How can i install it in my website and what command do i use for text?

[CreoWebdesign]

Hey! so my boss just asked me to find him a command for imagemagick to write transparent text on top of very large images. I had no idea what imagemagick was and i still don't. I need to know how he can use imagemagick to sort of watermark images we upload into our website. He asked for a command.

Thanks!

Transparent text wouldn't be visible.

Good places to start reading:

"Transparent text wouldn't be visible."
Why? Aren't there different degrees of transparency? Like in CSS we use opacity:0.8 for example

Yes there are; I would use RGBA for the text colour.

If you are using php I have some examples here.

Yes, you can have partially transparent text if you want.
