Convert and resize together

[indusam]

Hello everyone!
I need to put one image (overlay 2748x820 px) on another (background 1000x1000 px). During this operation I want to change overlay size intentionally and preserve background's size change
So I try to use such line (Win 8.1, x64, command line):

magick convert background.jpg \( overlay.png -gravity center -resize 200 \) -composite result.jpg

but it changes both the size of overlay and backround images so that result image is 200x200 px while I want have result image 1000x1000 px (like background) and overlay image 200x60 px in the center of it.

is it possible? thanks for your help in advance

You have \( \and \). Those escapes are needed for bash. They are not correct for Windows. Use just ( and ) .

Also for ImageMagick 7, use just magick and not magick convert. Other tools such as identify, mogrify, etc do need to be prefaced by magick, but not convert. When removing the \s, be sure to keep the space on each side of each parenthesis.

You need magick, but not convert

Code: Select all

magick background.jpg ( overlay.png -gravity center -resize 200 ) -composite result.jpg
