My goal is to determine the compression parameters of the jpeg image that I have. As I understood from this answer, it's possible using the ImageMagick function identity. I downloaded from the official site and installed ImageMagick-7.0.2-7-Q16-x64-dll.exe. Now, I have an application with GUI called ImageMagick Display that seems useless. Where can I find an IM command line to type this:

identify -format '%Q' yourimage.jpg

Type it into the command prompt; alternatively you could put it into a batch file and drop your image over the batch file icon. But in both cases you would then need to think of a way to display the result.

Try this from command line

type "C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.7-Q16\magick.exe" identify -format '%Q' yourimage.jpg

replace "C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.7-Q16\magick.exe" with your directory that has ImageMagick-...\magick.exe installed, and place double quotes at the start of "C:\.... and at the end ...magick.exe",

Hope ImageMagick is installed in location C:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagick-7.0.8-Q16

If you are using Imagemagick version above 7.0

C:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagick-7.0.8-Q16>magick.exe compare -metric RMSE -subimage-search "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebServices\Service\Test\636753876766621882_cropped_test_1.jpg" "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebServices\Service\Test\crpd_ref_test_.jpg" null:-

1227.74 (0.0187342) @ 50,50 => output

For image magick below 7.0

C:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagick-7.0.8-Q16>compare.exe -metric RMSE -subimage-search "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebServices\Service\Test\636753876766621882_cropped_test_1.jpg" "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebServices\Service\Test\crpd_ref_test_.jpg" null:-
