imagefilter

(PHP 5, PHP 7)

imagefilter — Applies a filter to an image

Descrierea

imagefilter ( resource $image , int $filtertype , int $arg1 = ? , int $arg2 = ? , int $arg3 = ? , int $arg4 = ? ) : bool

imagefilter() applies the given filter filtertype on the image.

Parametri

image

O resursă - imagine, întoarsă de una din funcțiile de creare a imaginilor, cum ar fi imagecreatetruecolor().

filtertype

filtertype can be one of the following:

IMG_FILTER_NEGATE: Reverses all colors of the image.
IMG_FILTER_GRAYSCALE: Converts the image into grayscale by changing the red, green and blue components to their weighted sum using the same coefficients as the REC.601 luma (Y') calculation. The alpha components are retained. For palette images the result may differ due to palette limitations.
IMG_FILTER_BRIGHTNESS: Changes the brightness of the image. Use arg1 to set the level of brightness. The range for the brightness is -255 to 255.
IMG_FILTER_CONTRAST: Changes the contrast of the image. Use arg1 to set the level of contrast.
IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE: Like IMG_FILTER_GRAYSCALE, except you can specify the color. Use arg1, arg2 and arg3 in the form of red, green, blue and arg4 for the alpha channel. The range for each color is 0 to 255.
IMG_FILTER_EDGEDETECT: Uses edge detection to highlight the edges in the image.
IMG_FILTER_EMBOSS: Embosses the image.
IMG_FILTER_GAUSSIAN_BLUR: Blurs the image using the Gaussian method.
IMG_FILTER_SELECTIVE_BLUR: Blurs the image.
IMG_FILTER_MEAN_REMOVAL: Uses mean removal to achieve a "sketchy" effect.
IMG_FILTER_SMOOTH: Makes the image smoother. Use arg1 to set the level of smoothness.
IMG_FILTER_PIXELATE: Applies pixelation effect to the image, use arg1 to set the block size and arg2 to set the pixelation effect mode.
IMG_FILTER_SCATTER: Applies scatter effect to the image, use arg1 and arg2 to define the effect strength and additionally arg3 to only apply the on select pixel colors.

arg1

IMG_FILTER_BRIGHTNESS: Brightness level.
IMG_FILTER_CONTRAST: Contrast level.
IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE: Valoarea componentei roșii.
IMG_FILTER_SMOOTH: Smoothness level.
IMG_FILTER_PIXELATE: Block size in pixels.
IMG_FILTER_SCATTER: Effect substraction level. This must not be higher or equal to the addition level set with arg2.

arg2

IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE: Valoarea componentei verzi.
IMG_FILTER_PIXELATE: Whether to use advanced pixelation effect or not (defaults to false).
IMG_FILTER_SCATTER: Effect addition level.

arg3

IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE: Valoarea componentei albastre.
IMG_FILTER_SCATTER: Optional array indexed color values to apply effect at.

arg4

IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE: Alpha channel, A value between 0 and 127. 0 indicates completely opaque while 127 indicates completely transparent.

Valorile întoarse

Întoarce valoarea true în cazul succesului sau false în cazul eșecului.

The documentation misses the exact meaning and valid ranges of the arguments for ImageFilter(). According to the 5.2.0 sources the arguments are:
IMG_FILTER_BRIGHTNESS
-255 = min brightness, 0 = no change, +255 = max brightness

IMG_FILTER_CONTRAST
-100 = max contrast, 0 = no change, +100 = min contrast (note the direction!)

IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE
Adds (subtracts) specified RGB values to each pixel. The valid range for each color is -255...+255, not 0...255. The correct order is red, green, blue.
-255 = min, 0 = no change, +255 = max
This has not much to do with IMG_FILTER_GRAYSCALE.

IMG_FILTER_SMOOTH
Applies a 9-cell convolution matrix where center pixel has the weight arg1 and others weight of 1.0. The result is normalized by dividing the sum with arg1 + 8.0 (sum of the matrix).
any float is accepted, large value (in practice: 2048 or more) = no change

ImageFilter seem to return false if the argument(s) are out of range for the chosen filter.

I needed an especially strong blur effect today and had a hard time achieving adequate results with the built-in IMG_FILTER_GAUSSIAN_BLUR filter. In order to achieve the strength of the blur I required I had to repeat the filter up to  100 times, which took way too long to be acceptable.

