Thanks ... (I know that was very basic info). It works fine without the parenthesis, just as you had it.

convert cmyk.jpg -profile AdobeRGB1998.icc -pointsize 50 -draw "gravity north fill white font Lucida-Sans-Regular text 0,125 'Sammy'" -profile USWebUncoated.icc cmyk_back.jpg

Super!

Thanks ...

Thanks ...I had read that draw had problems (with the K channel, that's why I tried CMY), but I also read that annotate did not (I guess that was wrong). It seems like I'll lose some color accuracy with those two conversions (CMYK->RGB->CMYK), but I'm game to try.

......... Okay ... I tried it ...

I need to draw some text over a pre-existing image that was saved as CMYK (the final output is for printing). When I specify the fill color for the text, I get it's color compliment (e.g., if I say fill white, I get black ... and vice versa).

If I use annotate, I get the same result.

I've tried ...

So .... here we are one month later.

My unsharp problem has been solved. My host finally compiled and installed the latest version of ImageMagick (ImageMagick 6.5.8-5 2009-12-12 Q16) and that did the trick. I have no idea what the previous problem was (prior versions to the last one they had did ...

Thanks!

Ahhh ... I didn't know that was all there was to it.
And now I see that it was there all the time in the digest.rdf file - "<digest:sha256>"

I wrote a Php script to generate it for me.

Thank you for your help (I should have studied that one a little longer ).

I've searched the forums, and even Google but can not find instructions for "Verify message digest" as recommended in the installation instructions (windows binary in my case) . How do I Verify the message digest?

I installed the latest Window binary - ImageMagick-6.5.8-2-Q16-windows-dll.exe on my home PC.

It uses a lot more space that my previous version (6.2.9). I am not really concerned about this, as it only amounts to an extra 28 MBs, but as I look over the folders installed I see www - and it appears ...

Thank you for the thorough analysis.

I'll do two things. I *will* ask my web host to upgrade (not sure why they say it is problematic, as I recall it merely overwrites the old version and should then simply work). Hopefully this will solve my problem (although, I think unsharp *was* working before ...

Okay ... thank you for your patience.

I'm not sure if this will suffice, but it will certainly do for starters:

Note: I use this generic temp page so I don't end up with 404's later when I remove this ... you'll see. And I hope you don't mind the flipped image on the ...

Thanks for the detailed reply. Not sure what got me to use a float for the the first part (the radius?). I have changed it to use 2 (2x0.6+1.0), as you suggested. I still get the same result.

What's the best way to provide the examples? Can I email them somewhere, attach them here, or do you want ...

Using Php scripts, I create thumbnails for uploaded images with the following command:

convert -size 250x250 "IMG_5244.jpg" -resize 125x125 -strip -unsharp 0.2x0.6+1.0 -quality 87 "IMG_5244_th.jpg"

When I run this on my local machine (Windows XP SP2 - ImageMagick 6.2.9 09/27/06 Q16), the unsharp ...

Okay, ... between the two of us, I think I've got it. Although "JPG:-" is right there in the manual, I simply did not understand, .... but that was the key for me (thanks!).

The reason that your example is not working is that the exec command requires an extra input if you want the output of the ...

I'm trying to figure out if I can use ImageMagick (from the command line - and actually, using the Php exec command) to create a resized version of an image in memory only, without saving it to a file.

Using the GD library in Php I can create images in memory and serve them within an html img tag ...
