satimage,  name of the image from a URL line
0, X
639, Y
176, Width
100, Height
50, 0-255 for image transparency
0, X of crop point within image
10, Y of crop point within image
0, width of crop
305 height of crop


and that didn't work for me either! to 305 is the killer, as it's bigger

that the image and just causing the overlay to fail.  Just set it to 0
and you're done.
