Hi,

I'm trying to use the basic shadow command found here: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/convolve/#shadow

After searching in older posts, I just added to that command "-matte" because I had a jpg

convert spiderman3.jpg -matte ^( +clone -background red -shadow 80x3+5+5 ^) +swap -background none -mosaic shadow1.png

but the result is only a thick border shifted by 5 and not blurry at all. I used red here to make it clear, I'd like to use gray or something (my background will be black, so it must be a light color).

This is the random image I'm playing with. I'd like to use this shadow command independently from the picture

Thanks for your help!

The code below worked for me:

Code: Select all

<?php 
exec("convert boots_layer_2.png -background black -shadow 80x3+5+5 final.png "); 
exec("convert final.png boots_layer_2.png -composite shadow_test.png"); 
?>
