how would you create an inner drop shadow in text?
The outer one is documented in php
e.g. outer light drop shadow to create 'cut-out' text :
$layer = $text_layer->clone();
$layer->setImageBackgroundColor( new ImagickPixel( 'white' ) );
$layer->shadowImage( 70, .3, 1, 1 );
But how would you create an inner drop shadow?
Thanks

Neither Imagemagick nor Imagick have an innershadow command. You will have to script that from multiple commands.

This is one way to get an innershadow in command line:

Code: Select all

convert -size 600x -background black -bordercolor black -border 10 \
-fill white -font Arial -pointsize 124 label:"TESTING" \
-negate -background black -alpha background -alpha copy -background black  -shadow 80x3+5+5 \
-compose over -background white -flatten -shave 10x10 result.png

Please always provide your Imagemagick version and platform with your posts.

It would also help if you provide and example image of what you want to do.
