That will only work if the images involved are rectangular. You need to 
use a mask and GPXOR it first then GPAND the real image. You still have to
save the original background. Be careful about moving the image only a small
amount where the next image overlaps the last image. restore background,
get new back ground, xor mask, and the image.
