Hello together,

i am working on an image processing automation tool for a printshop - having
vast difficultes getting to a satisfying result with an IM -crop operation.

I have researched for hours, but i just can not get it right. I guess the
problem is on my side - i am pretty certain, most people can tell me the
correct command right away.

The goal is to resize and crop a given image to fit into a specific area on
a template. If the resized image does not perfectly fit the target area, it
must be cropped (in the vertical and horizontal center) so that it fits.

I use those commands:

convert files/afoch/UZ4V0121.jpg -resize 236x236 -crop 236x236+0+0
files/afoch/UZ4V0121.jpg_resized.jpg
composite -geometry +0+0 "files/afoch/UZ4V0121.jpg_resized.jpg"
"files/afoch__processed/UZ4V0121.jpg" "files/afoch__processed/UZ4V0121.jpg"

The result is always the same: the source image gets resized to fit either
height or width of the area placed into. It does not get cropped. Therefore
i always and up with my target image to contain the source image, but also
thick white borders.

I would appreciate any help on that matter!

There is two more things i wondered about:

1.) The image quality of the result is not satisfying even though it never
gets enlarged but rather shrinked and even though the source image is
Hi-Resolution. I tried using -quality 100 -depth 8, but the result remains
the same. Why?

2.) Is there a possibility to merge the two commands i use into one, so that
imagemagick has not got to be launched twice - therefore saving time and
cpu.

Thank you very much!

Ps.: Here you can find visual examples of what i wish to acquire:
