Errata from the book

The Definitive Guide to ImageMagick arrives in bookstores 26 December 2005, but Apress has already started sending out PDF versions of the book to some reviewers (let me know if you're interested in doing a review and I will see what I can do), and there is a sample chapter available for download from the Apress site. We worked hard to make the book as good as we could, including having a technical review team, several layers of editors, and me reading all of the chapters more than I would like to admit. That doesn't mean that it's impossible that errata slipped through though, so if you see something like that then please send either me an email, or even better send an email to the address reserved for such things. Each error found, if I agree with it, will result in a thank you email, the error being corrected in any future editions, the error being listed online (I don't know where yet though), and a credit in future versions of the book.

Building a stack of images from thumbnails

I have a directory full of thumbnails of the rental tour I went on the other day while looking for a new apartment, and I want to put them online. Instead of putting each photo online, which I thought might be boring, I wanted to build a stack on images on a background. I'm not really describing the effect well, so here's the output so you know what I mean: This was remarkably easy to create with a simple script that uses ImageMagick. Here's the code: #!/bin/bash # Setup the random number stuff LOBOUND=1 HIBOUND=600 RANDMAX=32767 # Create a white image to start with convert -size $HIBOUND"x"$HIBOUND xc:lightgray output.png for img in img*jpg do echo "Processing $img" # Rotate the image if needed rotate="" if [ `exif $img | grep Orientation | grep bottom | wc -l | tr -d " "` -gt 0 ] then convert -rotate -90 $img img.png else convert $img img.png fi imgwidth=`identify -ping img.png | cut -f 3 -d " " | cut -f 1 -d "x"` imgheight=`identify -ping img.png | cut -f 3 -d " " | cut -f 2 -d "x"` # For more information on bounded numbers with bash, see # http://www.stillhq.com/bashrand/…

The book

Just a little status update... The book went to print last night, so I guess that makes me a published author or something. Cool, huh?

Status of the book

The book has been written for a while, along with the technical editing and review. The copy edits have been done since last week. There are only two chapters left for page layout. The process has been interesting, educational, and in some parts long. The hardest part though? Ironically, it's filling in the marketing questionnaire. I've never done anything approaching sales before, although I have done customer facing work. Some parts of the questionnaire are easy... The target audience for instance, a short pitch for the book, that sort of thing. What about things like which magazines to ask to do a review? What about people who might be willing to do reviews? Got suggestions? Reply in a comment?
