Re: Fade text (label) on transparent background to transparent.

Fixed it. Using CopyAlpha was the right direction, but I had to make sure the Alpha was the entire 'text', not just the gradient. So the following https://i.imgur.com/pqUu7Ol.png with the following Alpha (using CopyAlpha on the image above) https://i.imgur.com/nia2iqS.png Comes to this: https://i.im...

Re: Fade text (label) on transparent background to transparent.

The code I've provided is just what I use for my examples. I've changed filledMaskText to MagickColors.Red and GradientMaskText to gradient:red-none but when I composite multiply them I get the 'redder red' version, whereas I just want actual red (255 0 0) fading to transparent.

Re: Fade text (label) on transparent background to transparent.

alas, that's what I've also tried (with the second example). It looks good, but the red is more 'redder'. so I've tried white-transparent and red-transparent (and just the CopyAlpha with a white-black) The original should have RGB(255,0,0), but if I multiply a transparent-red gradient over it the re...

Fade text (label) on transparent background to transparent.

Hello I'm trying to create the following: Text (in any color) on a transparent background which in itself starts fading into nothing (transparency) starting from a certain width. This is an example that I've made in Photoshop (using a Layer Mask) and what it should be: https://i.imgur.com/cp4gmvs.pn...

Re: Rough anti-aliasing

And now I have solved the issue, heh... I've changed completeTextBox.Composite(completeMask, 0, 0); to completeTextBox.Composite(completeMask, 0, 0, CompositeOperator.Multiply); Which is logical, when you think about it but I didn't make the connection that opacity might get screwed up when using co...

Re: Rough anti-aliasing

-snip-

I thought I solved the issue, but I just put Dissolve to zero (which just removes the 'overlay'), so that's not the way to go.

Rough anti-aliasing

Hello I'm using the following code to put text on a gradient background: using ImageMagick; namespace TextToPicture { class Slideshow { static void Main(string[] args) { using (var image = new MagickImage(MagickColors.White, 320, 240)) { image.Density = new Density(300); image.Format = MagickFormat....

See following ImageMagick command (taken from https://www.imagemagick.org/script/gradient.php ) magick -size 256x128 -define gradient:direction=east gradient:black-white linear_gradient_east.png I've managed to translate it to .NET, except the gradient:direction part I've tried various things as see...

Re: Magick.NET - Fade to transparent

I've managed to solve it, I had to set the masking color to the font color instead of black, and the font color to white.

My mask was also a gradient from black to white, and it should be from the color you want the font to be to transparent (none).

No idea, I've been trying to 'translate' the command used for overlapping photos here: https://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/photos/#overlap I'm trying to combine a caption 'text-box' and an empty, transparent image with a masking image so that the text at the predefined edges start to fade into nothing...

Magick.NET - Fade to transparent

Hello I'm currently writing a C# application which should print (wordwrapped) text over a predefined height and width where the extreme edges should fade into transparency. I am using the latest C# MagickImage package (AnyCpu, Q8, 7.5.0) at the time of writing. These parameters are provided (shorten...
