Image Magick as enough problems just reading multi-layered psd images, let alone creating them. All I can suggest is try, starting simply, and report bugs and things as you find them.

Or better still try and submit patches to the coder.

IM is only as good as the effort people decide to put into it and patches and improvements are always welcome.

Is it possible to create a multi layer tiff file from a set of jpg images.
*It can be using either command line or any kind of programming.
Thanx!

It makes a multi-frame tiff.

convert rose: rose: rose: rose.tiff

identify rose.tiff
rose.tiff[0] TIFF 70x46 70x46+0+0 8-bit TrueColor DirectClass 29.3086kb
rose.tiff[1] TIFF 70x46 70x46+0+0 8-bit TrueColor DirectClass 29.3086kb
rose.tiff[2] TIFF 70x46 70x46+0+0 8-bit TrueColor DirectClass 29.3086kb


What do you mean by multi-layer? IM does not make layers as in Photoshop to my knowledge.

To overlays image you need to use the composite or the convert -compose ... -composite commands. But then they get flattened together into one frame. You can use transparency in doing the composites.
