Good to hear how easy it =is on the Mac... but why am I not surprised by that?

I do plan to add functions =to grab file data=A0(which uses identify), and to make a watermark (uses =transform).

One =minor correction to your note.... =A0she, not he=A0:)

One =important note - I installed ImageMagick on Mac OS X using=A0MacPorts

which is done simply by typing =A0 =A0 =A0 sudo port install =ImageMagick

The install takes quite a while =because it downloads, installs and updates everything ImageMagick needs. ==A0After that, ImageMagick is in =/opt/local/bin

Also - this is a really helpful =set of functions for basic image handling. ImageMagick has an enormous =collection of possible commands and, using Terry's excellent approach, =adding any additional capabilities you might need is as easy as studying =how he did things and then adding any more you might want or =need.

Nice =work!

In other words, on Leopard 10.5 =the ImageMagick commands are available without a path, at the terminal =prompt. The net result is that the images are not processing into the =images directory.

Anyone have any =suggestions?

Thanks,
