven't tried anything yet, just looking for docs to se...

The only place I've been able to find anything is here:

Is there a more comprehensive doc or examples concerning the PRINT function available? Thanks

Ah Fred, I should not do coding at the end of the work day because I get sloppy- your initial advice worked, which is also the second post you did. I appreciate your help and patience

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll give it a shot. The version is in the post above, Windows OS Wow the version I am using looks to be the ancient one, my bad- putting the -profile at the end is not working either. Weird thing is that I know this was working properly earlier because I had matched prin...

I feel as though when doing this about 2 years ago my profiles were being applied with this code, now they are not. Source image has no profile according to identify, neither does the converted one. convert -size 3000x2400 xc: ( image.jpg -rotate 90 -resize x2100 -gravity center -crop 2700x2100+0+0 ...

Hey all, I need to be able to check large numbers of images and flag them if they have large areas of a single color. Some specifics: Be able to check that a percentage of the image is one color and flag it Be able to define "one color" as a small range of colors, as it would seem that wha...

Thanks snibgo, really good info as usual!

I am currently writing IM commands to .bat files which then get run when they appear in a folder, I would like to know how to do a couple of things. Is there a way to know when IM is done writing the images so that the next (non-IM) command can proceed safely, or is this something done automatically...

I am using convert and identify as my main commands. So far I found an ugly solution, but it seems to work: putting "On Error Resume Next" in the beginning of the asp file, which passes the thumbs.db file. Supposedly in vbscript you can exclude files, but the code I found wasn't working. I...

I have a bit of code that checks images for colorspace, but it always errors out before finishing a job because it wants to process the thunmbs.db file that windows generates whenever images are added to a folder. There is an option in windows not to create the thumb file, but it seems flaky at best...

I found the issue, the script is trying to run the thumbs.db file after all of the images- disabling thumbnail caching fixes this. I'm not sure if it's an IM issue- on an ancient version of IM from 2013 the .db was registered as OK by my script, but in the new version, 6.9.0, an error gets thrown up...

The static version is similar, I think maybe IM is seeing a file I can't? I am testing on only jpgs
