montage *.png -background none -geometry 64x64+10+10 -tile 8x8 output.png | Indentify -verbose on my output.png The output told me that, my | background colour in my otuput.png was white an the transparent colour | was black. | | whereas I need my background colour to be black in output.png. | In what way? Background color is just a setting in the output image format. Very very very few programs ever make use of that setting. Transparent color on the other hand is the color o fthe index used in an images pallette, to represent transparency. That should be setable using the -transparent-color setting. See IM Examples, GIF transparency color. http://imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#gif_trans PS: you c=don't need to specify both X and Y in -tile you can use -tile 8x or -tile x8 This insures only ONE image will be produced whcih is large enough to hold ALL the images given.
