Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

I have gone through the examples and also searched the forums, but have been unable to find a solution to a problem I am trying to handle.

I would like to be able to upload an image, in this example, a picture of my father. I would then make a custom oval object. I would like to be able to move this custom object to where it frames my fathers face in the image and then perform a clipping of the uploaded image. This would remove all pixels outside of my oval object on the uploaded image. I have been able to get an image uploaded and also created an oval object, but am unsure if this clipping that I want is possible. Any ideas?

Thanks for taking a look at my problem. Cheers!

What version of IM? On what platform?

This seems simple, for example, assuming oval.png has a white oval on black background: Does that help? If not, please post links to sample images.

Please, always provide your IM version and platform when asking questions, since syntax may differ.

Also provide your exact command line and your images, if possible.
