Michael,
Your link to your picture does not work:
http://beta.posters2prints.com/FW324.jpg
I can see the result, though.
Is the black area around the picture a part of the picture or is it a
border that you have added with text for the artist's name?
Also you mentioned two mattes. Is the black area the second matte? If
not are you talking about two different matte textures or is one of
them always a solid color?
I can try to modify my script to add one or two mattes and use
textured swatches if provided, but I need to know whether one of the
two is always a solid color.
Do you have any examples of the use of two mattes, especially if they
are textured?
Fred
Okay, I've been beating my head against the wall all night and think that I
finally have somewhat of a workable solution, but I know its not optimal.
So, I was hoping that I could get some help from the experts.
As you all probably know, my task it to take a picture and frame it with an
actual picture frame, which Is currently working using Fred's method
(Anthony, I haven't had time to get your frame pieces one up and running but
I'm sure I'll get there).
To add to this complexity, sometimes users will need to add 1 or 2 Mats of
varying widths. I thought this was solved with the -border and -bordercolor
operators, but unfortunately it seems the mats we are using are not just
solid colors and have a bit of texture to them. Plus, I can never quite get
the hexidecimal close enough to the actual mat color that we received via
color swatch.
Basically I need to tile a color swatch:

behind a picture:
http://beta.posters2prints.com/FW324.jpg
around an image. I have come up with a way to do it, but I'm not sure
whether its optimal, or if there is a way to work it into my framing
command. Here are the basic commands:
convert -size 270x386 tile:test2.gif tile_size.gif
composite -gravity center FW324.jpg -compose Over \( tile_size.gif \)
test1.gif
The result:

Is actually pretty much what I'm looking for. My methodology above creates a
bigger image than the picture and tiles the swatch over that. Then I place
the original image over the bigger, tiled swatch picture.
Now, what I'd really like to do is make it faster and combine it with my
crazy framing command (obviously this contains my old way of matting, and is
Fred's method of framing):
(this uses a different image than above, hence the different dimensions)
convert \( -size 445x512 xc:white \) \( /tmp/brcorner41755381685frame.png
-rotate 180 \) -gravity NorthWest -composite \(
/tmp/brcorner41755381685frame.png[1x52+0+0] -filter point -resize 337x52!
-flip \) -gravity North -composite \( /tmp/brcorner41755381685frame.png
-flip \) -gravity NorthEast -composite \(
/tmp/brcorner41755381685frame.png[54x1+0+0] -filter point -resize 54x408!
-flop \) -gravity West -composite \(
/tmp/GOR-1171755381685main.jpg-bordercolor white -border 2x2+0+1
-bordercolor '#ffffff' -border 36x36 \)
-gravity Center -composite \( /tmp/brcorner41755381685frame.png[54x1+0+0]
-filter point -resize 54x408! \) -gravity East -composite \(
/tmp/brcorner41755381685frame.png -flop \) -gravity SouthWest -composite \(
/tmp/brcorner41755381685frame.png[1x52+0+0] -filter point -resize 337x52! \)
-gravity South -composite \( /tmp/brcorner41755381685frame.png \) -gravity
SouthEast -composite /tmp/GOR-1171755381685main.jpg
