Im wondering if I'm doing something wrong, or if this is as good a result as im going to get. Both PNGs on the left are 95x111. The image of the robot has a 5px or so padding of transparent pixels around it, but it seems to be causing problems when they merge? $avatar = imagecreatefrompng("../guy.png"); $borderImg = imagecreatefrompng("../frame.png"); imagealphablending( $borderImg, false ); imagesavealpha( $borderImg, true ); imagecopyresampled($avatar,$borderImg, 0, 0, 0, 0, 95, 111,95, 111); imagepng($avatar, $newfilenameBig); Ive tried every combo of imagealphablending and imagesavealpha I

Alright, so whenever I upload this GIF to my board (NGINX+PHP-FPM) I get a slow down until an eventual 504 Gateway Time-out, alright, so I know what you're thinking, "go ahead and fix those nginx.conf and php-fpm settings", well I tweaked them to near perfection last night, my server is running brilliantly now. However, that one particular GIF still screws up, runs php-FPM to almost 100% (I have a great top of the line quad core processor in my server, my server is by no means primitive). So want to know where it gets weirder? I've uploaded 10MB GIF's with bigger dimensions than the one in

I'm trying to create a GD image resource from a BMP image, however I'm having no luck. The BMP image in question was created and saved with Photoshop. I've tried a couple of BMPs I found on the web too, and they gave the same results. getimagesize() tells me the BMP image has an image type of IMAGETYPE_BMP (6) and a MIME type of 'image/x-ms-bmp'. I've tried running the image through imagecreatefromwbmp() and imagecreatefromxbm(), but neither recognise it. I've also tried running it through imagecreatefromstring(), but that errored saying 'Data is not in a recognized format'. I'm running XAMPP

Edit 2: SUCCESS! many thanks to moycakes! The correct way to convert a PNG to a GIF while retaining transparency goes as follows: $input = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAXwAAAEYCAYAAABfgk2GAAAemklEQVR4Xu2dzYsm13WHe7rHxGATtw1Zu8UMY0wIkv6AoF44ZOEspFWyUytkkRASJG0sgS2NPkCKF5qxMSSboNbOu4xJcAxZaJRNlhqRVYaZpPUPSC2wiYmm38k5rS75delW1b1V9+Pcuk9BMR/vrXvPfc6p33veU7eqLu2wQQACEIBAEwQuNTFLJgkBCEAAAjsIPkEAAQhAoBECCH4jjmaaEIAABBB8YgACEIBAIwQQ/EYczTQhAAEIIPjEAAQgAIFGCCD4jTiaaUIAAhBA8IkBCEAAAo0QQPAbcTTThAAEIIDgEwMQgAAEGiGA4DfiaKYJAQhAAMGvJwYeE1OfkP3JC5P3L

I need to take a photo someone has uploaded through a form, resize, merge with a high-res frame @ 300dpi and keep it all @ 300dpi for the best quality for print. is it possible to handle high-res images through GD and if so, could you provide some information on how? I have code that already does the resizing and merging, but i'm not sure if its going to work at the correct dpi. Thanks It's basically possible: Just use the proper amount of pixels. (The dpi unit has no meaning in digital imaging, it serves only to convert a digital [pixel] image into a physical format). Example: 11 x 8 inch
