Hi Merlin, that is very fast for 1024 images, you will not get much more speed if you try doing anything smarter , though there are some image libraries that are faster than GD libs eg www.imagemagick.org

Hi there,

I need to manipulate images on the fly. My goal is to make the image
very bright, or to add a sepia effect. The problem is, that this takes a lot of computing power on 1024 pictures. About 2s on my server until the image is delivered.

Does anybody know a high performing image funtion that would allow me to brighten up the picture on the fly, or any other effect similar to it?

I am attaching the sepia function I am using.
Thank you for any help or suggestion on how to solve that.

Best regards,

Merlin


function image_effect_sepia($im){
        $start_red = 2;                         //red scale at black
    $start_blue = 2.3;                      //blue scale at black
$red_scale = ($start_red-1)/256; //red modifier as greyscale goes to white
    $blue_scale = ($start_blue - 1)/256;    //ditto for blue

        //build a sepia lookup table
    $sepia = array();
    for($x = 0;$x < 256;$x++){
        $red = intval($x * ($start_red - ($x * $red_scale)));
            if($red > 255) $red = 255;
        $blue = intval($x / ($start_blue - ($x * $blue_scale)));
            $sepia[$x][0] = $red;
        $sepia[$x][1] = $blue;
    }
        
        # modify the image
    for($y = 0;$y < imagesy($im);$y++){
        for($x = 0;$x < imagesx($im);$x++){
                $pixel = imagecolorat($im, $x, $y);

            imagesetpixel ($im, $x, $y, $p);
