Overlay or screen image alias with ImageMagick

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

I solved the issue, after reading this post:

Basically, adding "+swap" did the trick.
