im4java throws FileNotFoundException error


I need to use ImageMagic in my java project. I already installed ImageMagic-7.0.3 on Windows 10 (command line works fine)

Then, i added dependency to im4java in maven file. When i try to do some action like:

public static void main(String[] args) {

String imPath="C:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick-7.0.3-Q16";
ConvertCmd cmd = new ConvertCmd();
cmd.setSearchPath(imPath);
IMOperation op = new IMOperation();
op.addImage("biuro.jpg");
op.negate();
op.addImage("biuro_new.jpg");


try {
    cmd.run(op);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IM4JavaException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

System.out.println("works");

}

i get following error

Solution

  • I went trough half of Internet. Read half of google. There was only one small advice saying "have you installed Visual C++ Redistributable and reboot?" That was the solution.

    ImageMagick worked in command line, so I did not expected requirement of that type. Moreover I did not find a thing about it in both - im4java and ImageMagick reference.

    Hope this will be helpful, and noone ever will waste about 5h of life searching the answer.
