I am using imagemagick/php to make a jpeg file from a PDF.
Input PDF file:
PDF-file
Output Jpeg file:
Jpeg-file
The textures on the output file look wrong near the bottom. This is the same result if I make a PNG also. I have tired different floor plans, other textures play up also in a similar way.
PHP code
$im = new Imagick();
$im->setResolution( 300, 300 );
$im->readImage( $input_path );
$im->setImageFileName($output_path);
$im->writeImage();
Server Config
PHP Version 5.3.5
ImageMagick 6.4.8
Thank you.
It looks like ImageMaigck handles opacity in embedded images in PDFs incorrectly. I am not familiar enough with ImageMagick to have a solution for you, but it is discussed here in their documentation -- perhaps there is an option you can change to improve things.

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.
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
does anyone know how to apply fade effect to an image using PHP ? what I am looking for is a way to apply gradient transparency ( i mean : at the top , the image is opaque , which gradually gets more and more transparent , and at the bottom it is completely transparent).
i have been reading up on http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagecolortransparent.php , but did not see anything about applying a gradient effect to an image.
i also read : PHP - Generate transparency (or opacity) gradient using image , but it kinda trailed off without any solution!
I am also open to any other suggestion / libraries that can do this from command line.
Obviously you'll need to work with a png for this effect, but you can convert any png into a jpg using php. The following question I believe covers what you are asking about. Part of the code will have to be removed to clear the image reflection effect.
Can You Get a Transparent Gradient using PHP ImageMagick?
The piece of code which seems to do what you are trying to accomplish is:
$im = new Imagick('image.jpg'); //Reference image location
if (!$im->getImageAlphaChannel()) {
$im->setImageAlphaChannel(Imagick::ALPHACHANNEL_SET);
}
$refl = $im->clone();
$refl->flipImage();
$gradient = new Imagick();
$gradient->newPseudoImage($refl->getImageWidth() + 10, $refl->getImageHeight() + 10, "gradient:transparent-black");
I have had a client request on a upload facility for his clients, but after upload that a image thumbnail to be created.
All normal images are ok but he his talking about .psd, .pdf, .eps, .ppt
Having a good look around I think wih imagemagick & ghostscript will cater for most of these but I cant find a solution of PPT or EPS.
Im hoping that imagemagick will be able to do eps as it can do a psd.
Any suggestion on EPS or PPT file format.
Thank you if you can advice.
I'm late to the party I know, however...
This is what I use for .PDF, .EPS and .AI thumbnailing. (Assuming all necessary ImageMagick distros installed)
$file = 'filename.pdf.eps.ai';
$cache = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/cache/';//ensure dir is writeable
$ext = "jpg";//just the extension
$dest = $cache.$file.'.'.$ext;
if (file_exists($dest)){
$img = new imagick();
$img->readImage($dest);
header( "Content-Type: image/jpg" );
echo $img;
exit;
} else {
$img = new imagick($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/'.$file.'[0]');
$img->setImageFormat($ext);
$width = $img->getImageheight();
//$img->cropImage($width, $width, 0, 0);
$img->scaleImage(105, 149, true);
$img->writeImage($dest);
header( "Content-Type: image/jpg" );
echo $img;
exit;
}
Don't know why it works, but it does - One code to rule them all right?
PPT is a powerpoint presentation. So creating an image that is a PPT would require some library that can pull this off.
Here are some resources to help you out.
Generate Powerpoint file on the fly
EPS is a vector format, so not unless you have your image as vector objects, you wont be able to do this correctly.
Just some thoughts - none of these things has been tested by myself.
EPS:
You should be able to convert your EPS to a PDF with ghostscript. Using imagemagick & ghostscript you can convert the PDF to some bitmap format (GIF, PNG or JPG).
PPT:
This seems to be somehow more complicated. If your are on a Windows machine you could resort to use the Powerpoint API from within a small hand-written converter. Another possibility would perhaps be to use Apache POI-HSLF whichs is a Java API to the Powerpoint file format. This would require a Java program for the conversion process. The last resort could be that study the Powerpoint binary file format and see if there is e.g. a thumbnail embedded (perhaps beeing used for the file icon in Windows Explorer) that could be extracted.
You could find some free icon sets and use a default icon for all .ppt file and another for all .eps. You can then further extend this for all file formats that cannot be converted to a image, such as audio files. Not the perfect solution but something a user may feel more comfortable with then just having text.
