I know that this is not a cakePHP specific question but I though someone on here might have some experience with watermarking an image with php/gd. I am attempting to overway a 24-bit PNG with transparency over a set of images. The problem is that when I do this, the transparency is discarded and I am left with a black box similar to below:
http://www.theskateparkdirectory.com/img/imagecache/610458144f4809d2b1064b2c45ab.jpg I've had success with this when using a 8-bit PNG but the edges of the text are jagged and I would really like to be able to use a 24-bit PNG. I have pasted my code below. Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide me with. $targ_w = 600; $targ_h = 450; $jpeg_quality = 100; $src = APP . WEBROOT_DIR . "/img/skateparks/_originals/" . $this->data ['Photo']['location'] . ".jpg"; $img_r = imagecreatefromjpeg($src); $dst_r = ImageCreateTrueColor( $targ_w, $targ_h ); $watermark = imagecreatefrompng(APP . WEBROOT_DIR . "/img/ watermark.png"); imageAlphaBlending($watermark, false); imageSaveAlpha($watermark, true); imagecopyresampled($dst_r,$img_r,0,0,$_POST['x'],$_POST['y'],$targ_w, $targ_h,$_POST['w'],$_POST['h']); imagecopymerge($dst_r, $watermark, 460, 375, 0, 0, 150, 67, 100); imagejpeg($dst_r,APP . WEBROOT_DIR . "/img/skateparks/" . $this->data ['Photo']['location'] . ".jpg", 100) ; --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
