[magick-users] help with overlaying text

[Keith Cornett]

I have read for 3 hours but can't find how to make the picture image
show through behind the text.  I get a box around the text that covers
the picture.  How do I make the color inside the box transparent?

 

convert -size 300x -background transparent -fill blue -font poor-richard
label:"My Text Here" text.jpg

composite -geometry +200+1 text.jpg picture.jpg result.jpg

 

Thanks,

Keith
