I am looking for a way to batch process images in bash.
Is there any way to fill up specific part of image?
Example:
I want to fill up the red part with white color. The red part is always on the top left corner, size is 135x35px.
Yes, Gimp/Photoshop is one way to do this, but I have lot of images and I love automatize things with bash.
Sure, use ImageMagick - installed on most Linux distros and available for OSX and Windows.
convert input.png -fill white -draw "rectangle 0,0 135,35" result.png
If you have many files, make a COPY in a spare folder and try this and it will probably do them all
mogrify -fill white -draw "rectangle 0,0 135,35" *.jpg

I've this image:
Its background (and only) color is "#687a40" but want to change it for the color "#9ea09a" (a light grey).
I've tried with this command...:
gm convert photo.png -fuzz 0% -fill "#9ea09a" -opaque "#678a40" photoGREY.png
...but I've not seen any effect on the image. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but GM's documentation is not very friendly.
Your image has an alpha channel, so you need:
gm convert input.png -fill "#9ea09a" -opaque "#687a40ff" result.png
I want to resize image to an exact size by maintaining aspect ratio and filling the empty space with transparency using nodejs.
I am able to do it using canvas. But due to some server os issues I can not use canvas.
I tried with imageMagick and gm. But couldn't find any option like these. Please show me a way to do this.
Thanks in advance.
In ImageMagick, you can resize and fill to the exact size by
convert image -resize WxH -background none -gravity center -extent WxH output
Input:
Here I will make the background black so you can see that if fills it out.
convert lena.jpg -resize 400x300 -background black -gravity center -extent 400x300 lena1.jpg
In case you have been successful using the canvas for resizing images, you can check out https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas this repo.
As already mentioned you also resize images using ImageMagick by processes in NodeJS ( http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/resize/ )
convert dragon.gif -resize 64x64 resize_dragon.gif
In case you have a lot of images, I would suggest that you write a terminal script ( NodeJS can achieve that as well ).
I hope it helps, in case you have more queries, feel free to ask.
I want to change my picture background color, This is my source http://cdn.mayike.com/emotion/img/attached/1/image/dt/20170916/18/20170916180007_833.png.
If I want to change the background color to another color, what should I do?
If I want to change the background color to transparent, what should I do?
I tried using convert aa.png -background '#0e0e0e' bb.png, but that doesn't work.
I do not think you will get a perfect result due to the fact that your image is not binary. Nevertheless in Imagemagick you have two choices. First you could just change all white to red:
convert 20170916180007_833.png.jpeg -fuzz 25% -fill red -opaque white -flatten result1.png
Or you can do a flood fill to just change the outer area:
convert 20170916180007_833.png.jpeg -fuzz 25% -fill none -draw "matte 0,0 floodfill" -background red -flatten result2.jpg
To apply any background color, first the program should know the edges and background.
The image you use doesn't do that.
Although your command is correct, it doesn't work since edges and background is not distinguished. So we use Masking first
First run this to get edges:
convert aa.png -bordercolor white -border 1x1 \
-alpha set -channel RGBA -fuzz 20% \
-fill none -floodfill +0+0 white \
-shave 1x1 aa.png
Now you'll get the edges saved in aa.png. At this point your background is transparent. Next run the background color change command:
convert aa.png -background blue -flatten bb.png
Now you'll have the expected result.
Output Final Image

Usually -opaque, or -transparent, is all that's needed. But because the image is black & white, we need to isolate ROI to effect. I would recommend using the MVG draw commands.
If change to another color, what should I do?
convert 20170916180007_833.png \
-fill '#0e0e0e' -fuzz 20% \
-draw 'color 0,0 floodfill' \
output_color.png
If change to transparent, what should I do?
convert 20170916180007_833.png \
-fill 'transparent' -fuzz 20% \
-draw 'color 0,0 floodfill' \
output_transparent.png
The situation is : I have many images of documents from scanning. I want to keep the document's main content - which is printed in color black (a small range of colors around #000000). But, you know, the documents are always full of colors : stamp, background, decorations, logos...etc.
I just want to keep the TEXTS ONLY which were printed in the color black.
I've tried with ImageMagick and this command so far:
convert X.png -matte (+clone -fuzz 20% -transparent "#000000") -compose DstOut -composite X1.png
But the result was not as expected , the text was very damaged that I cannot read.
Someone suggested me to increase the fuzz to 70%:
convert X.png -matte (+clone -fuzz 70% -transparent "#000000") -compose DstOut -composite X1.png
Then the text appeared to be more readable, but the other colors kept remaining too.
Can you please show me a better solution for my situation? Every suggestion would be highly appreciated!
To match all colors except black you can use +opaque "#000000".
In order to include a little range around #000000 you can try different percentages with the fuzz operator:
convert input.png -fill white -fuzz 10% +opaque "#000000" result.png
Tested with ImageMagick 6.6.0-1 on Windows
I stumbled upon this question while looking for an answer to this question. I found a couple imagemagick forum posts that helped. Here is what I came up with:
convert input.gif -matte \( +clone -fuzz 1 -transparent black \) -compose DstOut -composite ~/Desktop/output.png

You should try the level command:
convert test.png -level 25%,75% test_level.png
my shell hangs on this command:
/usr/local/bin/convert -size 298x71 -background black -fill white -stroke none -gravity center -trim -interline-spacing 0 -font /home/amazingw/public_html/live/fonts/Phillies.ttf label:'150' png:-
The shell just sits there until i press ctrl+c. If I add any letter to the label: argument the command runs fine and I get output.
The font is there but it is missing the number characters in the definition.
Could that cause my command to fail?
This seems like an issue related to input at the console, I am assuming you are using Bash.
If this is the case, Bash is trying to interpret the quotes and is waiting for other input.
after reviewing the imagemagick website for "label:"
Label - Simple Text Label
Basic Labels
Creating a font image using a "label:" image,
is the more typical way of drawing a font
quickly in ImageMagick...
It goes on and gives many examples...
convert -background lightblue -fill blue \
-font Candice -pointsize 72 label:Anthony \
label.gif
None of the examples show single quotes.
I would assume between Bash and ImageMagick's convert program, there is some error on interpretation of input from the console.
I would suggest trying your same command without quotes
/usr/local/bin/convert -size 298x71 -background black -fill white -stroke none -gravity center -trim -interline-spacing 0 -font /home/amazingw/public_html/live/fonts/Phillies.ttf label:150 png:-
I would also take a quick look at the Bash manual about single quotes too.
I was able to test using a modified version of the font which contained the digits. Command went smoothly and an output image was returned. This pretty much narrows it down to an ImageMagick problem with handling labels. Looks like if the label is made out only of characters which are missing in the font (the resulting output image would be empty) - in that case ImageMagick hangs until ctrl+c is pressed - especially problematic as I'm running this from php's proc_open.
