hi,
im trying to combine 2 images, resizing the 1st and the output...
i got close enough but not quite right

this will resize the overlay charge.png but not the output...

when i try this
it reszie but the ratio of the overlay get messed up....
the overlay appears much bigger then it should,
i know i could have a 2nd line to do the resizing of the output which would solve the problem,
but i much prefer to have it in the one command if possible

Post links to your two input images and show an example of what you want for the output. We can probably help you with the command line once we understand what the issue is.

In the meantime see the geometry modifiers at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... p#geometry

these are the 2 output images,

i'm trying to resize the charge/bolt place it on the battery and resize the whole thing

and this is how it should/ i want it to look

Try:
I would look at changing the "lightning bolt" colour or the battery colour as you can hardly see the "lightning bolt".

The problem is that composite it too old and inflexible and the -resize before the output is causing trouble. Try using the more modern and more flexible convert ... -composite syntax.

convert ( full.png ) ( charge.png -resize 80x80 ) -gravity center -compose over -composite -resize 48x48 out.png

OOPS: Sorry Bonzo, you posted something similar while I was composing my reply.

thanks,
i'm not really worried too much about visibility as the size (or colour as you suggested and the battery picture would also be different) can fix that,
i'm building a tool with a resizing option and the bolt is changable by the user
