| # Image Manipulation with ImageMagick | ||
|
|
||
| This skill enables image processing and manipulation tasks using ImageMagick | ||
| across Windows, Linux, and macOS systems. | ||
|
|
||
| ## When to Use This Skill | ||
|
|
||
| Use this skill when you need to: | ||
|
|
||
| - Resize images (single or batch) | ||
| - Get image dimensions and metadata | ||
| - Convert between image formats | ||
| - Create thumbnails | ||
| - Process wallpapers for different screen sizes | ||
| - Batch process multiple images with specific criteria | ||
|
|
||
| ## Prerequisites | ||
|
|
||
| - ImageMagick installed on the system | ||
| - **Windows**: PowerShell with ImageMagick available as `magick` (or at `C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-*\magick.exe`) | ||
| - **Linux/macOS**: Bash with ImageMagick installed via package manager (`apt`, `brew`, etc.) | ||
|
|
||
| ## Core Capabilities | ||
|
|
||
| ### 1. Image Information | ||
|
|
||
| - Get image dimensions (width x height) | ||
| - Retrieve detailed metadata (format, color space, etc.) | ||
| - Identify image format | ||
|
|
||
| ### 2. Image Resizing | ||
|
|
||
| - Resize single images | ||
| - Batch resize multiple images | ||
| - Create thumbnails with specific dimensions | ||
| - Maintain aspect ratios | ||
|
|
||
| ### 3. Batch Processing | ||
|
|
||
| - Process images based on dimensions | ||
| - Filter and process specific file types | ||
| - Apply transformations to multiple files | ||
|
|
||
| ## Usage Examples | ||
|
|
||
| ### Example 0: Resolve `magick` executable | ||
|
|
||
| **PowerShell (Windows):** | ||
| ```powershell | ||
| # Prefer ImageMagick on PATH | ||
| $magick = (Get-Command magick -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)?.Source | ||
|
|
||
| # Fallback: common install pattern under Program Files | ||
| if (-not $magick) { | ||
| $magick = Get-ChildItem "C:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick-*\\magick.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | | ||
| Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty FullName | ||
| } | ||
|
|
||
| if (-not $magick) { | ||
| throw "ImageMagick not found. Install it and/or add 'magick' to PATH." | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| **Bash (Linux/macOS):** | ||
| ```bash | ||
| # Check if magick is available on PATH | ||
| if ! command -v magick &> /dev/null; then | ||
| echo "ImageMagick not found. Install it using your package manager:" | ||
| echo " Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install imagemagick" | ||
| echo " macOS: brew install imagemagick" | ||
| exit 1 | ||
| fi | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ### Example 1: Get Image Dimensions | ||
|
|
||
| **PowerShell (Windows):** | ||
| ```powershell | ||
| # For a single image | ||
| & $magick identify -format "%wx%h" path/to/image.jpg | ||
|
|
||
| # For multiple images | ||
| Get-ChildItem "path/to/images/*" | ForEach-Object { | ||
| $dimensions = & $magick identify -format "%f: %wx%h`n" $_.FullName | ||
| Write-Host $dimensions | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| **Bash (Linux/macOS):** | ||
| ```bash | ||
| # For a single image | ||
| magick identify -format "%wx%h" path/to/image.jpg | ||
|
|
||
| # For multiple images | ||
| for img in path/to/images/*; do | ||
| magick identify -format "%f: %wx%h\n" "$img" | ||
| done | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ### Example 2: Resize Images | ||
|
|
||
| **PowerShell (Windows):** | ||
| ```powershell | ||
| # Resize a single image | ||
| & $magick input.jpg -resize 427x240 output.jpg | ||
|
|
||
| # Batch resize images | ||
| Get-ChildItem "path/to/images/*" | ForEach-Object { | ||
| & $magick $_.FullName -resize 427x240 "path/to/output/thumb_$($_.Name)" | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| **Bash (Linux/macOS):** | ||
| ```bash | ||
| # Resize a single image | ||
| magick input.jpg -resize 427x240 output.jpg | ||
|
|
||
| # Batch resize images | ||
| for img in path/to/images/*; do | ||
| filename=$(basename "$img") | ||
| magick "$img" -resize 427x240 "path/to/output/thumb_$filename" | ||
| done | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ### Example 3: Get Detailed Image Information | ||
|
|
||
| **PowerShell (Windows):** | ||
| ```powershell | ||
