Thank you, yes -splice did help me to apply a vertical padding (in the below image i'll just change the red to transparent in the production). The only thing i cant do is to get the 60% of the quote text's size to apply to "albert einstein" text. But i think i'll just go with a fixed -48 something ...

Thank you for the responses, +trim + repage allows you to start over, but i couldnt not find a way to make a -transparent, 520px- border top only to pad it from the top.

When read from file, they turn out OK, but not from command http://s23.postimg.org/v88en857v/imuni.jpg jpg upload I'm currently using this file workaround; saving ...

I guess so. But i think it'd help a lot with captions if it could be implemented. Because if you have a variable pointsize, or multiple captions, it's almost impossible to define the right margins based on px / %.

Firstly i'd like to say that i read / searched as much as i could, but didnt find anything about this. Simply, can we use pointsize as a measurement - very much like "em"s in css - ? For example I want my caption to go 3 pointsize left from initial position; just like you would do in css left: 3em ...
