I have an image being rejected by the eBay API because of this:
<ShortMessage>Source picture uses an unsupported colorspace.</ShortMessage>
<LongMessage>Pictures with a CMYK colorspace are not supported; source pictures must use a RGB colorspace compatible with all web browsers supported by eBay. Submit pictures created using a camera or scanner set to save images with RGB color.</LongMessage>
Well, I had no idea it was a CMYK nor am I even sure how to tell. I then used the following code to attempt a convert:
$image= "$img.jpg";
$i = new Imagick($image);
$i->setImageColorspace(Imagick::COLORSPACE_SRGB);
$i->writeImage($image);
$i->destroy();
It converts (and is now accepted by eBay), but it also inverts the colors of the picture. Why would it do this and is there another COLORSPACE I should be using?
Thanks.
The setImageColorSpace method is not meant to be used for existing images - it's only for new images (e.g. $imagick->newPseudoImage(100, 100, "xc:gray");)
The transformImageColorSpace method is the right one to use for changing an existing images colorspace.
$image= "$img.jpg";
$i = new Imagick($image);
$i->transformImageColorspace(Imagick::COLORSPACE_SRGB);
$i->writeImage($image);
$i->destroy();

How can i merge 2 png images, or a JPEG over a png? I have this image:
The result would have to be like this:
Is there a lightweight library that can do this, or is it possible with php functions? I just want to keep the overlay image withing the background (margin of 10px) - i like to integrate it into my api.. so i can create them on the fly - or store them for later, but being able to create/batch create them online.
Try using the Intervention Image PHP library, more specifically the insert function.
From the documentation:
Paste a given image source over the current image with an optional position and a offset coordinate. This method can be used to apply another image as watermark because the transparency values are maintained.
And an example:
// create new Intervention Image
$bg = Image::make('public/background.jpg');
// create a new Image instance for inserting
$logo = Image::make('public/logo_discovery.png');
// Insert the logo onto the background
$bg->insert($logo, 'center');
I need to generate jpg images from PDF files (first page only). The PDF files are user generated, so they can contain anything. I'm currently using the following code:
// Load PDF.
$i = new Imagick;
// Create thumbnail of first page of PDF.
$i->setResolution(150, 150);
$i->loadImage("test.pdf[0]");
$i->thumbnailImage(640, 480, true);
// Remove transparency, fill transparent areas with white rather than black.
$i->setImageBackgroundColor("white");
$i->setImageAlphaChannel(11); // Imagick::ALPHACHANNEL_REMOVE
$i->mergeImageLayers(Imagick::LAYERMETHOD_FLATTEN);
// Output.
$i->writeImage("test.jpg");
This works as expected in that transparency becomes white instead of black. However, I've run into problems with some generated jpg images, so I ran jpeginfo on them:
$ jpeginfo -c test.jpg
test.jpg 960 x 480 32bit JFIF N 9481 Unsupported color conversion request [ERROR]
It turns out that some source PDFs actually use CMYK, and apparently are not converted to RGB when saved as jpg. So I changed my code to the following (addition of a single line) to explicitly convert to RGB:
// Load PDF.
$i = new Imagick;
// Create thumbnail of first page of PDF.
$i->setResolution(150, 150);
$i->loadImage("test.pdf[0]");
$i->thumbnailImage(640, 480, true);
// Remove transparency, fill transparent areas with white rather than black.
$i->setImageBackgroundColor("white");
$i->setImageAlphaChannel(11); // Imagick::ALPHACHANNEL_REMOVE
$i->mergeImageLayers(Imagick::LAYERMETHOD_FLATTEN);
// Convert to RGB to prevent creating a jpg with CMYK colors.
$i->setImageColorspace(Imagick::COLORSPACE_RGB);
// Output.
$i->writeImage("test.jpg");
This creates a jpeg with an RGB color profile, all right. However, for some obscure reason it results in an image with a black background again. In other words: the transparency problem is back. Why does Imagick do this, and more importantly, what's the solution to both the transparency problem and the CMYK problem?
The correct function to use is transformImageColorspace not setImageColorspace. transformImageColorspace is used for existing images, setImageColorspace is for new images e.g. svg drawing..
