Conjure uses the following syntax:
conjure [options]script.msl [[options]script.msl]
The script.msl file is an XML file that contains elements that instruct ImageMagick to do special tasks.
For example, in the following code we convert an image from JPEG to TIFF:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <image> <read filename="test.jpg" /> <write filename="test.tif" /> <print output="Image format converted from JPEG to TIFF" /> </image>
Write this code in your favorite text editor, save it as test.msl, and see it in action when you invoke it using the conjure utility as follows:
conjure test.msl
