note 18150 added to function.imagecolorallocate

This will help anyone trying to control font colors in a JPEG. You have to create a temporary image first, allocate the colors then merge the images before it works. Go figure. $im_size = GetImageSize ( "MySource.jpg" ); $imageWidth = $im_size[0]; $imageHeight = $im_size[1]; $im = imageCreate( $imagewidth, $imageheight ); // - or with GD 2+ - // $im = imageCreateTrueColor( $imagewidth, $imageheight ); // do all your color allocations here $font_color_black = ImageColorAllocate( $im, 0,0,0); $im2 = ImageCreateFromJPEG("MySource.jpg"); ImageCopy ($im,$im2,0,0,0,0, $imageWidth, $imageHeight); ImageDestroy ($im2); ...finish as you please using the $im var. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecolorallocate.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+18150 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+18150 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+18150
