I need to resize the users' avatars to be 150x150 px after they upload. The thing is, my employer wants me to not use a PHP library, but a Zend one, and I couldn't find any. Is there a way to do this ?
There is no such method in zf2. But you can write filter that will wrap this behavior:
take Zend\Filter\File\Rename.php as an example and alter it to use your preferences.
I would probably use php-imagick commands like:
$imagick = new \Imagick($path);
$imagick->resizeImage(217, 0, $imagick::FILTER_LANCZOS, 1);
$imagick->writeImage($thumbPath);
$imagick->clear();

I have a site with about 1500 JPEG images, and I want to compress them all. Going through the directories is not a problem, but I cannot seem to find a function that compresses a JPEG that is already on the server (I don't want to upload a new one), and replaces the old one.
Does PHP have a built in function for this? If not, how do I read the JPEG from the folder into the script?
Thanks.
you're not telling if you're using GD, so i assume this.
$img = imagecreatefromjpeg("myimage.jpg"); // load the image-to-be-saved
// 50 is quality; change from 0 (worst quality,smaller file) - 100 (best quality)
imagejpeg($img,"myimage_new.jpg",50);
unlink("myimage.jpg"); // remove the old image
I prefer using the IMagick extension for working with images. GD uses too much memory, especially for larger files. Here's a code snippet by Charles Hall in the PHP manual:
$img = new Imagick();
$img->readImage($src);
$img->setImageCompression(Imagick::COMPRESSION_JPEG);
$img->setImageCompressionQuality(90);
$img->stripImage();
$img->writeImage($dest);
$img->clean();
You will need to use the php gd library for that... Most servers have it installed by default. There are a lot of examples out there if you search for 'resize image php gd'.
For instance have a look at this page http://911-need-code-help.blogspot.nl/2008/10/resize-images-using-phpgd-library.html
The solution provided by vlzvl works well. However, using this solution, you can also overwrite an image by changing the order of the code.
$image = imagecreatefromjpeg("image.jpg");
unlink("image.jpg");
imagejpeg($image,"image.jpg",50);
This allows you to compress a pre-existing image and store it in the same location with the same filename.
Let's suppose I want to create a face generator, where I would design several pictures for face form, ears, noses, mouth, hair. Given a combination of those pictures how can I create a new picture in PHP? For instance, a simplified version:
There is face1.png, face2.png, nose1.png and nose2.png. How could I programmatically merge face1.png with nose2.png, so the result picture would hold content from both picture?
You've basically got three options: GD, Cairo or ImageMagic. I'd recommend using the Imagick class if it's available. If not, ImageMagick through PHP system calls. If that's not available, GD will probably suffice.
It depends on your server configuration, which of these are available and which would require additional packages to be installed.
There's a very simple example in the Imagick documentation of combining images: https://secure.php.net/manual/en/imagick.compositeimage.php
I also found this example for GD:
Merge two PNG images with PHP GD library
There is a function named imagecopy. This function overrides a part of the destination image using a source image. The given part is specified as parameters. Before you tell me that this does not solve your problem, I have to add that the pixels in the destination picture will not be overriden by the pixels of the source picture if the pixels are transparent. You need to use imagealphablending and imagesavealpha on the source picture, like this:
public static function experimental($images, $width, $height, $dest = null) {
$index = 0;
if ($dest === null) {
$dest = $images[$index++];
}
while ($index < count($images)) {
imagealphablending($images[$index], true);
imagesavealpha($images[$index], true );
imagecopy($dest, $images[$index++], 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height);
}
return $dest;
}
If we have these two pictures:
The result will be this:
You really want make it with PHP?
Ok.
1) You can use GD library for image processing.
2) You can use imagemagic PHP wrapper -- imagic.
But I think you should use canvas on client side. And for saving result you can send base64 png image representation of canvas (or separated layers/pictures) to backend.
I want to have a system in my Joomla website where user can upload their image and create and design a product image by having the product template. For example the keychain needs to be design.
Can any one recommend is this possible with PhP? or I need some other platform to work on.
Thanks
This can be done with GD or Imagemagick libraries for PHP.
Here is a sample script I wrote a while back to composite an image to a blank coffee mug using PHP and imagemagick. This should be very similar to what you're trying to do.
<?php
$im = new Imagick('image.jpg');
$mug = new Imagick('images/mug.png');
$im->scaleImage(300, 0);
$im->setImageFormat('png');
$im->setImageVirtualPixelMethod(Imagick::VIRTUALPIXELMETHOD_TRANSPARENT);
$im->setImageMatte(true);
$height = $im->getImageHeight();
$mug->compositeImage($im, $im->getImageCompose(), 80, 130);
header("Content-Type: image/png");
echo $mug;
?>
If you want to provide a kind of graphic editor to users most likely you need a JavaScript implementation with PHP only handling the final result of it.
A common way to edit images with PHP is to use Imagick, but your case doesn't really sound like that. This is more applicable to, say, cases when you need to resize all the uploaded image or to save them in a different format.
not sure where but I came across as image hosting site that allows you to upload your image in a large format or to sharpen it.
I personally do not recall or know of any functions of GD library to sharpen image which might just be a different word for quality being up-ed.
If some one knows of a function to sharpen images please tell me since personally I am not aware of such functions neither in Image Magic and/or GD Library.
Thanks in advance
You can use imageconvolution in GD with a sharpen mask. From http://adamhopkinson.co.uk/blog/2010/08/26/sharpen-an-image-using-php-and-gd/:
PHP and GD can sharpen images by providing a matrix to imageconvolution:
// create the image resource from a file
$i = imagecreatefromjpeg('otter.jpg');
// define the sharpen matrix
$sharpen = array(
array(0.0, -1.0, 0.0),
array(-1.0, 5.0, -1.0),
array(0.0, -1.0, 0.0)
);
// calculate the sharpen divisor
$divisor = array_sum(array_map('array_sum', $sharpen));
// apply the matrix
imageconvolution($i, $sharpen, $divisor, 0);
// output the image
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($i);
You'd use imageconvolution() with a matrix that corresponds to a sharpen filter. Details in this comment on the PHP site: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php#56144
I haven't tried it, but this looks like what you're looking for, as far as ImageMagick goes.
In GD library of php having a file with path
lib/PHPImageWorkshop/Core/ImageWorkshopLayer.php
Please go to save public function and you can change the imageQuality upto 100.
make sure which type of image you want to create.
Hope this will help you.
Is it possible to take this image:
And apply this mask:
And turn it into this:
Using either GD or Imagick? I know it's possible to mask an image using shapes but I'm not sure how to go on about doing it with a pre-created alphatransparent image. :s
Using Imagick and ImageMagick version > 6 (I don't know if it will work on older versions):
// Set image path
$path = '/path/to/your/images/';
// Create new objects from png's
$dude = new Imagick($path . 'dude.png');
$mask = new Imagick($path . 'dudemask.png');
// IMPORTANT! Must activate the opacity channel
// See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagick-setimagematte.php
$dude->setImageMatte(1);
// Create composite of two images using DSTIN
// See: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/compose/#dstin
$dude->compositeImage($mask, Imagick::COMPOSITE_DSTIN, 0, 0);
// Write image to a file.
$dude->writeImage($path . 'newimage.png');
// And/or output image directly to browser
header("Content-Type: image/png");
echo $dude;
I think you are looking for imagealphablending. I use it for watermarks, and I believe it will do the effect you are looking for.
Great work with (ImageMagick) NOT GD .. I see the tags of this question is GD!!
Here is a GD version at this link:
PHP GD Use one image to mask another image, including transparency
