Ok here we go:

I take the above image and place the next image over it with a gravity of south west

$bottom_left_image

This creates this:

Looking back it doesn't make much sense. I'll post an example of the image I want to achieve

I've made some progress in creating a mask, but I'm having trouble changing background to a gradient.

"\( -gravity SouthEast "\( -pointsize 30 -background black -fill white -font \"$below_font\" \"label:$content\" -splice 0x8 \) ".
"\( +clone +matte -fill Sienna -colorize 100% \) ".
" \( -clone ...

Apologies anthony, my server doesn't like it when it's split into lines annoyingly.

This is a bit cheeky of me, but could you refactor my command with your suggested fixes? I'm struggling to visualise how the code should look.

Thanks!

Can you create a label and use it as a mask in one command instead of creating the label as an image, then using that image as a mask?

Here is the command I currently have:

convert "master/4289_banner-lg2_MASTER.jpg" \( -gravity SouthWest "tabs/bottom_bar.png" \( -pointsize 20 -background ...

Gradients for the letters is what I meant.

I got to a point where I can do what I want with labels as suggested. Now what if I want to add a gradient to the text? Is that possible with labels, or will I have to use -annotate? If so, can I use +append with -annotate?

anthony, that's where I was before pango, but couldn't work out how to position the fonts.
I was looking for something similar to the draw text position.

I'll take a look at those examples though.

Pango looks very very interesting. I don't know how I've not come across it before!

I'll give it a go, thanks alot!

I have a the following text "FROM £1.99" that I want to generate.

The problem is I want the "FROM" to be a different size font to the "£1.99".

Is there any way to place the "FROM" next to the "£1.99" ? I tried using -repage but that sets the canvas to the middle of the £1.99, what I need is to ...
