ImageMagick open and write image with qt ans magick++

Question

Im using Magick++ Library with Qt

Im using the following code to read and write an image:

  Image image;
  image.read(qPrintable(f.absoluteFilePath()));
  image.addNoise(GaussianNoise);
  image.magick("png");
  image.write("image_name");

Where f.absoluteFilePath is the absolute path for my image Example: /Users/user/Desktop/test/P1030673.jpg

After the completion of the code, I cannot locate the image named 'image_name'. I looked into the folder of the first image '/Users/macmini/Desktop/test/' and its not there I tried to search the image, but it seems is not in my computer.

Where do I go wrong? How can I save the image in my computer? is there any way to specify the path that I want the image to be saved?

Thank you

Answer 1

You should find the file saved in the current working directory. If you want to save it elsewhere give an absolute path.

Answer 2

For everyone who might have tha same problem: Imagemagick will save the images inside the .app bundle

You will not be able to find the image files unless you specify a path inside the read() function

I noticed the following by checking the size of my .app file It was increased everytime I was trying to save images.
