Re: Transparent Background

Hi Carl,

This may have to do with the order in which the background is assigned.
Although I haven't tried it, you may want to put the '-background white'
before the flatten command.

If that doesn't work, ImageMagick has an '-alpha off' setting as well,
which does work on removing transparency for me.
