Hello,

I'm trying to make a simple transparent square using:

convert -size 200x200 xc:none -fill '#0008' square.png


But if doesn't work.

I've read on the forum that I need to use dstOut but I don't find any example.

Can you provide a simple example who draws a square or a rectangle filled ...

This is the result:

Now the script to do this:

CAPTION="BMW's By Night | Photos by Pol D. | through-my-eyes.be"
FONT="./fonts/BMW75.TTF ...

For example
convert -size 200x100 gradient: gradient.png
convert -size 200x100 -background none -gravity center \
label:"Testing" png32:gradient_text_cutter.png
convert gradient.png gradient_text_cutter.png \
-alpha set -compose DstOut -composite png32:gradient_text_hole.png

Hello,

Thanks for the script, it helped me a bit.

I'm trying to split the problem into different parts so I can understand the commands.
I already splitted up the gradient bar creation using this command:

convert -size 30x1024 gradient:none-black -rotate -90 +repage gradient.png


Now, I'm ...

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

That's the question, I'm wondering how to make that rectangle on the top.

I'm trying to split up operations like:


Drawing rectangle with gradient and put it on the original image at south.
Draw text on the top of that image

Maybe I can use the previous command ...

Hello,

Sorry to dig up old topics but I'm wondering if it is possible to make a gradient of that background.

Instead of having a rectangle in the bottom filled with the same color, would it be possible to make an horizontal gradient, from transparent to that color ?

Thanks !

If you are trying to save time on lots of images I would try and find the image dimensions out of ImageMagick. Its only microseconds but:

ImageMagick identify
Width = 4000 - Time = 0.144232034683
php getimagesize()
Width = 4000 - Time = 0.00023889541626


I see you are resizing at the end ...

mogrify Only if you can avoid generating and compositing an extra image.
which is imposible the way you have it due to the composition blur.
But you can DIY a convert loop to do a directory of images.

Yes this is already what I'm doing ...

Hello,

I'm looking for a new signatures for my photos and I made a news script based on what I saw on those 'so helpful' forums and I would like to improve my script.

Here is the code:

convert $IMAGE \( +clone -blur 0x10 +level 20%,100% -fill black -colorize 30% \) \
\( +clone -gamma 0 -shave ...

Just one word: THANKS

Anthony your da man !

Thanks alot and keep up the good work!

Hello Anthony,

I browsed your website again and again but what you tell me to do only put a box under the text.

Me I want a rectangle on the bottom of the image, on the whole bottom side. Is it possible ?

thanks

Hello all,

I'm a Belgian user of Imagemagick and I'm looking for a smart way to watermark my photos.
I read alot of tutorials, but no one could help me :(

The image you see that has been done in Gimp, like that, you can see better what I'm hardly trying to do...
