Re: Write on image in faint color

There's a command line, open-source utility called ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org/) available for all major platforms that allows you to do lots of powerful image manipulation on one file, or one thousand. You crop, scale, rotate, colour, draw on, place text over, compose, transform and create montages of images using this program. It has quite a steep learning curve, but the results are worth it! You can run this using PHP shell_exec() function if you want to execute the program from a web page, although be careful of the obvious security consideration involved in doing this.
