Newbie: Centering Image in montage on command line

[jacktripper1000]

Hi, I am new to using ImageMagick command line interface. I have a image and I want to add a smaller, second image as footer of the first one centered. However when I do that, I am getting it left aligned only.

This is the command I am running.

Code: Select all

montage main.jpg footer.gif -gravity center -tile 1x2 out.jpg

I am not sure what I am missing here.
Please help.

Any particular reason you want to use montage?

This should do what you want:

Code: Select all

convert main.jpg footer.gif -gravity south -composite out.jpg

or

convert main.jpg footer.gif -background somecolor -gravity south -append out.jpg

the -background is only needed it the widths of the two images differ.

see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... php#append and http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/layers/#append
