I see, you have to actually kinda read it in reverse to understand more easily what the output is supposed to... output ^^
Well, good to know , thanks

Yeah, the fact that -geometry is before -composite is what confused me for a bit, it's not really an option to the command -composite, but an option to the arguments of the command -composite.

And yeah, your way works for when the output is the same size as 1.png (or when 2.png is inside 1.png ...

Hello,

I am very new to Imagemagick, trying to understand how the command lines are working, and i am having some trouble.

First, i don't understand what the keyword convert does.
