Ah, it's multiply in that way. I was thinking of blending options like those in Photoshop. Never mind, I get it now.

The text is not always black, it can be any color. Will this code also work than?

Thanks snibgo, that seems to work! But is multiply giving the same results as normal opacity? I don't need special- or blending effects.

Thanks snibgo. I know but that's not the problem. The image of the text is a full black box (of the image boundaries) at the opacity given with "-evaluate set 40%". The text is completely gone. Here are some input images: Image: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3039204/imagemagick/forum/image.jpg ...

I'm creating a composition of images with methods as described here: http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=23883. For each layer I create separate image first (according all selected options in app), and then I'm merging those in one image. The problem is with text images ...

Thanks snibgo, exactly as I needed! This proves again this forum is a great way of IM support

First, I've searched the forum and docs but I can't find a similar question to mine. I hope you all can help me. I want to add an semi-transparent surrounding inner-border of 20 pixels (for example) to a single jpg image. With -shave and -border I've created the inner border effect already, but I've ...

Thanks fmw42! That seems to do the trick. Is it also possible to get the width & height of the loaded image source.jpg, instead of manually entering pixel sizes?

I just posted the input files above in the original post. The wood image should be exactly on the white lines on source.jpg.
I think I can handle the DPI problem by myself right now, but I don't think "composite" is the right command for my use.

Hello, I struggling with this issue. I have two files: Source image (landscape) created with "convert" with -units PixelsPerInch at a density of 20 Wood vertical tile image @ 150 DPI I need to overlay the source image with the wooden tiles next to each other in multiply mode, but I can't get it ...

Thanks for your thorough explanaition and examples, I will look into it and see what option suits me my needs the most.

You guys helped me big time, appreciate it!

I think snibgo's approach gives a good result, is easy to understand, and is easy to modify as you need. -distort is capable scaling without the needing a separate -resize. It with give slightly better results slightly quicker, but it's not worth it. Or -distort SRT could have been replaced with ...

Thanks snibgo! It works! You said there are many approaches, I really would like to know the main differences between them and why you chose this one. I'm willing to learn and in my opinion the docs are not a good starting point for a beginner. I was struggling with -geometry and -distort, but it ...

Hello, I've been struggling with this issue for two days now, I hope you guys can help me out. I want to combine several images onto one fixed size image, where each item has it's own position (gravity northwest) and rotation (from center). I tried multiple options with "-page", "-composite ...
