I have a small Minecraft server where people can upload their skins. Minecraft skins are small png images. Is it possible to convert this png image to another png image via PHP (e.g. GD library)?
I have made this image to help me explain what I am trying to do:
Yes, it's possible. You'd need multiple imagecopy commands to pull out sections of the skin image and paste it into the proper spots in the "output" image.
Basic order of operations would be:
$input = imagecreatefrompng('skin.png');
$output = imagecreatetruecolor(800, 600); // whatever the dimensions should be.
imagecopy($output, $input, 0,0, 10,20, 50,60);
imagecopy(...);
...
...
The first copy command is saying "take a 50x60 section of the input image, starting at coordinates 10x20, and paste it into the destination image in the top left corner".
The actual sequence/coordinates/sizes will be up to you to figure out.
If you're not doing a 1:1 copy of the image and are doing resizing, then you'll want imagecopyresampled() instead.
Here is the PHP manual for creating images from png :

Here is a simple tutorial :

You can do this with CSS

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');
Please help to combine three jpg images using php image processing functions imagecopy, imagecopymerge
image 1- b.jpg
image 2- l.jpg
image3: r.jpg
output look like
I tried some example codes of the PHP functions imagecopy() or imagecopymerge()
but not working with my images.
Could you give more information about: "not working"
I would suggest you to take a look at: imagecopyresampled
For the code, you have to load the images as image ressources, so you can use something like:
$im1 = imagecreatefrompng($path.'image1.png');
$im2 = imagecreatefrompng($path.'image2.png');
imagecopyresampled($im1,$im2,250,150,0,0,100,150,100,150);
unset($im2);
$im3 = imagecreatefrompng($path.'image3.png');
imagecopyresampled($im1,$im3,550,150,0,0,100,150,100,150);
unset($im3);
So $im1 now have the 3 images.
Just make sure to unset the image ressources, because you will run out of memory really fast.
Edit: I used imagecopyresampled because image 2-3 seem smaller on the last image, I don't know how more resource intensive it is, I guess imagecopymerge could work too.
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 am making an avatar script from scratch and am having some problems. I got transparency working, and multi-image support for heads, bodies, shirts, etc.
Anyhow, I want to be able to generate specific sizes of the avatar within the PHP script. At this time, I have the variable $baseImage, which is an image generated using the GD script below:
$baseImage = imagecreatefrompng($startAsset);
imagealphablending($baseImage, true);
imagesavealpha($baseImage, true);
... combine all images into $base here
header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($baseImage);
The size of the image this generates is 350x550 (pixels) and I want to be able to get a smaller size.
I've done research but cannot find a working solution. What built-in PHP GD functions can resize this, retain transparency, and keep the great quality/colors?
There is no way to change the size of an image resource directly. Instead, you need to create a new image of the desired size and use imagecopyresampled to copy from the fullsize image to the resized one.
I have a php script that will receive a bunch of images uploaded.
What I need to do is create a small thumbnail of each, on the fly using imagemagick.
I can do that easy enough but I also need to crop it so that the thumbnail is always 100x100.
the images supplied won't be the same proportions so simply downsizing won't work.
Can I downsize, crop to 100x100 and save to jpeg all in one step?
I believe this should do what you want:
convert 'just_uploaded/*' -resize 100x100^ -gravity center -extent 100x100 -set filename:f '%t' +adjoin 'just_uploaded_thumbs/%[filename:f].jpg'
resize will downsize, extent (in combination with gravity) will crop, and the rest takes care of saving with a modified name, in JPEG format, in a different directory.
Short answer: no. That'll be 3 steps, no less.
Longer answer: you can do it using the command line interface. In PHP, the only way is to write a function that will do what you ask. Then, for each image, you can just call your function. I'm not sure how this is more beneficial than just using the 3 Imagick functions separately...
I like the sfThumbnailPlugin. It wraps around both ImageMagick or GD
http://www.symfony-project.org/plugins/sfThumbnailPlugin
Example:
public function executeUpload()
{
// Retrieve the name of the uploaded file
$fileName = $this->getRequest()->getFileName('file');
// Create the thumbnail
$thumbnail = new sfThumbnail(150, 150);
$thumbnail->loadFile($this->getRequest()->getFilePath('file'));
$thumbnail->save(sfConfig::get('sf_upload_dir').'/thumbnail/'.$fileName, 'image/png');
// Move the uploaded file to the 'uploads' directory
$this->getRequest()->moveFile('file', sfConfig::get('sf_upload_dir').'/'.$fileName);
// Do whatever is next
$this->redirect('media/show?filename='.$fileName);
}
