Options/Flags

  • -f <format>: Specify the output image format (default: same as input)
  • -s <width>x<height>: Resize the image to the specified dimensions
  • -c <color space>: Convert the image to the specified color space (default: sRGB)

Convert an image to grayscale:

cimagf -c grayscale input.jpg output.jpg

Resize and brighten an image:

Flip an image vertically and adjust blue channel:

cimagf -t flip-v -r 0,1,0.5 input.tif output.tif

Common Issues

  • Incorrect color space conversion: Ensure the specified color space is valid.
  • Dimension mismatch: Check that the output dimensions match the aspect ratio of the input image.
  • Unsupported image format: Verify that the input and output formats are supported by cimagf.

Integration

cimagf can be integrated into scripts or command pipelines for automated image processing tasks. For example:

ls *.jpg | xargs cimagf -s 1000x1000 -f png
