hi,
i am using soho 5.8 with kde
i am looking for a piece of software...ImageMagick.
is ist out of the box included? nor i found it via gslapt??
afaik is this a software to convert images in its size(per gui..you can handle it also with cli, but gui wouldd be an asset)
any hints, where i can get it?(maybe i unintentionally deleted it from the box..not sure now, because i never checked dependencies)
greets günter

type convert in a console. You should see plenty of output if you have imagemagick installed. I seem to remember the option to install it during the VL install process. I see it in my Gslapt, its in the proper "packages" repo. |

ImageMagick is set of commandline tools, none of which are actually called 'imagemagick' (or anything similar). |

They come in handy, especially for resizing (or otherwise manipulating) a number of images at once. Another cool little image tool is pngcrush, for optimising png images for file size (cli only). |

I had no idea! I expected some output in the console. Not a cute little gui popping up. Always learning.  |

It's not exactly an intuitive command is it? I picked it up on another forum where a participant discovered it by accident. |

Good link, Joe. I bookmarked this a few months ago: Graphics from the command lineYou can also change the image comment: convert -comment "mind yer own beeswax, ya nosey parker" input.png output.png Actually, I recall a suggestion that images include their licence in the comment ... so that command could come in handy. |
