unrecognized color error

[mikmach]

Hello,

ImageMagick: Version: ImageMagick 7.0.8-8 Q16 x64 2018-07-23 (for MS-Windows)
Windows 8.1
cygwin - zsh 5.5.1

I'd like to create most color pallette for image and following some examples I've got to:

Code: Select all

magick convert -size 100x100 $(magick convert IMG_20181112_055511.jpg -format %c -colorspace HSB -colors 10 histogram:info:- | sort -n -r | awk '{print $NF}' | sed -e 's/\r//g' | sed -e 's/srgb/xc:"rgb/' -e 's/)/)"/' | paste -sd' ') +append pallette0.png

Part in $() is for extraction colors from histogram, ordering it and getting rid of some cygwin/windows/newline stuff, when redirected to file it is in form:

Code: Select all

xc:"rgb(18,17,17)" xc:"rgb(163,164,169)" xc:"rgb(216,213,211)" xc:"rgb(180,186,197)" xc:"rgb(82,80,84)" xc:"rgb(188,195,206)" xc:"rgb(211,175,156)" xc:"rgb(147,129,124)" xc:"rgb(232,207,178)" xc:"rgb(192,191,193)"

When using first chunk I get:

Code: Select all

convert: unrecognized color `"rgb(18,17,17)"' @ warning/color.c/QueryColorCompliance/2394.
convert: unrecognized color `"rgb(163,164,169)"' @ warning/color.c/QueryColorCompliance/2394.

convert: unrecognized color `"rgb(147,129,124)"' @ warning/color.c/QueryColorCompliance/2394.
convert: unrecognized color `"rgb(232,207,178)"' @ warning/color.c/QueryColorCompliance/2394.
convert: unrecognized color `"rgb(192,191,193)"' @ warning/color.c/QueryColorCompliance/2394.

When pasting second chunk into command line everything works as intended, just when using it directly (or even `cat`ing it from temp file).

It also happens when extracting hex color values (like #93817C). If it was purely weird stuff on border of Windows ImageMagick version and cygwin it should fail with last color value (192,191,193) - not all of them separately

Any help please?

Why do you have double-quotes? Try removing them.

I've found alternative:

Code: Select all

magick convert IMG_20181112_055511.jpg +dither -colors 10 -unique-colors -filter box -resize 3000% pdither.png

But I'd like to solve original problem - going through histogram gives some more options for color choosing.

TIA

But I'd like to solve original problem ...

Don't add those quotes. They are not interpreted by the shell but passed to IM, which doesn't expect quotes.

[snibgo]

convert: unrecognized color `"rgb(18,17,17)"' @ warning/color.c/QueryColorCompliance/2394.

The warning tells us that IM is trying to interpret a colour that starts with double quotes. No colours start with double quotes.

We can see the problem with pure bash commands. Bash removes the quotes in:

Code: Select all

$ echo asd:"xyz"
asd:xyz

But if we use sed to create the quotes, they are not removed:

Code: Select all

$ echo asd:xyz | sed -e 's/xyz/"xyz"/'
asd:"xyz"

If we use that in a command expansion, they are not removed:

Code: Select all

$ echo $(echo asd:xyz | sed -e 's/xyz/"xyz"/' )
asd:"xyz"

I'm using Cygwin bash on Windows, but I expect the same behaviour on all versions of bash.

Thank you all so much. Just removing " solved case and when testing on series of images it confirmed my impression. Getting info from histogram gives better results (for me) than use of simple color reduction.
