Using ImageMagick to add "drop-shadow" effect to images

Wednesday 28 May 2003 4:18:47 am

Hi all!

I want to add "drop-shadow" effect to all images that are uploaded. ImageMagick can add such an effect. Does anybody know how one could du this in ezPublish?

Any tip would be appreciated..

Hi Felix

eZ publish use convert to convert the images and scale them to the preset sizes. I'm not sure how the "drop-shadow" effect is used, but if you can use it the the convert executable, you can use it in eZ publish.

Open your image.ini file (or one of the .append files) and find the variable ConvertExecutable. This should be set to "convert" by default. Here you can add as many parameters to convert as you want. Ex: If you set "ConvertExecutable=convert -gamma 50" then all images would use 50 as gamma correction.

Yes, and I even added a community documentation page for it:
