ImageMagick Introduction

Miss Quids gives an introduction to ImageMagick – a command line tool for image manipulation, it's great for use where repetition is required for converting, resizing, or even carrying out some fairly complex image effects. identify -- gives some details on an image     identify NAME (can also add -verbose) convert -- now want to look at the image     Convert actually does a lot of things     convert NAME x:     convert NAME NEW-NAME resize     Default is more clever -- convert NAME -resize AxB NEW-NAME     Can ignore aspect ratio -- convert NAME -resize AxB\! NEW-NAME     Percentage resize -- convert NAME -resize 50% NEW-NAME model village (tilt-shift effect) convert NAME -sigmoidal-contrast 15x30% -modulate 50 NAME_CONTRAST     Sigmoidal contrast, 15 means strong contrast, offset centre of threshold using 30% grey, then I added modulate to take the overall brightness down a little convert NAME_CONTRAST -sparse-color Barycentric '0,0 black 0,%h white' -function polynomial 4,-4,1 NAME_BLURMAP     Prepares gradient image we'll use in the final step. Barycentric sparse colouring to generate gradient from top to bottom only, black to white from 0,0 to 0, height, then polynomial allows for the bit in the centre -- maths says 4x2 - 4x + 1 says curve goes from 1.0 to 0.0 and back to 1.0, allows for final picture we see convert NAME_CONTRAST NAME_BLURMAP -compose Blur -set option:compose:args 10 -composite NAME_MODEL     Blur image according to blurmap created in previous step, using compose Website: https://imagemagick.org/index.php Like my channel?