| # Get verbose information about an image | ||
| & $magick identify -verbose path/to/image.jpg | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| **Bash (Linux/macOS):** | ||
| ```bash | ||
| # Get verbose information about an image | ||
| magick identify -verbose path/to/image.jpg | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ### Example 4: Process Images Based on Dimensions | ||
|
|
||
| **PowerShell (Windows):** | ||
| ```powershell | ||
| Get-ChildItem "path/to/images/*" | ForEach-Object { | ||
| $dimensions = & $magick identify -format "%w,%h" $_.FullName | ||
| if ($dimensions) { | ||
| $width,$height = $dimensions -split ',' | ||
| if ([int]$width -eq 2560 -or [int]$height -eq 1440) { | ||
| Write-Host "Processing $($_.Name)" | ||
| & $magick $_.FullName -resize 427x240 "path/to/output/thumb_$($_.Name)" | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| **Bash (Linux/macOS):** | ||
| ```bash | ||
| for img in path/to/images/*; do | ||
| dimensions=$(magick identify -format "%w,%h" "$img") | ||
| if [[ -n "$dimensions" ]]; then | ||
| width=$(echo "$dimensions" | cut -d',' -f1) | ||
| height=$(echo "$dimensions" | cut -d',' -f2) | ||
| if [[ "$width" -eq 2560 || "$height" -eq 1440 ]]; then | ||
| filename=$(basename "$img") | ||
| echo "Processing $filename" | ||
| magick "$img" -resize 427x240 "path/to/output/thumb_$filename" | ||
| fi | ||
| fi | ||
| done | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Guidelines | ||
|
|
||
| 1. **Always quote file paths** - Use quotes around file paths that might contain spaces | ||
| 2. **Use the `&` operator (PowerShell)** - Invoke the magick executable using `&` in PowerShell | ||
| 3. **Store the path in a variable (PowerShell)** - Assign the ImageMagick path to `$magick` for cleaner code | ||
| 4. **Wrap in loops** - When processing multiple files, use `ForEach-Object` (PowerShell) or `for` loops (Bash) | ||
| 5. **Verify dimensions first** - Check image dimensions before processing to avoid unnecessary operations | ||
| 6. **Use appropriate resize flags** - Consider using `!` to force exact dimensions or `^` for minimum dimensions | ||
|
|
||
| ## Common Patterns | ||
|
|
||
| ### PowerShell Patterns | ||
|
|
||
| #### Pattern: Store ImageMagick Path | ||
|
|
||
| ```powershell | ||
| $magick = (Get-Command magick).Source | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### Pattern: Get Dimensions as Variables | ||
|
|
||
| ```powershell | ||
| $dimensions = & $magick identify -format "%w,%h" $_.FullName | ||
| $width,$height = $dimensions -split ',' | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### Pattern: Conditional Processing | ||
|
|
||
| ```powershell | ||
| if ([int]$width -gt 1920) { | ||
| & $magick $_.FullName -resize 1920x1080 $outputPath | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### Pattern: Create Thumbnails | ||
|
|
||
| ```powershell | ||
| & $magick $_.FullName -resize 427x240 "thumbnails/thumb_$($_.Name)" | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ### Bash Patterns | ||
|
|
||
| #### Pattern: Check ImageMagick Installation | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| command -v magick &> /dev/null || { echo "ImageMagick required"; exit 1; } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### Pattern: Get Dimensions as Variables | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| dimensions=$(magick identify -format "%w,%h" "$img") | ||
| width=$(echo "$dimensions" | cut -d',' -f1) | ||
| height=$(echo "$dimensions" | cut -d',' -f2) | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### Pattern: Conditional Processing | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| if [[ "$width" -gt 1920 ]]; then | ||
| magick "$img" -resize 1920x1080 "$outputPath" | ||
| fi | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### Pattern: Create Thumbnails | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| filename=$(basename "$img") | ||
| magick "$img" -resize 427x240 "thumbnails/thumb_$filename" | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Limitations | ||
|
|
||
| - Large batch operations may be memory-intensive | ||
| - Some complex operations may require additional ImageMagick delegates | ||
| - On older Linux systems, use `convert` instead of `magick` (ImageMagick 6.x vs 7.x) | ||
