Image Operators:

-negate replace each pixel with its complementary color
-profile filename add ICM or IPTC information profile to image
-quantize colorspace reduce colors in this colorspace
-rotate degrees apply Paeth rotation to the image
-resize geometry resize the image
-sharpen geometry sharpen the image
-shave geometry shave pixels from the image edges
-stegano offset hide watermark within an image
-stereo combine two image to create a stereo anaglyph
-strip strip image of all profiles and comments
-thumbnail geometry create a thumbnail of the image
-transform affine transform image
-type type image type
-unsharp geometry sharpen the image
-watermark geometry percent brightness and saturation of a watermark
-write filename write images to this file

Image Stack Operators:
-swap indexes swap two images in the image sequence

Miscellaneous Options:
-debug events display copious debugging information
-help print program options
-log format format of debugging information
-list type print a list of supported option arguments
-version print version information

By default, the image format of `file' is determined by its magic number. To specify a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps). Specify 'file' as '-' for standard input or output.
