cropping problems

[jammyjames]

Hi,

I found this forum in a frantic rush to try and finally solve the problem I have.

I am trying to crop an image using Imagemagick: http://pastebin.com/1ZKgHWLk

The code I have written to do this: http://pastebin.com/Cr7qDj3J does everything & crops the image BUT it outputs a black image.

I have tried everything to try and resolve. Im sure it's something simple BUT I can't figure out what it is.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Perhaps you need to remove the virtual canvas after cropping. See http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.i ... gepage.php

If I read it correctly, you aren't loading the image into memory. load_image only pings the image. You should use _load_image

Thanks guys for replying.

Pete, I thought the same and tried _load_image but when I do use this it throws an error: Resource Id: ... does not exist

Any ideas? The absolute file path it references does seem to be correct.

Thanks for your help.

Start simple, get it working and then add all the posts etc.

Code: Select all

<?php

$im = new imagick( "input.jpg" );
 
$im->cropImage( 100, 100, 50, 50 );
 
$im->writeImage( "thumbnail.jpg" );
?> 
	
<img src="th_80x80_test.png">

Thanks

I don't know what I decided to use a custom class.

The code you offered is fine. A problem out the way.
Thanks again.
