note 58947 added to function.imagecreatetruecolor

Hello, I am trying to render text overtop of an existing jpg image. I have found that the only way to get the text to be anti-alised is to use "imagecreate". When I have tried it with "imagecreatefromjpeg" or "imagetruecolor" the text is not anti-alised. The only problem is when i use "imagecreate" allthough the text looks great, it seems to lower the color depth of the image? Or it seems to set transparency... Either way the image now looks like garbage... Is there a way to use either "imagecreatefromjpeg" or "imagetruecolor" yet still keep the text antialised? Or can I use "imagecreate" and then merge a jpg overtop of it yet still keep the image color depth set to full?] If anyone has any ideas let me know. Thanks, Andrew $myimage = imagecreate(848,138); imagettftext($myimage, 0, 0, 0, 0, $color, "ARIAL", "some text here"); imagejpeg($myimage, "my_image.jpg", 100); ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatetruecolor.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58947 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58947&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58947&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58947&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58947&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58947&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58947&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58947&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58947&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
