<h1 id="some-tips-on-using-imagemagick">Some tips on using ImageMagick</h1>
<p>I like to use images in HPR shows if I can. I have experimented with various ways of preparing them since I first started contributing, but I'm particularly impressed with what I am able to do using <a href="https://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php" title="ImageMagick">ImageMagick</a>.</p>
<p>The <code>ImageMagick</code> system contains an enormous range of capabilities, enough for a whole series of shows. I thought I would talk about some of the features I use when preparing episodes to give you a flavour of what can be done.</p>
<p>I'm the rawest amateur when it comes to this kind of image manipulation. Just reading some of the ImageMagick documentation (see <a href="#Links">links</a>) will show you what an enormous number of possibilities there are. I am only using a few in this episode.</p>
<p>I have prepared longer show notes and demonstrated some scripts to explain how I process images. These can be found <a href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr1822_full_shownotes.html">here</a>.</p>
