Make png image semi transparent

[Artman]

Hello all, I read in ImageMagick v6 Examples -- Color Basics and Channels
what i can draw images semi transparent.

Code: Select all

convert -size 50x50    xc:'#00FF0030'   color_hex_5.png

if i can convert existing png image to semi transparent?
so while it used on web page will be possible see page background?

Multiply the alpha channel by a number between zero and one, eg by 0.75 to give an opaque image 75% opacity (25% transparency):

Code: Select all

convert in.png -channel A -evaluate Multiply 0.75 +channel out.png

Sir, while i use this command on this sweet guy its seems not work.

but if i use as IN.PNG result of this command

Code: Select all

magick 000.png -alpha set -gravity center -extent 90x90 ^
          badge_mask.png -compose DstIn -composite ^
          badge_shading.png -compose Over -composite kitty.png

its work! magick!

you can explain to me that i miss please.

Code: Select all

you can explain to me that i miss please.

Using snibgo's command example above, try putting "-alpha set" right after you read in the input image, like this...

Code: Select all

convert in.png -alpha set -channel A -evaluate Multiply 0.75 +channel out.png

Also, although unrelated to ImageMagick, you can make almost any image on a web page semi-transparent by applying a style. That can be done on the CSS, or directly in the HTML tag for a particular image. Something like this should work on nearly any modern browser...

Code: Select all

<img src="imagepath/image.png" alt="My Transparent Picture" style="opacity: 0.5;" />

Yep. Now its work. Thanks a lot to everyone.
ps: GeeMack, i'm only user in this specific site but thanks for advise anyway.

I have one more question. if its possible use this technique in GIF?
I never see semi transparent gif and i try now but its give just white image.

GIF only supports binary transparency (on or off). It does not support values other than 100% and 0%.

GIF only offers full transparency. To get partial transparency you'd need to convert your GIF to PNG and then proceed.

test

second test


GIF created from semi transparent PNG's just completely transparent.


thanks to all so far.

Hello again. Guys, maybe you can provide help to me with something else?
please tell me witch command will color from black to gold this image
and witch command will put together two images like this

[snibgo]

See the "opaque" and "composite" commands at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... ptions.php

[Artman]

snibgo thanks. i read and create next batch file

Code: Select all

magick ../img/background.png ^
	( ../img/overlay2.png -resize 230% ) ^
	-gravity center ^
	-composite ^
	../composite.png

the result look like this

not so best. i download vector http://www.clker.com/cliparts/d/7/J/8/r/Z/percy.svg
and run command

Code: Select all

magick  ../img/background.png ^
	( ../img/overlay.svg -resize 55% ) ^
	-gravity center ^
	-composite ^
	../composite2.png

result:

tell me please how i can fix it. i never not work with vector.

[snibgo]

Converting a vector (SVG) file to pixels, then enlarging that ("-resize 230%") will give a fuzzy result. I suggest you use "-density" instead.
