Rectangular area that the overlay image covers. To disable any modification to the background image outside the " compose:outside-overlay" (see Outside-Overlay Setting), can be set to a value of ' false' For more details seeĪs of IM v6.5.3-4, the special Define Setting Modified and to what degree by the resulting composition. Used to define and control what parts of the background image will be Sometimes a third mask image is added to the command. However, both the overlay image and any meta-data it contains, isĭeleted when the composite operation is finished. Re-positioned relative to the fixed background image (usually using The fixed background or destination image. The overlay image, or source image, controls how the " -compose" method should modify It's position is fixed and usually forms theĬanvas which you are building, thus the name background. The background sets not only the final size of the Image Compositionīut meta-data, such as 'comments', 'labels', 'density', 'profiles' and The more important image is the background image, also often called theĭestination image, is the image that is modified by Image Composition. Practical examples of both techniques (and more) can be reviewed in Layers of Multiple Images, and is recomended Which you prepare and merge images forming a new image. Order is practical as you are generally working with a primary canvas over Note the reversed order of the images when using " convert". The " convert" operator " -composite" can also do ImageĬomposition as part of a larger image processing task. Having a dedicated command demonstrates just how important Image The " composite" command is the conventional method of compositing The following commands are the two direct image 'composite' methods available inĬomposite Or you can discover precise mathematical details by readingĪlpha Compositing page, which describes the more important image Or, asĪ good alternate introduction on Image Composition is SVG Compositing inģ0 Minutes.

ImageĬomposition is used for blending and averaging images, transfering imageĬhannels, cutting, joining, or layering odd shaped segments of images. It is associated with Alpha Composition whichĭescribes the result based on which part of the overlay is transparent. Image Composition is the process of merging two (and only two) images inĪ variety of ways. Of a larger sequence of operations or internally by other image operators.
