Have you tried replicating what your code is doing with convert? This
doesn't sound like a PHP issue.

[PHP] generate a thumbnail with imagick and place a logo on top

[A Freund]

Hello,

I have a problem creating thumbnails with imagick. The code is working
ok and the thumbnail is generated in the right size etc but when I try
to place a PDF logo on the thumbnail it turns half transparent. I guess
it has something to do with that the PDF file is generated in InDesign
and probably hasn't any background defined. Has anyone come across this
problem or has an idea what to do about it? I tried to put a white
canvas in the background but that didn't help. I also specified a
channel for the compositeImage function but that didn't help either.

This is the PDF file I'm having issues with:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13712643/Case_Study.pdf

The generated Thumbnail looks like this:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13712643/Case_Study1.jpg


The code I have produced so far: http://pastebin.com/74CYC972


Thank you for your help.

All the best,
Andreas
