I really like the filter, but encountered more issues this afternoon when I tried it out again on an image with transparent background.

.. the GMIC preview shows ...

... and yes I can handle the black circular backgrounds but the output does not correspond to the preview ...

... original image is ...

I tried a number of times to create the specific outcome I wanted using the scrip against shaped images with a transparent background; however, in the end, I felt there was far too much cleaning up to be performed so I made up my own versions ...

Graechan or Dinasset - am I missing something obvious here in the script?

OMG,
it looks like the filter wants to have in input a "rounded" image over a transparent BG
that way it behaves like this:

Thank you both Graechan and Dinasset for looking into my problem with shaped images in this filter. :tyspin

Dinasset, I am happy with your observation because I had an inkling that a circular image was probably a requirement. Now I will rework my other 5 shaped images to get them to work correctly.
