png transparency when overlaying two images

[chainas]

Hello,

i tried to find similar problem using search, but no exact results found. So i will try to explain my problem.

Image one (background):

Image two (image over background):

Expected result (overlayed image):

I made it local in my cmd (on windows) with this command:

Code: Select all

composite -geometry +60+40 manutd.png bg.jpg overlayed.jpg

But when i try to do this command in my symfony php sfImageMagickAdapter class file, i getting black background of manutd.png image.

So my question is, maybe there are some additional overlaying parameters to overlay those images more correclty ?

Thanks for answers

You should use -gravity with -geometry:

Code: Select all

composite manutd.png bg.jpg -gravity northwest -geometry +60+40  overlayed.jpg

I tried Your suggestions, but still no result.

You can use convert as well:

Code: Select all

convert bg.jpg manutd.png -gravity northwest -geometry +60+40 -composite overlayed.jpg

Note the order of images changes.

Yeach, but still no result. Maybe i need to remove somehow the background of png image before overlaying ?

I used your images and they worked OK.

When you run this from the command prompt do you get a rw- next to png, png24, png32 and png8

Code: Select all

convert -list Format
