Hi all, I am using a plug-in filter for Adobe Photoshop CS2 called Genuine Fractals 4. Does anyone know if I can automate the execution of this filter by invoking it from the command line via a macro (i.e. by using the Run> command?). Bit of a long shot, but I thought I'd ask in case anyone has come...

Hi all, Well, having used Macro Scheduler for about a month, I have to say that this is GOOD software. Congrats to the MJT team. (Even if I still don't quite understand when I have to bracket variables with % characters;)) Still, there's always trial and error;) Anyway, here's my latest question for...

Luciano,

Many many thanks!

That seems to work perfectly.

Hi all, When one is dealing with large integer numbers, does anyone know of a way to "round" a number to end in 125 or 625? Example #1: Let's say the number in question is 452764. The closest option to this would be 452625. Example #2: If the number is 873212, the closest option would be 873125. Che...

Bob, that works perfectly! :) I have one last problem though, and I know it's simple... but it involves the modulus function (I read your post regarding using VB modulus btw). Problem is, I can never get my head around the modulus thing. Brain block sets in. Anyway, at the risk of presuming to ask f...

Hi all, This is somewhat related to my previous topic about assembling image tiles, but I think it warrants a separate thread. My question is this: Let's say I have a directory (such as c:\data) which is supposed to contain a whole list of files named like this (numerical order): 1.bmp 2.bmp 3.bmp 4...

Hi JRL,

Many thanks for your help. I am working on this issue as we speak. If I do manage to solve it, I will post info.

Cheers,

Many thanks for your help Bob.

Having tested the ImageMagick program, I have to say that I do not believe it to be useful for the task at hand. It is terribly slow. Mosaicing can surely be achieved quicker than this.

Can anyone recommend anything else?

Cheers,

To make a DOS program invisible add the following line prior to the Run Program line: Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=0 Assembling lots of images into one image will involve image processing as the software has to create a new image. For sure there will be a lot of image processing involved! Hi, I'm getting ther...

Hi, Why is the assembly process so slow? It seems like some "image processing" is going on, when all I need is for the tiles to be assembled. Help! Prospero PS: Can I make a DOS program invisible when executed, rather than opening up in a window - so that it just works away in the "background" witho...

Thanks very much for that. I am in the process of getting it to work (will let you know). Superb and much appreciated.

By the way, you talk of weather conditions... but where do you get them from? (i.e. what is the website?).

Prospero

I look forward to seeing the examples.

Thanks!

(and thankyou to MJT too)

Hi, Golly, I need a little more help. Let's say the DOS command line I want to execute is this: c:\program files\imagemagick-6.2.3-Q16\convert.exe -size 5000x5000 xc:wheat multiple.jpg (This will run one of the ImageMagick programs - namely, convert.exe). What would be the correct Run> command? How ...

Many thanks for your help. I have downloaded ImageMagick, and I'm sure it will be suitable for the task. My one question is how I make Macro Scheduler run a DOS-style command line. Could you give me a simple example?

(New to this).

Hi all, I'd really appreciate some help with this problem: I have 40,000 individual .jpg images - each of which is exactly 250 by 250 pixels and about 18KB - that I need to assemble and then display on screen as one continuous image. They need to be assembled and displayed in a square, 200 images by...
