phMagick

[Anshul]

phMagick allows you to dynamically generate thumbnails create catching effects like drop shadows, draw text, watermark images, reflex effect to images all without opening photoshop just with Php and ImageMagick.



phMagick is wrapper for ImageMagick written in php 5, and it's designed with to ease the developer job by wraping ImageMagick complexity in easy to use functions.



The main reason for making phMagick is to avoid the inefficiency of GD and php memory limits

Examples

phMagick :: Thumbnail from Pdf or Video file

Please note that for videos you must have the correct codecs installed in your server and for pdf you need ghostscript
It's quite simple to use
$p = new phmagick('','destination.png');
$p->acquireFrame('filename.pdf');


phMagick :: Rounded Corners




$phMagick = &new phMagick('resize_porp_wh.png');
$phMagick->setDestination('rounded.png')
->roundCorners();// default is 15px

$phMagick = &new phMagick('resize_porp_wh.png');
$phMagick->setDestination('rounded1.png')
->roundCorners(35);

Original Image


Rounded 15px


rounded 35px



phMagick :: Polaroid Effect

We can add a polaroid effect to images.

We have two options a fake polaroid effect, which is mainly adding the withe borders an a real polaroid effect with text and shading witch make a very realistic effect
Fake Polaroid




$phMagick = &new phMagick('lipe1.jpg');
$phMagick->setDestination('fake_polaroid.png')
->fakePolaroid();

phMagick->convert()

Use this function to convert an image to another format



$p = new phmagick('source.jpg', 'destination.png');
$p->convert();



This example converts source.jpg to destination.png, optionaly setImageQuality() can be used to specify the quality of the new image

It's just an Imagick PHP extension alternative that I always used.
