composite from portion of another image.

[philh]

I've been trying to figure out a way to take a portion of one image and composite it on another with out running a separate convert -crop command, but I'm not having any luck.

So for instance, I'm trying to composite a portion, 1920x50px portion of one image onto a full 1920x1080px image.

Ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

see parenthesis processing and clones at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#parenthesis

something like:

convert image1 \( image2 -crop ... +repage \) -geometry +X+Y -compose ... -composite result

Code: Select all

convert image1 \( image2 -crop ... +repage \) -geometry +X+Y -compose ... -composite result

Or using image layers, just replace the crop position with the position you want!

Code: Select all

  convert image1 \( image2 -crop ... -set page +X+Y \) -flatten  result
