Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I am trying to create multiple images with layers where specific images are nested into the graphic. I am currently using Photoshop variables as a way to build these graphics. I am exploring new more stable options, faster options. I wanted to see if someone could tell me if IM is capable of creating something like the attached file for hundreds of images.

1.) I need text to change per subject
2.) Need there to be foreground, mid ground and background "layers"
3.) New image that matched text for each file

This is one image type. Probably the most intricate. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rq3nf91edpgp7 ... M.jpg?dl=0

ImageMagick easily makes compositions like that. If you upload the components, someone can show you how.

I am moving this topic to the User's forum, since it does not appear to be PAID consulting.

I guess my first question would be based on the "layers" in photoshop what would the components be? Would the layers of the graphic need to be broken down into individual PNG or transparent images so they could be stacked?

Why would you break the layers down to stack them again?

You should be able to stack most images and merge them into one picture; check out this page and see if it answers some of your questions: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/layers/

You said there would be ...

These would be three components that you want to combine into a single image. Is that correct?

If you upload the component images, we can probably show you how to combine them. They might be separate image files, or layers of a Photoshop file. (However, I don't use Photoshop, so can't help you there.)
