[magick-users] Processing PSD Images

[Axel Rosenski]

Hi there, 

this is my first Post on this list and I hope you can help me. 

I'm running Imagemagick (Version: ImageMagick 6.4.3 2008-12-03 Q16 OpenMP 
http://www.imagemagick.org) on a linux machine and I have a set of 
Photoshopimages in varying sizes that I would like to convert into JPG.

I have to extract a clipping path, put it in the middle on a blue canvas with 
a size of 2000x2000 pixel and save this image, resize it in the next step and 
add a watermark image. I like to do this with one convert/composite call.

I found two (nonsatisfying) solutions:

> convert -size 2000x2000 /path/to/foto.psd[0] -flatten -resize 2000x2000 
xc:blue -gravity center +swap -composite -write /path/to/test.jpg -resize 
450x450 -write /path/to/test450.jpg -resize 200x200 /path/to/test200.jpg

This creates me a canvas of 2000x2000px and resizes my images to the given 
size. When I try to add my watermark I get a proper test.jpg, but test450.jpg 
gets completely white.

The other solution I found out is: 


>convert "foto.psd[1]" -fill "blue" -resize "2000x2000" -size "2000x2000" 
xc:"blue" +swap -gravity "Center" -flatten -write "/path/to/test.jpg" -
composite -gravity "center" "/path/to/watermarkimage" -resize "450x450" -write 
"path/to/test450.jpg" -delete 1 -resize "200x200" "/path/to/test200.jpg"

With this call I have two problems:
- the clipping path image is not centered in the middle of the image 
- the medium and small images are not usable. 
They have a black background with a white bar in the foreground where the 
watermarkimage should be. I played around with some options (-draw 'color 0,0 
floodfill' changed position of command line options).

Can anyone help me to get those two calls together?

Thanks, 
Axel
