OTHER TIPS

I believe the example "Using Masks with Images" covers this. Simply disable the alpha channel, and copy over the second image as opacity composite. Add -negate option to invert the 0% ~ 100% opacity -- if needed.

 convert map_image.png elevation_mask.png \
         -alpha Off -compose CopyOpacity -composite \
         out.png

alpha mask
