Transparent Text On Image?


Is it possible to place transparent text on an image? I want to display an image of some text in a fancy typeface, but superimpose text in a plain style, so that it can be copied and pasted; a bit like what you see in some PDF files, where the page image is visiable, the overlying text is not.

Add Transparent Copyright Text To Image
I need a way to add a transparent copyright message (e.g. copyright 2002 together with my company logo) to my photos on the fly. My photos come in many different formats, such as PNG, GIF and JPEG.

PHP (GD) Created Transparent PNG: AlphaImageLoader Makes Black Parts Transparent Instead Of Transparent Color Set With PHP
I have a problem with PHP (GD) created transparent PNG and Microsofts
AlphaImageLoader.

You will immediately see what the problem is if you view
http://www.useful-scripts.biz/test/.../transpng_2.php with IE 7
or Firefox and then with IE 6. It seems that the AlphaImageLoader
works correctly on a PNG image that has been created with an image
processor and then uploaded, but not with a PNG image created with
PHP. It seems to ignore the transparent color set with PHP and instead
to render the black color transparent.

The image in question was created using this code:

<?php
$source = imagecreatefrompng("parrot_orig.png");
$transp = imagecolorallocate($source,255,0,0);
imagecolortransparent($source,$transp);
imagefilledrectangle($source,15,15,70,70,$transp);
imagepng($source,"parrot_php.png");
?>

The HTML used on the page is this:

Creating Image From Uploaded Image And Transparent PNG
Say the client wants to be able to change the image, but not the text treatment, and doesn't have the Photoshop knowledge to actually replace it and re-save it themself.

Is there anyway to use a PNG with the rounded edges, text treatment, and transparent center, have the client upload a standard rectangular-shaped image, and use PHP to layer the uploaded image underneath the transparent one, creating a new image file?

Transparent Image
Hi!

Here's a piece of code:

[begin]

<?php

Header('Content-type: image/png');

$sz = "";

$FileValue = 1000;

$i = strlen($FileValue);

for ( $j = 0; $j < 7-$i; $j++ )
{
$sz = $sz . "0";
}

$Img = imagecreate(56,13);

$Gold = imagecolorallocate($Img,148,128,100);

$Gray = imagecolorallocate($Img,32,32,32);

ImageFilledRectangle($Img,0,0,55,12,$Gray);

imagestring($Img,4,0,0,$sz.$FileValue,$Gold);

imagepng($Img);

ImageDestroy($Img);
?>

[end]

OK. Calling this script I have a png picture back.

Now I add imagecolortransparent($Img,$Gray); just before imagepng() and OK
again, I have a transparent picture back. But now, if I add:

$r = imagerotate($Img,90,0);

imagepng($r);

just after the imagecolortransparent() instruction seen above, I get a
rotated picture, but not transparent. How to solve that? I've used a plenty
of tricks, no one works.

Transparent Overlay Watermark - On The Fly?
Is it possible to overlay a transparent watermark on an image -
dynamically?

I'd like the result to look like this example:
<http://www.cycletourist.com/temp/photo.php>

That is a bit of overkill, but you can see what I mean. The watermark
image (a png image) is included separately below the photo.

I tried using a class from phpclasses.org
<http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/1580.html...
but the result looks horrible. The transparency does not work.

I found one other method through Google,
<http://www.sitepoint.com/article/watermark-images-php>
but it did not work, either.

Can this kind of transparent overlay be done on the fly with GD lib?

Define The Transparent Color
I've made a script that takes images (in gif,jpg & png) and makes their thumbs in jpg format. Now, the problem is if I have a transparent gif when saved to jpg the part of the original picture that is transparent turns black in the new thumb. My question is: how can I define that the transparent part gets the color i want it to get (white is what i need) ?

Actually, I now what in theory should be done. I should change the r,g,b values of the color that has aplha=127 (and that's not a problem with imagecolorset()), but also I should change the alpha of that color to 0. how can that be done ? My quess is that that is the right way to do it.

Create Or Resize Transparent .png - Drop Shadow - GD IM
I've searched and d/l'd but cant seem to find a way of creating
a semi-transparent drop shadow for an image.

Let me say, be fore I go on, I *do not* want one of those scripts that
resizes your image a bit to the left and bottom, and then grafts a
shadow onto it. I want to use a full shadow (it would be about as big
as the image) and shift it a bit with CSS. So, I will have the image
sitting in a DIV which will have the shadow as a bg. This works fine
doing it manually.

So, I would like to find one of two alternatives:

1. (best) Create the shadow from given parameters(size, darkness,
spread, etc.) I will write the .png to a folder, I dont really need to
create it dynamically each time, but want the ability for the future
(galleries) and for when I'm in development and images are changing,
moving around, etc.

2. (will work) Take a pre-existing shadow and resize it as needed, but
has to keep the transparency.
