On my windoze 7 machine, I kept on getting 1875000 bytes which probably explains why I cannot update the logo. I'll try ImageMagick on a linux machine later. Edit: the process works when I use my linux VM. Cheers Last edited by hiaig; 01-11-2011 at 03:10 PM. |

Since this is an ebook forum, I thought I start making book related logos.
If you have a logo that you want converted, post here and I'll convert it for you. Just download and flash: Last edited by hiaig; 04-12-2011 at 02:37 PM. Reason: added tree-globe logo |

Second, is there a way to edit the image on Windows? I downloaded the ImageMagick Windows version, but other than resizing it to your specification, I can't find an option to save it as an .img file. Or do I simply change the extension name? And how exactly do I get the image to be 1920000 bytes? Is there another way to simply replace the logo with our own image, and if not, is it something we can request as a feature? To simply upload a pre-prepared image to a folder from which it would be read and used as a logo? I'd like to edit the attached image (currently 1024px wide and 600 px high), and keep it a good, clear quality. I'd also like to be able to easily replace it with another image in the future. |

Or alternatively, are there other image editing programs that can open and edit .img? A quick search on Google didn't give me any answers. Quote:

You need to call the program from the cmd prompt.
For example hitting convert lists all the options --> Quote:

And you're very sweet to add that hourglass image (thank you for all the trouble), but Coredump-EE has said that in order for an image to be displayed properly in portrait mode, the content has to be rotated within the 800 width, 600 height otherwise it will look upside down. (Exampe image added.) And I've been looking at other vladstudio images (I especially like this one) and would like to be able to edit the image in GIMP or whatever, rotate the layer properly so that it looks right, and save it to the zip and flash. It doesn't seem like that will happen any time soon. Too bad, because there are some gorgeous images at vladstudio. Last edited by citac; 01-16-2011 at 09:35 AM. Reason: To add an example image. |

citac,
if you want the bootlogo to be in portrait mode, you need an image that is 600x800. what Coredump-EE is talking about is the process of creating the .img. In order for the image to come out in portrait mode, it has to be rotated clockwise so that it is 800x600 before conversion into .img. If you want a portrait image on the IQ, you need to give me an image that is 600x800. I am not good and photoshop, otherwise I would "fix" the image for you.
