Hello,

Been struggling with this for a day or so, imagemagick noob that I am, but
learn't something about imagemagick along the way at least :)

What I'm trying to achieve is to have a final image that's two images stuck
together, the original plus a modified version side by side (for use as a
CSS 'sprite' in an image gallery index).

I'm also trying to do this within the context of a php CMS called Drupal
(specifically the imageapi/imagecache/imagecache_actions modules if anyones
interested), which puts certain constraints on what I can do - I need to do
this convert all in one command (preferably).

I thought clone and append would help, something like this:

convert input.png +clone -modulate 110,0 -fill '#A1ECFF' -tint 100 +append
output.png

but clone causes imagemagick to complain that 'clone requires a sequence'.
I've played with separate, but only managed to use that on certain channels,
not the whole image. And even then the append just seems to replace the
image instead of adding to the original.

So is there anyway to copy modify and append an image to its original using
just convert, and all in one command?

Or do I need to accept that this requires multiple convert operations at
least, and quite possibly use use of other tools, such as montage?

TIA

Adrian
