I'm building up a site with joomla.I have some pictures in psd format (photoshop format) and i need to convert them in jpg or png.I have a debian sarge 3.1 and i have imagemagick but when i launch it:
Code:
gabrix@www:~$ imagemagick
-su: imagemagick: command not found
gabrix@www:~$ whereis imagemagick
imagemagick:
Strange!how do i launch imagemagick ?An alternative prog converting psd to png ?
Thanx!
If you have too many PSD images to convert manually with The Gimp, it should be possible to write a little script-fu program to convert them as a batch process.
Incidentally, for some reason I can't fathom, it seems to swamp the memory of my system when invoked on a very large number of images, even if it's only invoked on a limited number at a time. This is very odd. Does anyone know if libgimp has some memory usage problems which persist between invocations of Gimp?
I have launched both "mogrify" and "convert" but none seems to be on my case ... any other clue ?
What error do you get?
Maybe imagemagick's tools aren't in your $PATH?
Try doing "whereis mogrify" to find out.
In some cases, there is another tool that's also named "convert", so you may need to use the full path in order to get the right "convert" app to run. I forgot what the other convert did, but it sure wasn't related to image format conversion.
The psd files i have are cd covers and they are several pictures on layers.Using imagemagick convert i get them split back and i don't want this.I hope i'm clear !
Doesn't ImageMagick's convert have options for that?
A quick look in the man pages gave me:
-average (average the psd layers in to one image)
-coalesce (image set merging)
-process (processing a set of images)
-adjoin (ie rejoin the split images)
