how to put a texture on a .png image with transparent background

Input image 1: texture image

Input image 2: .png image file which have a 'deboss' effect

Expected output image with transparent background, deboss effect (not so good as the input image 2, this is best result I can do) and texture:
(I used Photoshop)

Try this:

Code: Select all

convert input-texture.png \
\( out2_a315.png -channel a -negate +channel \) \
\( +clone -alpha extract -negate +write mpr:alpha +delete \) \
-compose multiply -composite \
mpr:alpha -alpha off -compose over -compose copy_opacity -composite \

In photoshop.
I overlay two layers, push Alt button, and used the 'Mask' to get the effect.

Hi fmw42,
Just find another way to get the expected result, IM should be able to do it..
I used Photoshop, right click layer - layer style - bevel and emboss -out put image. The effect is like below:

Input image:
Image

Output image (with a little 'deboss' effect, more is better:) -
I can not simply use "emboss -a 315 ..." to get the expected image.

\( -clone 0 -alpha extract -morphology dilate diamond:1 -write mpr:alpha +delete \) \
texture.png -compose multiply -composite \
mpr:alpha -alpha off -compose copy_opacity -composite result.png
