Hello Ben,
 vmtkimagecompose is for taking two images having the same dimensions (e.g. 
256x256x128) and 
producing an image by performing a pixel-wise operation on the inputs (e.g. 
output[i,j,k] = input1[i,j,k] x input2[i,j,k]) 
The pixel-wise operation can be min, max, multiply and subtract, as of now.
The negatei2 option means that input2[i,j,k] is multiplied by -1 before the 
operation is applied.

Typically, vmtkimagecompose comes in handy when you need to merge two level 
sets segmentations
over the same input image. Using -operation min (the default), the output level 
set will be the pixel-wise 
minimum between the two level sets, which leads to the segmented surfaces being 
fused together.

Hope this helps

Luca
