Montage always strip PNG alpha?

Post by speeder »

Hello!

I have a image sequence that has alpha... It was rendered in the wrong position, and I used mogrify to rotate them...

If I open them they still have alpha...

Then I use "montage -mode Concatenate -tile 8x" and the alpha is stripped... I tried several options (like -alpha and -depth) to no avail...

Can someone help me with that? (the input is the rotated png files, the output is another png file)

See Montage, Background and Transparency Handling

however as you are concatenating, perhaps you want to use +/- append instead
