Problem with overlays after updating ImageMagick

Post by sjoerd »

I'm having problems with ImageMagick at the moment. I decided to uninstall ImageMagick and reinstall the latest version (I also made sure that I know installed the Q8 version for resource benefits).

Now some of my commands are not working anymore (and used to work fine in the old version, don't know exactly which version that was).
For example command: /usr/local/bin/convert -density 300 -gravity NorthWest -draw "image Over 80,80,0,0 '/var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs/images/logos/overlay-colorplates.gif'" -colorspace rgb "/var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs/Files/colorplate.pdf" -resize 2480x3508 -background white -flatten "/var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs/Files/colorplate.gif"

It does generate the resized colorplate.gif but however it lacks an overlay (overlay-colorplates.gif). I've been trying shuffling the arguments around but nothing seems to work. The PDF consists of 1 single page.
