ImageMagick: delegate library support not built-in #2404 #imagemagick

I just came across this question I asked 13 years ago about pixelating images using the command line

https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/8422/how-can-i-pixelate-an-image-via-the-command-line-on-linux

That method of downscaling then upscaling to produce pixelation was acceptable at the time but the problem is that you couldn't easily specify the size of the "big pixels"

Searching again in 2025 and it looks like ffmpeg has had a pixelation filter since 2022 and can be used like this:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf pixelize=40:40 output.mp4

So now I'm using ffmpeg, a video editor, to pixelate images.

It's so funny to see how

find . -name "*.jpg" -exec mogrify -format png {} \;

"unchungifies" 10MB of 100% Quality "lossy" JPEG into 50MB of 100% Quality "lossless" PNG...

Aint it supposed to be the other way around?!

Die Screenshots für die Skripte hab ich immer mit "import" gemacht. Das gehört zu #imagemagick, funktioniert aber mit Wayland nicht mehr

Nachbau für #KDE mit "spectacle" tut genauso und sieht täuschend ähnlich aus.

spectacle -r -n -b -d 5000 -o foo.jpg

once again I would like to ask you for forgiveness for my uncontrollement, but nobody should be able to say that we have no freedom of expression here!

Lordy, why does #ImageMagick have the most anemic online documentation of any complex command-line package? :'(

Does any #imagemagick wizard out here know how to explain what `+channel` does? How it's useful? I tried to wrap my head around the documentation multiple times, an I still can't catch the meaning.
