Running a Utility
Toon Boom includes a number of command line utilities that you can use to convert image formats, bitmap or vector, into other image formats.
These command line utilities are found in your Toon Boom application folder.
- Windows: \Program Files(x86)\Toon Boom Animation\Toon Boom Harmony 12.2.1 [edition]\win[x]\bin
- Mac OS X: /Applications/Toon Boom Harmony 12.2.1 [edition]/tba/macosx/bin
To run these utilities, use a Command Prompt or Terminal window. All of these utilities work on input files that are processed using options you specify to produce an output.
- Open a Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Mac OS X) window.
‣ | Windows: From the Start menu, select Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. |
‣ | Mac OS X: Open a Finder window and select Applications > Utilities > Terminal |
- In the Command Prompt or Terminal window, switch to the directory that contains the image files you want to process (elements folder).
- Type the name of the utility you want to launch, and the options and name of the file you want to process. The options must be preceded by a dash (-).
