Overlay or screen image alias with ImageMagick

Chris Detmer	Tuesday 06 May 2008 8:54:53 am I'm attempting to create an image alias with a 'grayed out' or screened look - basically a gray overlay. The documentation on using filters with ImageMagick and eZ is sparse at best. I've tried using the filters for colorspace/gray, transparent and monochrome - none of which provide desirable results. I also have trouble combining filtering and geometry at the same time. Does anyone have any tips or perhaps better documentation and/or experience of their own on filtering with ImageMagick in eZ? Also note, I do not have GD enabled, only ImageMagick. Thanks, - Chris
