Help with Merging two Images

Thousands of Designs on to a T-shirt template

[4crests]

I have a jpg of a T-shirt. I want to add several thousand unique images, one by one onto the T-shirt and save it as a new file. So, when I am done, I will have several thousand t-shirt images, each with it's own logo.

If you are familiar with CafePress, that's what i'm talking about. But, they do it on their site.

I just want to find a Shareware program, or possibly a Script for Corel, that will allow me to do it in BATCH mode. It's taking way too long doing them one at a time. I did find a shareware program called "MERGE", but it didn't work very well.

Anyone have any ideas?

possible solution in your sticky mail.

Another approach you might consider -- have the logos in gif files that use transparency. Then put the t-shirts in a background image.

Tedster, how could this be done in a BATCH type function? Any ideas

Anyone else have a solution?

I want to end up with actual new JPG files of the merged pictures.

Are the images all the same size? If not you could try a batching them into 2/3 regular file sizes. I.e. If you have landscape, stretched and protrait I'd run three. Once you have three folders of indentically sized images you can place one of them into your t-shirt image and save as jpeg. Then capture that process as an action and batch it for each folder.

This is one way to do it in photoshop - I'm guessing the batch command in corel draw is similar.

Deejay.... I went back and tried the Merge software again, and was able to make it work. It was a simple box i needed to click, that I missed the first time.

Works great now. Thanks for mentioning it, or I might not have given it a second try.

Very cool! Thanks for the heads-up - I'll be giving it a go at some stage too. :)
