Image Overlay

[mdt06042]

I have two tif images that I would like to merge together but I haven't been able to figure exactly how to do this. Both images are scanned images of 8.5x11 pages(2550x3300 pixels). One sheet has pre-printed text and boxes on a form and the other sheet just has the completed text. I would like to super impose the answers onto the pre-printed sheet. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Is it black text on perfectly white background?

try something like (unix syntax)

Code: Select all

convert boxes_image.tif \( text_image.tif -fuzz XX% -transparent white \) -compose over -composite resultimage.jpg

Adjust the XX% as needed up from 0 to ensure you get all the white background as transparent, but not so much that the text gets affected.

If on windows leave off the \ before the parens.

Please always provide your version of IM and platform when asking questions.

Sorry about not including all the information. I am using Windows 7 and IM 6.9.0. It worked perfect! Thank you very much for such a quick reply.
