I don't know what you mean about a background. However, two tools are commonly used to manipulate images in PHP. One is the GD library for which there are a large selection of functions. Use GD 2.x rather than 1.x. The other option is to use the Unix/Linux command line tools collectively known as ImageMagick. These can be run from PHP using the exec() and similar function calls.
