create image with transparent background with ImageMagick
I am currently working on a script to process assets for a game. I am breaking down old assets and reorganizing them for a new format. The original images have transparent backgrounds already. When I append images back together there is a white background applied to part of the image.
Most sources say to just use -background "#FFFFFF" to turn anything white transparent. But some of my assets use white and if I use this then the asset is destroyed.
This is the First image I am merging with this Second image and here is the output of script
here is part of my script. I would like to just say -background none but that does not work. How can I create an image without adding a background?
convert output3.png output4.png -append output6.png
convert output6.png output5.png -append output7.png
convert output7.png space.png -append -background none output8.png

Hi Andrew, I don't experience what you say. Please notice that the parameter isnone, you typednune. I downloaded your first and second pics and got a good output usingconvert first.png second.png -append -background none output.png
