Perhaps convert is not in your path? Also, I'm not sure that the -geometry argument is going to behave how you expect - typically, geometry is expressed as "WxH", not "W x H", in command-line arguments to imagemagick. In the former case, you will set the size of your output image to W width and H height. In the latter case, I believe that the 'x H' is ignored, and you implicitly set the size of your output image to W width and W height. Big difference for any aspect ratio besides 1:1. --------------------------------------------------------------------- michal migurski- contact info and pgp key: sf/ca http://mike.teczno.com/contact.html
