@Rich, Thank you for the insights, suggestions and help.
Though I putzed around with gimp a bit more.... I found when I changed over to ImageMagick that I could get out exactly what I wanted.
Didn't need, nor try'ed the 'flatten'. I found and used the source JPG, resized it, added the text annotation(s) desired, automated the process. Done!
Thank you. I'm good at this point now.
