Image Magic

You will need a gif with a transparent background. You can use this one to practice, then go find one of your liking. I urge you to make one with your own gif. The basic instructions are the same. Resizing to doublesize will make sure you have enough room to work. Adjust the composite co-ordinates to fit your particular gif.

Original 1

At IM enter url for your gif.

Scroll to paint function. Choose RESET, COLOR, type #fefefe in the color box.

Resize = doublesize.

Composite flowers - OVER

Center +20+30 --- ROTATE 45

Composite OVER again

Center -50+20 --- ROTATE -50

Annotate name in choice of font and color. Color should be on the darkside.

My coordinates - South +0+75 -- Point size= 60

Go to ENHANCE.

Choose Gamma @ 6.2

Back to composite.

Comp the flowers OVER - center -35-0

Annotate name again using these coordinates -- ten more than the coords you used for the first anno.

So, I used South +0+75, new coords are South +10+85

Trim, and output as a jpg.

Result 1
