Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello guys,

I"m looking for some easy ready-to-use solution for the following process:
(Please advice me if Imagemagic can do it):

- take a random pick of any size from the given folder
- take a random piece of text from the chosen .txt
- overlay text on the picture
- save the result to the chosen folder
+ repeat the above сycle N times with one and the same set to mix combinations in different ways

If it's impossible to do by ImageMagic, than maybe someone here has a script like I describe or knows where it can be lookes for?

Thank you!

ImageMagick can overlay text on a picture.

A script could choose the random picture and random text.

IM can also automatically size the text to a given area.

Though rotations, and other effects need to be added seperatally.

All you really need do is put it all together in a script.
