#39273 [Bgs]: imagecopyresized() not compatable with alpha channel
ID: 39273 User updated by: seth at pricepages dot org Reported By: seth at pricepages dot org Status: Bogus Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Mac 10.4 PHP Version: 5.1.6 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: I'm American; if I'm exposed to more than one language my head explodes. ;) Yep, that image is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for not just ignoring me after marking the bug bogus, I've had that happen also... Previous Comments: [2006-10-28 15:14:41] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry for my bad wording (images "speak" better), but we are getting somewhere, finally. We were talking of two different problems. I was talking about a common misunderstanding and you about a more specific problem. Thanks to have insisted and nice catch :) Check this image: http://blog.thepimp.net/misc/39273_out.png Is it what you expect? [2006-10-28 14:43:21] seth at pricepages dot org translucide (French) = translucent (English) Sorry, that confused me for a bit. "Boolean transparency" means that the pixel is either fully transparent, or fully opaque. Never partially transparent. The area outside of the line is fine, it should be transparent and it is in your image. This is correct. What is suffering from "boolean transparency" are the edges of the line. For example: In your example script, one alpha value was 63, and the other was 127. In your output PNG, those values have been changed to 0 and 127. I should mention that if you are using Microsoft's Internet Explorer version 6 or less, a PNG image will display with boolean transparency due to a bug in the browser. So you won't be able to see the difference. Use FireFox. [2006-10-28 14:19:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pardon? What is a boolean transparency? Please understand these three things: - The transparent color is one *color*, an index for palette based image or 32bits value for truecolor images. It defines which color is used as the *background* color (like white is the background color of a white paper). - The *alpha* channel of a pixel defines how translucide the pixel has to be. It has nothing to do with the transparent color. - Your image has *no* transparent color but many pixels with various *alpha* levels. Load the result images in your favourite paint programs to see what I mean. The area outside the line is translucide, it is due to the alpha channel. [2006-10-28 14:11:56] seth at pricepages dot org But that has one of the bugs that I pointed out: boolean transparency. The original doesn't have that problem.

Well, I went in and fixed it myself. The problem was in the function gdImageGetTrueColorPixel(). It assumed that palette images always have binary transparency, with a correct value in im->transparent. Because my source image didn't have a correct value in im->transparent, it was always marked as opaque. This line: return gdTrueColorAlpha(im->red[p], im->green[p], im->blue [p], (im->transparent == p) ? gdAlphaTransparent : gdAlphaOpaque); Needs to be changed to: return gdTrueColorAlpha(im->red[p], im->green[p], im->blue [p], (im->transparent == p) ? gdAlphaTransparent : im->alpha [p]); Making this patch also fixes the same bug in imagecopyresampled(), and who knows what else. Although, I would recommend using gdTrueColorAlpha() at the appropriate point(s) in gdImageCopyResized() instead of gdImageGetTrueColorPixel(). This would eliminate an extra function call, branch, and color lookup. The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
