How to only add text into a dynamic image
I currently have this image: http://res.cloudinary.com/saint-gobain/image/upload/t_bp-banner-300x600/w_95,c_fit,l_text:bp_banner_300x600_text:Example%20text,g_south_west,x_21,y_35/sample.jpg, but I would like to have it something like this:
http://res.cloudinary.com/saint-gobain/image/upload/t_bp-banner-300x600/l_text:bp_banner_300x600_text:Example%20text/sample.jpg
So that w_95, c_fit, g_south_west, x_21 and y_35 are all already included in transformation t_bp-banner-300x600 or bp_banner_300x600_text, or perhaps bp_banner_300x600_text could be removed too, because it is already in bp_banner_300x600
How is this possible?

Hi Sven,
I'm sorry for my response delay.
This can indeed be done by setting a chained transformation in a named transformation. So you can update the "bp-banner-300x600" transformation to include all of these transformations, and then you'll end up having a URL like:
http://res.cloudinary.com/saint-gobain/image/upload/t_bp-banner-300x600/sample.jpg
If you need any further assistance, please always feel free to open a support ticket, and we'll be happy to assist.
Thanks,

I only want the text to be dynamic. The text-style should be fixed. So http://res.cloudinary.com/saint-gobain/image/upload/t_bp-banner-300x600/sample.jpg won't work, because the text itself isn't dynamic anymore but fixed into the transformation.

Thank you for the additional information.
In that case, you'd indeed need to include the text related transformations outside of the named transformations, as the first URL you shared in your initial question.

Too bad, but thanks for your reply.

UPDATE
We now support passing a dynamic text overlay to named transformations as well.
Define the variable: `$name_!some%20value!` and then use it in your named transformation as: `$(name)`.
For example, here's a transformation example:
http://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/$name_!My%20name!/c_scale,w_400/c_scale,fl_relative,g_south,h_0.12,l_black_bar,o_60,w_1.0/co_rgb:eee,g_south_west,l_text:Arial_20:Photographer:%20$(name),x_10,y_5/sample.jpg
We have most of the transformation defined under the `photo` named transformation, and we can dynamically update the `name` of the photographer with something like the following:
http://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/$name_!My%20name!/t_photo/sample.jpg0 -
Is it possible use this dynamic feature for overlay images as well?

Yes, you can add overlays dynamically. For more information:https://cloudinary.com/cookbook/relative_size_overlays