After a bit of searching, I found this answer to be quite a good solution to this problem: http://stackoverflow.com/a/20264482

Based on that technique, I wrote the following generic function to achieve a very strong blur in a reasonable amount of processing:

<?php 

/**
 * Strong Blur
 *
 * @param resource $gdImageResource 
 * @param int $blurFactor optional 
 *  This is the strength of the blur
 *  0 = no blur, 3 = default, anything over 5 is extremely blurred
 * @return GD image resource
 * @author Martijn Frazer, idea based on http://stackoverflow.com/a/20264482
 */
function blur($gdImageResource, $blurFactor = 3)
{
  // blurFactor has to be an integer
  $blurFactor = round($blurFactor);
  
  $originalWidth = imagesx($gdImageResource);
  $originalHeight = imagesy($gdImageResource);

  $smallestWidth = ceil($originalWidth * pow(0.5, $blurFactor));
  $smallestHeight = ceil($originalHeight * pow(0.5, $blurFactor));

  // for the first run, the previous image is the original input
  $prevImage = $gdImageResource;
  $prevWidth = $originalWidth;
  $prevHeight = $originalHeight;

  // scale way down and gradually scale back up, blurring all the way
  for($i = 0; $i < $blurFactor; $i += 1)
  {    
    // determine dimensions of next image
    $nextWidth = $smallestWidth * pow(2, $i);
    $nextHeight = $smallestHeight * pow(2, $i);

    // resize previous image to next size
    $nextImage = imagecreatetruecolor($nextWidth, $nextHeight);
    imagecopyresized($nextImage, $prevImage, 0, 0, 0, 0, 
      $nextWidth, $nextHeight, $prevWidth, $prevHeight);

    // apply blur filter
    imagefilter($nextImage, IMG_FILTER_GAUSSIAN_BLUR);

    // now the new image becomes the previous image for the next step
    $prevImage = $nextImage;
    $prevWidth = $nextWidth;
      $prevHeight = $nextHeight;
  }

  // scale back to original size and blur one more time
  imagecopyresized($gdImageResource, $nextImage, 
    0, 0, 0, 0, $originalWidth, $originalHeight, $nextWidth, $nextHeight);
  imagefilter($gdImageResource, IMG_FILTER_GAUSSIAN_BLUR);

  // clean up
  imagedestroy($prevImage);

  // return result
  return $gdImageResource;
}

Here is an alternative to IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE filter, but taking the alpha parameter of each pixel in account.



<?php

function rgba_colorize($img, $color)

{

    imagesavealpha($img, true);

    imagealphablending($img, true);



    $img_x = imagesx($img);

    $img_y = imagesy($img);

    for ($x = 0; $x < $img_x; ++$x)

    {

        for ($y = 0; $y < $img_y; ++$y)

        {

            $rgba = imagecolorsforindex($img, imagecolorat($img, $x, $y));

            $color_alpha = imagecolorallocatealpha($img, $color[0], $color[1], $color[2], $rgba['alpha']);

            imagesetpixel($img, $x, $y, $color_alpha);

            imagecolordeallocate($img, $color_alpha);

        }

    }

}

Function to change the transparency of a png image on the fly. Works only with PNG, and with a browser supporting alpha channel.
The function stretches the opacity-range of the image, so that the most opaque pixel(s) will be set to the given opacity. (Other opacity values in pixels are modified accordingly.)
Returns success or failure.

<?php
function filter_opacity( &$img, $opacity ) //params: image resource id, opacity in percentage (eg. 80)
        {
            if( !isset( $opacity ) )
                { return false; }
            $opacity /= 100;
            
            //get image width and height
            $w = imagesx( $img );
            $h = imagesy( $img );
            
            //turn alpha blending off
            imagealphablending( $img, false );
            
            //find the most opaque pixel in the image (the one with the smallest alpha value)
            $minalpha = 127;
            for( $x = 0; $x < $w; $x++ )
                for( $y = 0; $y < $h; $y++ )
                    {
                        $alpha = ( imagecolorat( $img, $x, $y ) >> 24 ) & 0xFF;
                        if( $alpha < $minalpha )
                            { $minalpha = $alpha; }
                    }
            
            //loop through image pixels and modify alpha for each
            for( $x = 0; $x < $w; $x++ )
                {
                    for( $y = 0; $y < $h; $y++ )
                        {
                            //get current alpha value (represents the TANSPARENCY!)
                            $colorxy = imagecolorat( $img, $x, $y );
                            $alpha = ( $colorxy >> 24 ) & 0xFF;
                            //calculate new alpha
                            if( $minalpha !== 127 )
                                { $alpha = 127 + 127 * $opacity * ( $alpha - 127 ) / ( 127 - $minalpha ); }
                            else
                                { $alpha += 127 * $opacity; }
                            //get the color index with new alpha
                            $alphacolorxy = imagecolorallocatealpha( $img, ( $colorxy >> 16 ) & 0xFF, ( $colorxy >> 8 ) & 0xFF, $colorxy & 0xFF, $alpha );
                            //set pixel with the new color + opacity
                            if( !imagesetpixel( $img, $x, $y, $alphacolorxy ) )
                                { return false; }
                        }
                }
            return true;
        }
?>

Example for use:

 <?php
  $image = imagecreatefrompng( "img.png" );
  filter_opacity( $image, 75 );
  header( "content-type: image/png" );
  imagepng( $image );
  imagedestroy( $image );

