Hi Allessandro,
The overlay being unrasterized is scaled to the dimensions of the
first graphic and then rasterized. That explains what you see.
I find the behaviour of ImageCompose a bit unexpected. From the
documentation ("ImageCompose[image,obj] overlays obj pixel-by-pixel
onto image, without changing the size of obj. ") I understand that if
the overlay is rasterized its size isn't changed, but it seems it is.
The positioning commands don't seem to work as expected as well:
{Lx, Ly} = {100, 100};
i1 = Rasterize[
Graphics[{Yellow, Rectangle[{0, 0}, {1, 1}]}, ImagePadding -> None,
PlotRangePadding -> None], RasterSize -> {Lx, Ly},
ImageSize -> Round[{Lx, Ly}]]
i2 = Rasterize[
Graphics[Rectangle[{0, 0}, {1, 0.5}], ImagePadding -> None,
PlotRangePadding -> None], RasterSize -> Round[1/2 Lx],
ImageSize -> Round[1/2 Lx]]
i1 // ImageDimensions
i2 // ImageDimensions
ImageCompose[i1, i2, {Left, Bottom}, {Left, Bottom}]