I've added it to the manual and it should show up soon.
I am using Imagick to product images from massive pdf files. I also want those images with RGB or sRGB color mode so Internet Explorer can display the images correctly.
I have tried
$im = new imagick($fileName.'[0]');
//$im->setImageColorspace(Imagick::COLORSPACE_SRGB); //try this already
// $im->setImageColorSpace(1); //try this already
$im->setResolution(300,300);
$im->setImageFormat('jpeg');
$im->writeImage($imageFile);
$im->clear();
$im->destroy();
I did get images but the color is way off with setImageColorspace and setImageColorSpace methods. (ex: color is inverted.)
If I comment out those methods, the images look right but some of them are not RGB mode and create problems in Internet Explorer.
I really need the RGB color mode on the images. Are there anyways to do it? Thanks so much!
You seem to encounter a problem with CMYK pdfs. Have you tried converting them to PNG? PNG -contrary to jpeg - only encodes RGB so the images will in any case be in the correct colorspace.
You might also want to have a look at ghostscript (the engine behind imagemagicks PDF conversion) and it's --UseCIE switch.
I wrote a php-wrapper to ghostscript which you can find at github that you might find usefull when you want to use ghostscript.
I was doing some image editing with PHP, since GD provides less functionalities, I switched to Imagick.
One of the processes is to greyscale images. Everything went fine (locally on Windows 7, Imagick 2.2.1-dev 6.5.8-7 Q16) till I uploaded the script to my web hosting server (Linux, Imagick 3.0.1, 6.2.8, 2010-10-20, Q16).
I'v tried to change the quality, but it didn't improve anything.
$img->setImageCompression(imagick::COMPRESSION_JPEG);
$img->setImageCompressionQuality(100);
Here is the results from GD, Imagick and Photoshop
I believe something's wrong with version 3.0.1. Can someone please confirm that?
Q1: Is there an alternative way to convert an image to greyscale with Imagick?
Q2: Is it possible to convert a GD resource to Imagick? So I can use imagefilter($img, IMG_FILTER_GRAYSCALE); to get the correct result and then output with Imagick.
ps: For Q2, you might suggest me to just use GD to process the image. But the problem is that imagejpeg() cannot save images with resolution preserved. and that is actually the reason I switched to Imagick.
This is my preferred way to make a B&W photo in php/imagick: $im = $im->fxImage('intensity');
That applies a function to the image, where intensity is equal to 0.299*red+0.587*green+0.114*blue.
That formula is based on how our eyes are more sensitive to different colours, and as such the difference between that and a "flat" grayscale image really is night and day.
More details here:
http://php.net/manual/en/imagick.fximage.php
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/fx.php
function ImagickToGD($imagick){
$tmpfile = tmpfile();
$imagick->writeImage($tmpfile);
return imagecreatefromstring(file_get_contents($tmpfile));
}
Note that this function does not do any cleanup (except the temp file, which PHP cleans automatically).
So, for example, your code should look like:
$img = new Imagick();
// ...
$gd = ImagickToGD($img);
unset($img); // destroy imagick
imagefilter($gd, IMG_FILTER_GRAYSCALE);
imagejpeg($gd, $target_name, 100);
imagedestroy($gd);
Also, I did not understand the part about "preserving resolution". There is nothing in these operations relating to resolution. My guess is you meant compression? If you want full quality (ie, no compression) simply use 100 as compression value (as I did).
This results in maintaining the existing quality, since opening an image of 70% quality and saving it back with 70% quality actually decreases the final quality by 49% (70% of 70%).
function GDToImagickTo($gd){
$tmpfile = tmpfile();
imagepng($tmpfile); // Png is our best image deal:
// lossless compression, transparency etc..
$imagick = new Imagick()
$imagick->readImage($tmpfile);
return $imagick;
}
Refer this website and check out the image Magick operators found here www.rubblewebs.co.uk/imagemagick/
Also go with www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/ you will find some examples out here...
You can use the image class what you prefer and then use the method readImageBlob to send it to the imagick http://www.php.net/manual/en/imagick.readimageblob.php
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:
