=======8<-------- Before IM v6.2.9-8 you would have to resort to using a greyscale gradient as an alpha channel mask to a solid color image, to produce the same effect. See 'CopyOpacity' composition method, and Using Masks with Images for such techniques. =======8<-------- So yes the installed version is to old. You will have generate a gradent transparency mask, and merge it into your solid color canvas. See http://imagemagick.org/Usage/channels/#masks Also not that in IM 6.3.1 the gradients were changed to produce a perfect gradient with the same color value across each row. Before this there was a slight horizontal gradient over each row before continuing into the next row.
