[Solved][IM7]Paste bigger image to smaller without cropping.

[eustachy]

Hello

I have a folder with scanned files in diffrent paper formats.
If file is smaller than A4 size, I need to paste it to white page in A4 size (I created a blank whie document in that size), But if the file is bigger than A4 size it is staying in his original format. So I try simple:

Code: Select all

\composite.exe" A5Image.jpg A4White.jpg ResultA4.jpg

This is great it is workiing as I want, but:

Code: Select all

\composite.exe" A3Image.jpg A4White.jpg ResultA3.jpg

Is croping to background image size - A4. That's bad.

I try several things:

Code: Select all

\composite.exe" -compose src-atop -define compose:outside-overlay=false A3Image.jpg A4White.jpg ResultA3.jpg

I try to change order:

Code: Select all

\composite.exe" -compose dst-over A4White.jpg A3Image.jpg ResultA3.jpg

This works, and I have an A3 document (Original size), but:

Code: Select all

\composite.exe" -compose dst-over A4White.jpg A5Image.jpg ResultA4.jpg

That give me A5 size document, that I need to be in A4.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Instead of composite.exe, I would use convert.exe. The two inputs must then be reversed.

In convert.exe, use "-layers merge", eg:

Code: Select all

convert A4White.jpg A5Image.jpg -compose Over -layers merge ResultA4.jpg
