Thanks for the reply. I assume 'meta spaces' means " " or something like it. Instead of copy/paste from the tutorial, I typed it in and I still do not get a composite. I get the white A in one file, but the composite command simply creates a file with a rose, no A overlaid. The version of IM with Kubuntu Dapper is : 6.2.4 -- is this a known problem with this version? I don't want to go the compilation route as that would confuse the package system (and removing imagemagick by apt-get is just not an option with all the other stuff that depends on it.) -- unless there's an easy way for the two versions to live side-by-side. As to the -shadow operator, I was experimenting with it and came to the point where the picture was to be overlaid on the shadow, but composite just won't work. /d _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list [email protected] http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
