ImageMagick: Legacy | Command-line Tools: Composite (original) (raw)
Use the composite program to overlap one image over another. See Command Line Processing for advice on how to structure your composite command or see below for example usages of the command.
We list a few examples of the composite command here to illustrate its usefulness and ease of use. To get started, lets overlay a smiley face over a rose:
The composite command recognizes these options. Click on an option to get more details about how that option works.
