USAGE: surroundblur [-r resize] [-b bgsize] [-s smoothing] [-c color] [-t thickness] [-d darkness] [-f fade] [-e extent] [infile] [outfile]

USAGE: surroundblur [h|-help]

-r ... resize ...... resize of input image; WxH in pixels; default is input size
-b ... bgsize ...... blurred background size; WxH in pixels; default is twice the
.................... original input size
-s ... smoothing ... smoothing (blurring) amount; integer>=0; default=50
-c ... color ....... color of border; default=white
-t ... thickness ... thickness of the border; integer>=0; default=0
-d ... darkeness ... darkeness of the shadow; 0<=integer<=100; default=80
-f ... fade ........ fade rate of the shadow; integer>=0; default=3
-e ... extent ...... extent (distance) of the shadow; integer>=0; default=0

.

PURPOSE: To create a blurred background region around the input image.

DESCRIPTION: SURROUNDBLUR creates a blurred background region around the input image. A border and or drop shadow may be added between the image and the blurred background.

ARGUMENTS:

-r resize ... RESIZE of input image expressed as WxH in pixels or in percent as WxH%. The default is the original input size. The resize value should be smaller than the bgsize.

-b bgsize ... BGSIZE is the blurred background size expressed as WxH in pixels or in percent as WxH%. The default is twice the original input size. The bgsize should be larger than the resize.

-s smoothing ... SMOOTHING (blurring) amount to apply to the input to create the background. Values are integers>=0. The default=50.

-c color ... COLOR is the border color. Any valid opaque IM color is allowed. The default=white.

-t thickness ... THICKNESS of the border. Values are integers>0. The default=0 (no border).

-d darkeness ... DARKNESS of the frame shadow. Values are 0<=integer<=100. The default=80.

-f fade ... FADE (rolloff) of the shadow darkness. Values are integer>=0. The default=3.

-e extent ... EXTENT (distance) of the shadow. Values are integer>=0. The default=0 (no shadow).

# NOTE: This script is not designed for images with transparency.

What the script does is as follows:

  • Read input and save to mpr: format
  • read the mpr: image and adjust size to bgsize, crop and blur
  • read the mpr: image and adjust size to resize
  • Optionally add a border and/or shadow
  • Combine the images
  • Write the output

  • convert -quiet "$infile" +repage $tmpA1
  • ww=`convert -ping $tmpA1 -format "%w" info:`
  • hh=`convert -ping $tmpA1 -format "%h" info:`
  • if [ "$resize" = "" ]; then
    resize=${ww}x${hh}
    fi
  • if [ "$bgsize" = "" ]; then
    bww=$((2*ww))
    bhh=$((2*hh))
    bgsize=${bww}x${bhh}
    fi
  • convert $tmpA1 -write mpr:img +delete \
    \( mpr:img -resize ${bgsize}^ -crop ${bgsize}+0+0 +repage -blur 0x$smoothing \) \
    \( mpr:img -resize ${resize} -bordercolor "$color" -border $thickness \) \
    \( +clone -background black -shadow ${darkness}x${fade}+${extent}+${extent} \) \
    \( -clone 2,1 -background none -layers merge +repage \) \
    -delete 1,2 \
