Re: Exporting images

I downloaded imageMagick and have it working to append images together. This is good, but I do want to import the images as separate layers, so that they are independent and I can rearrange them. Do you know how to do this? I have checked the user guide, but it doesn't seem to tell how to do this.
Thanks for your help, Jon

I thought it would be easy, but I'm having trouble with layers too. I did get it to work saving the output as a gif, so I wonder if I don't have all the support libraries to write multi-layer psds. `#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Image::Magick; my $image1=new Image::Magick; $image1->Read("dir1/1.gif","dir1/2.gif"); $image1->Write("dir1.gif");` [download] I'm opening this multi-layer-gif in gimp. I don't know if photoshop will open it the same way. Update: .tif also works as a multi-layer file, at least you won't have to combine both images down to an 8 bit pallette.	[reply] [d/l]

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Image::Magick;

my $image1=new Image::Magick;
$image1->Read("dir1/1.gif","dir1/2.gif");
$image1->Write("dir1.gif");
