[Solved] Spiff and Sharpen to a large amount of an images.

[frostysh]

Hello to everyone.

ImageMagick is incredible flexible and it has a lot of abilities to change images. But for me it is too difficult in applying.
GIMP can not modify an images that I need for (or I do not know how to do it...) so I try to do it with IM.
My ImageMagick version is 6.8.9-9 Q16
I need to apply the Spiff 4 times and Sharpen with 0.5x1.0 options to a large amount of images. This options I got when I used GUI for Image Magick, but GUI can not apply it to a large amount of an images. And really this is a horrible GUI...
All of this is for my game mod .
List of an images.

How I can do it?

Thanx for the answers.

What is "SPIFF"?

See sharpen or unsharp at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... ptions.php

Please provide one example image. Post to some free hosting service such as dropbox.com and put the URL here. Explain what needs to be done or show an example from GIMP.

Also identify your IM version and platform.

If you want to process a bunch of images in a directory, then use mogrify. See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#mogrify

[frostysh]

Thanx .

Code: Select all

mogrify *.png -sharpen 0.5x1.0

Works cool and fast for me. Now I need to Spiff it 4 times! I do not know what the SPIFF exactly is. I got this effect from ImageMagick--->Commands--->Enhance--->Spiff O_o . This "spiff" effect can make small images more readable. That I need for.

The hell with it! I will use -normalize program instead of "spiff" that I can not find in console mode. The normalize work good enough. ImageMagick is an amazing program but without the graphical interface that can expose preview for all those scripts and filters ImageMagick is not so useful for newbies... Because I do not care what a name of an effect and what coordinates using there , I just need a preview of this effect on my image! But with ImageMagick I need to read A LOT OF the manuals, guides, instructions.... And the other super boring technical documentation , to modify a frigging 50x50 pixels thumbnail! O_o Amazing..

Thanx again , I think this forum will be useful for me in the future...

What program are you using that has "stiff"?

I have written (but not published) a GUI for Windows, using ImageMagick for the processing. It also creates the ImageMagick commands, so they can be pasted into scripts.

I though that was an user graphical interface for ImageMagick stuff. That was on my friend's Unix-like system and that was a very simple and a very inopportune GUI with the header " i m a g e m a g i c k ". This GUI turns me into rage ;p but GIMP can not even apply his own filters to any o an described images.. I do not know why. So ImageMagick was a very useful for me in that case!

I think that ImagageMagick is need to be organized with GIMP program into a new cool graphic program that can modify a LARGE amount of images so easy as the single one image!

[zemlik]

put images in a directory then go through them.

#!/bin/bash
for i in $(ls)
do
do something with $i
done

Spiff seems to be a function in http://www.imagemagick.org/MagickStudio ... Studio.cgi. But I do not know what it corresponds to in command line Imagemagick.

[snibgo]

"Spiff" is in display.c. It is limited to that command, but seems identical to "-contrast" in convert etc.
