CakePHP ImageTool Component

About

ImageTool is php class to perform various tasks with images. Every function accepts GD resource as input and can output it as well (just leave 'output' option empty).

Changes from 1.1.*

This library now consists purely from static functions as there was no need for class object. This makes it very easy to use in cake's models or anywhere else and isn't cakephp specific.

Installation

For use with cakephp:

• Copy ImageTool.php to your app's Vendor/ directory
• Include in your controller: App::import('Vendor', 'ImageTool');

For use as standalone library:

• Include in your project with include() or similar method

Error handling

Most image processing functions return either true or false (depending if action was successfull). Only exception is when you don't specify output (or set it to null/empty) - in such cases (if action was successfull) GD resource is returned.

Available functions

• autorotate - autorotate JPG images (by exif data)
• averageColor - get image's average color
• dominatingColor - get image's dominating color
• flip - flip image
• grayscale - desaturate image
• meshify - add mesh (grid of dots) over image
• pixelate - pixelate image
• resize - resize image
• rotate - rotate image (only degrees divisible by 90)
• unsharpMask - sharpen image
• watermark - add watermark

Examples

Make thumbnail 100x100px in size

$status = ImageTool::resize(array(
	'input' => $input_file,
	'output' => $output_file,
	'width' => 100,
	'height' => 100
));

Resize image (while keeping ratio) with max width and height both set to 600px. After that place watermark image in bottom-right corner and sharpen end result (with default settings)

$status = ImageTool::resize(array(
	'input' => $input_file,
	'output' => $output_file,
	'width' => 600,
	'height' => 600,
	'keepRatio' => true,
	'paddings' => false,
	'afterCallbacks' => array(
		array('watermark', array('watermark' => $watermark_file, 'position' => 'bottom-right')),
		array('unsharpMask'),
	)
));

Autorotate image (getting back GD resource and then passing it to the next function (greyscale) - similar to previous example but without using afterCallbacks option)

$image = ImageTool::autorotate(array(
	'input' => $input_file,
	'output' => null
));

if ($image) {
	$status = ImageTool::grayscale(array(
		'input' => $image,
		'output' => $output_file
	));
} else {
	$status = false;
}
