How can I blend AND translate at the same time ?
Something like this : http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/layers/#flatten but in such a way that the images are transparent.
I was trying :
composite -blend 90 -page +0+0 input01.jpg -page +500+0 input02.jpg -resize x400 outputSimpleMosaicBlend01.
but this did not work.
So if I have two input images:
Then how can I get an image that looks like the composite image below ?
Any suggestions how to do this programatically (not manually) with ImageMagick ? Or some other tools ?
I would like to create several thousands of composite images like that (for an animation) and I would like to automate the process.
The problem is that I can find examples that overlay images and that translate images but I cannot find examples that do these two operations simultaneously.
This is the main goal of this question, to give such code/script examples, how to do that with image manipulation tools like ImageMagick programmatically.
EDIT:
Things that I tried and did not work:
convert a.jpg -geometry +100+0 b.jpg -compose blend -composite result.jpg
gives:
I tried
convert -background none a.jpg -geometry +100+0 b.jpg -compose blend -composite result.jpg
too which gives the same result.
with this
convert -background none input01.jpg input02.jpg -geometry +1200+0 -compose blend -define compose:args=50 -composite result.jpg
command.
It’s getting close ! Thanks Mark!

Thanks to Snigbo, the following command :
produces:
A slightly different way of doing this is to set the width of the output image using
-extent
and then to overlay the right hand image using-gravity East
to align it to the right edge – seems a fraction more intuitive to me – but go with whatever works for you!
