Hi, I've been playing around with ImageMagick for the past couple of days for the purpose of taking in PSDs and generating a JPEG image from any selection of layers from the PSD. So far I've been ecstatic with the results, but when I got a PSD thrown at me that contained a layer with a non-100% opacity setting, I ran into trouble.
For starters, let's just say I run the following: $ convert original.psd out.png In the above example, original.psd has 5 layers, the 4th of which has a non-trivial opacity setting. First of all, the out-0.png looks *fine* - the semitransparent layer renders exactly as I would expect. Looks lovely. However, the out-4.png looks...completely transparent, rather than semi-transparent as I would've liked, or even fully opaque as I would have sooner expected. Additionally, compositing the 4th layer on top of anything has no apparent effect (again seemingly treating the layer as fully transparent). I've had no trouble so far with other layers whose opacities are all set to 100%. Of peculiar note, if I use -compose add before compositing the semitransparent layer, it kind of shows up, but with rather weird blending results (which might be normal for that compositing method?). Ideally I just want this layer to composite with the same default behavior that any other layer would, while keeping its opacity as set in the PSD. Does anyone have any experience with this that could point out what I'm missing? I *am* mostly a newbie with this, so I apologize if I'm missing something really silly. Thanks in advance. --Ken _______________________________________________ Magick-users mailing list [email protected] http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-users
