+convert image -resize "275x275^" -gravity center -crop 275x275+0+0 +repage resultimage
+
+see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... p#geometry regarding ^ and other character options.
+
+This resizes according to the smaller of your input image dimensions keeping aspect ratio. Thus the smaller dimension will end
+up as 275, but the larger dimension will be larger. Thus the crop following the resize.
+
+On Windows you may have to escape the ^ with ^ so that it is ^^ (if the quotes don't help). See
+http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/
+
+Alternately, you can resize to the larger dimension and then pad the image
+
+convert image -resize "275x275" -gravity center -background white -extent 275x275 resultimage
+
+Alternately, you can resize and lose aspect ratio ( and accept some distortion)
+
+convert image -resize "275x275!" resultimage
+
+examples are at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/resize/#fill
+
+I have had some trouble with BMP conversions too. I have typically specified BMP3:outfile.bmp and I normally get 24 bit BMP
+files. sometimes I get an 8 bit BMP when converting JPEG files. I just tried the -type truecolor (having seen it here) and now
+it looks like I get a 24 bit BMP in the cases where I used to get only 8 bits.
+
+I also use these switches:
+
+-units PixelsPerInch -density 72 -compress None -depth 24
+
+the -depth 24 should do a 24 bit BMP (the depth -8 in your case may also be causing a problem) but as I said I sometimes get 8
+bits even with the 24 specified.
+
+the -units and -density cases corrected a problem where sometimes I would get a 0 for the biXPelsPerMeter and biYPelsPerMeter
+fields in the BMP header (it did not seem to cause a problem though). by the way I have not found a good explanation of these 2
+fields.
+
+the -compress None was required because sometimes a conversion generated a compressed BMP - no logical reason for doing that was
+found.
