 If you ever wanted to see other peoples / BIS terrains textures in one big image or perhaps you lost your own Photoshop psb image for your project, this is the method to use to recover that big image once again. If you ever wanted to see other peoples / BIS terrains textures in one big image or perhaps you lost your own Photoshop psb image for your project, this is the method to use to recover that big image once again.

 Our example is made for BIS terrain Chernarus, its 15360 x 15360 resolution satellite image and its PNG file list is 1024 PNG's long. Other terrains have various sizes and you have to adjust this tutorial accordingly. Our example is made for BIS terrain Chernarus, its 15360 x 15360 resolution satellite image and its PNG file list is 1024 PNG's long.

-If you run out of memory, ImageMagick needs to swap to temp dir/file, if the drive it tries to swap gets full you can define new drive/path like this: +To further tweak your imagemagick ​to handle ​large satellite ​image sizesplease refer to [[arma2:texturing:​imagemagick|ImageMagick]] ​page.
-<code dos> +
-set MAGICK_TEMPORARY_PATH=d:​\imagemagickswap +

-You can use what path you wish there. +

-====== Indexed to RGB Color ====== +
- +
-How to use ImageMagick to convert indexed PNG image into RGB color: +
-<code dos> +
-convert indexed.png -define png:​color-type=2 rgb.png +
-</​code>​ +
-Take a note that when you convert large image, huge image... it takes quite long time and eats all the memory you have in your computer, strange thing even though its supposed ​to use the temp directory. But, it works. For example Photoshop CS6 does not save large PNG image with RGB color to PNG (it loads indexedbut doesn'​t save RGB). +

-====== Imagemagick Convert Large Satellite ​to Smaller ====== +
- +
-Imagemagick Convert Large Satellite to Smaller for testing purposes, for example convert 40960 monster to a 12800 which you can more easily import many times into Visitor 3 while you are testing some satellite settings. +
- +
-resize larger satellite down into 12800 res: +
-<code dos> +
-set MAGICK_TEMPORARY_PATH=C:\temp +
-convert Satellite_texture_lco.png -resize 12800x12800 satellite_texture_12800_lco.png +
-convert Satellite_mask_lco.png -resize 12800x12800 satellite_mask_12800_lco.png +
-pause +
-</​code>​ +

-PMCTODO - you really need to make specific ​imagemagick page with all these imagemagick tips.+
