At the moment I think it is easier for me to maintain a separate utility that does one thing but does it well, than to integrate the functionality I need into imagemagick sufficiently seamlessly to satisfy my technical pride. But thaks for pointing out that imagemagick does have some support for layers. This wasn't apparent to me the first 20 times I read the manpage :-) (In related news, an xcftools package is now in the NEW queue). -- Henning Makholm "... not one has been remembered from the time when the author studied freshman physics.
