-type type image type
-verbose print detailed information about the image
-virtual-pixel method
virtual pixel access method Image Operators:
-brightness-contrast geometry
improve brightness / contrast of the image
-distort method args
distort images according to given method and args
-level value adjust the level of image contrast
-resize geometry resize the image
-rotate degrees apply Paeth rotation to the image
-separate separate an image channel into a grayscale image
-trim trim image edges
-write filename write images to this file Image Sequence Operators:
-crop geometry cut out a rectangular region of the image Image Stack Operators:
-delete indexes delete the image from the image sequence Miscellaneous Options:
-debug events display copious debugging information
-help print program options
-log format format of debugging information
-list type print a list of supported option arguments
-version print version information By default, the image format of `file' is determined by its magic number. To specify a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps). Specify 'file' as '-' for standard input or output. Two images are considered similar if their difference according to the specified metric and fuzz value is 0, with the exception of the normalized cross correlation metric (NCC), where two images are considered similar when their normalized cross correlation is 1. The default metric is NCC. The compare program returns 2 on error, 0 if the images are similar, or a value between 0 and 1 if they are not similar.
