#28341 [Bgs]: ImagePNG transparency broken on truecolor images

ID: 28341 User updated by: info at silisoftware dot com Reported By: info at silisoftware dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Windows XP Pro PHP Version: 4.3.6 New Comment: Interesting. After a little more testing on available Windows software: Both images have transparency in: ImageMagick IMDisplay 1.0, Mozilla 1.6, Opera 7.23 "good" works, "bad" doesn't in: IE 6, Adobe Photoshop 7, Adobe ImageReady 7, Paint Shop Pro 7 I'm not surprised that IE is broken, but I am surprised that the graphics programs are all broken like that. I'm not sure who to pin the blame on - encoding or decoding (I'm sure you'll leave this as bogus and blame the decoders though ;) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-10 03:46:38] magnus@php.net There's nothing wrong with either of them. Both works fine here with Mozilla Firefox, gqview, gimp-2.0-pre and Konqueror all compiled against libpng 1.2.5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-10 02:33:52] info at silisoftware dot com I'm not talking browser issues (as I said at the top of my bug report). Please download the said images (or generate them yourself) and open them with an image editor such as Photoshop and tell me whether or not both images open with transparent backgrounds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-10 02:25:36] magnus@php.net Works fine here. If you're using IE, change to a browser with a working png implementation such as Mozilla Firefox. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-10 01:46:20] info at silisoftware dot com Correction on the URLs: Expected Result: http://www.silisoftware.com/temp/imagepng-transparency/good.png Actual Result: http://www.silisoftware.com/temp/imagepng-transparency/bad.png ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-10 01:44:06] info at silisoftware dot com Description: ------------ ImagePNG does not output transparent PNG images when in true-color mode, but does when in paletted mode. Before this gets thrown in the bogus pile as a browser issue - it's not - please download both these files and open them in Photoshop and see whether or not the transparency is recognized. This issues was previously addressed (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22323) but appears to be re-broken and still not fixed in the latest version (4.3.6) Reproduce code: --------------- $Image = ImageCreateTrueColor(80,40); $back = ImageColorAllocate($Image,255,255, 0); $red = ImageColorAllocate($Image,255, 0, 0); $green = ImageColorAllocate($Image, 0,255, 0); $black = ImageColorAllocate($Image, 0, 0, 0); ImageColorTransparent($Image, $back); ImageFilledRectangle($Image,0,0,80,40,$back); ImageArc($Image,20,20,32,32,120,0, $red); ImageString($Image,5,20,20, 'hello', $black); //ImageTrueColorToPalette($Image, true, 256); ImagePNG($Image, 'c:/bad.png'); Expected result: ---------------- I expect this: http://www.silisoftware.com/temp/imagepng-transparency/good.png A red arc, black text on a transparent background. And I do get this if I use the commented-out line above to convert the true color image to a paletted image. Actual result: -------------- I get this: http://www.silisoftware.com/temp/imagepng-transparency/good.png A red arc, black text on a yellow (non-transparent) background. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28341&edit=1
