Not all functions take arguments, but most do. In the following, the Blur command has an argument of 50 (the amount of blur you want to apply): shake truck.iff -blur 50 You can append as many functions as you want: shake truck.iff -blur 50 -invert r -z 2 Appendix A The Shake Command-Line Manual 1017
