[magick-users] RE: Montage - simple resolution question.

[Fred Weinhaus]

Try append in stead of montage

convert d1.gif d2.gif d3.gif d4.gif +append output.gif

or

montage d1.gif d2.gif d3.gif d4.gif -tile 1x4  output.gif

or

montage d1.gif d2.gif d3.gif d4.gif -tile 1x  output.gif

If you need spacing around the images in the montage, then you need 
to add -geometry +2+2 to put 2 pixels around each image before 
combining.

Perhaps your problem is with your output as .ps
