| Hello all,

| I am having an issue clipping a file and saving with a transparent

| 
| convert Test.psd -fill none -colorspace rgb -draw "color 0 0 reset" - 
| clip -colorspace rgb -draw "Image Copy 0,0 0,0 'Test.psd'"  
| OutputFile.png
| 
| This produces a clipped image but with a black background. I can say - 
| fill white, or -fill someOtherColor and it works great but I want a  
| transparent background. Is this possible?
| 
| Thanks in advance,

ASIDE:  if you want the image to have transparency, you need to make
sure the transparent (matte/alpha) channel has been turned on in the
image immediateally after reading it in.

Add a  -matte operator  before the -fill setting.
