Q: 

How to create semi-transparent image using imagemagick

I have a hex (i.e. #FF0000) color and want to generate 50% transparent 50x50 image using imagemagick from command line.

+1  A: 

I had to figure out something similar when I was working with CSS 3 and RGBA.

convert -size 50x50  xc:'rgba(255,0,0,0.5)' red_0.5_pixel.png