From what i have been able to find from this function, it accepts the following arguments:
        IMG_FILTER_NEGATE
        IMG_FILTER_GRAYSCALE
        IMG_FILTER_EDGEDETECT
        IMG_FILTER_GAUSSIAN_BLUR
        IMG_FILTER_SELECTIVE_BLUR
        IMG_FILTER_EMBOSS
        IMG_FILTER_MEAN_REMOVAL

The following arguments need one or more arguments.
        IMG_FILTER_SMOOTH, -1924.124
        IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE, -127.12, -127.98, 127
        IMG_FILTER_CONTRAST, -90
        IMG_FILTER_BRIGHTNESS, 98
        
I haven't tested them all, the names speak for themselves.

filtertype is an integer. So if you want to use it as a variable and need to use, e.g. preg_match function you can do it in this way:

<?php
    $filter = IMG_FILTER_BRIGHTNESS;
    if( preg_match( '/^[0-9]{1,2}$/', $filter ) )
    {
        //Do something
    }
?>

The order of the filtertypes in this manual determines the number of each filter, from 0 to 11. E.g. IMG_FILTER_NEGATE=0.

For people looking to apply a 'multiply' effect on images like the one in Photoshop (generally b&w ones), you can achieve it with the IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE filter.

<?php
function multiplyColor(&$im, $color = array(255, 0, 0))
{
   //get opposite color
   $opposite = array(255 - $color[0], 255 - $color[1], 255 - $color[2]);

   //now we subtract the opposite color from the image
   imagefilter($im, IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE, -$opposite[0], -$opposite[1], -$opposite[2]);
}
?>

If you're looking for fast sepia effect that can be used for on-the-fly thumbnails generation you can't use sophisticated functions. The faster and much better way than described by webmaster at qudi dot de in the note from 31-Jan-2006 is applying colorize filter AFTER grayscale.

<?php

(...)

imagefilter($yourimage, IMG_FILTER_GRAYSCALE); imagefilter($yourimage, IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE, 90, 60, 40); 

(...)

?>

I used (90,60,40) for my sepia after couple of tests, however, if you need darker or lighter just check what suits you best.

Note: applying IMG_FILTER_EMBOSS to text and using in a customization to the CAPTCHA image script in phpBB or a project of your own is a very good way to stop OCR-ing bots from getting through. Embossed serif fonts are fairly easy for the human eye to understand but to an OCR script it is extremely difficult because it seems to give it the illusion of 3D. 

If you only allocate 2 or 3 colours in the image, it uses the background colour alot in the embossed text, which greatly contributes to this.

I made my own custom CAPTCHA script to stop phpBB post spam for a client site I was developing and I have gone from getting 2-3 new spam users created every day to zero.

Anything with the source code freely available out there right now is possible to be defeated by spammers once one of them stars sharing code with the other spammers, but if you run something at least someone custom, their bots will pass you over.

This routine was just what I was looking for, I wanted web admin users to be able to recolour their uploaded photos (to go with a news item) either a blue tint or sepia to match the appearance of other colours used on the website. 

Using a form with a select box containing the RGB values, I can give them the option of either of the two tints or no colourization at all, plus resize their images to the viewing size and a thumbnail image on the fly without having to use any other image editing software.

Searching for a way to easily change the color of the image, I tried IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE. I was unable to get the quality results I wanted. It turns out PHP's Colorize is the equivalent of Photoshop's "Linear Dodge" layer filter. 

Hue adjustments have always worked well for me, so I figured I could try with PHP.
This function is kind of slow on larger images, but on small images like what I'm using it for, the difference is trivial.

The script calculates the ratio or red, to green, to blue in the color provided, then scales the image appropriately... unfortunately, it does it pixel by pixel.

Here's a demo and comparison of this function, to photoshop's hue function, to PHP's colorize. http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3167/imagefilterhuedemo.png

<?php
function imagefilterhue($im,$r,$g,$b){
    $rgb = $r+$g+$b;
    $col = array($r/$rgb,$b/$rgb,$g/$rgb);
    $height = imagesy($im);
    $width = imagesx($im);
    for($x=0; $x<$width; $x++){
        for($y=0; $y<$height; $y++){
            $rgb = ImageColorAt($im, $x, $y);
            $r = ($rgb >> 16) & 0xFF;
            $g = ($rgb >> 8) & 0xFF;
            $b = $rgb & 0xFF;
            $newR = $r*$col[0] + $g*$col[1] + $b*$col[2];
            $newG = $r*$col[2] + $g*$col[0] + $b*$col[1];
            $newB = $r*$col[1] + $g*$col[2] + $b*$col[0];
            imagesetpixel($im, $x, $y,imagecolorallocate($im, $newR, $newG, $newB));
        }
    }
}
header ("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$im = imagecreatefromjpeg("test.jpg");

// Usage: Just as imagefilter(), except with no filtertype.
// imagefilterhue(resource $image, int $red, int $green , int $blue)
imagefilterhue($im,2,70,188);

// The equivalent with colorize, as tested in demo image: imagefilter($im, IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE, 2, 70, 188);

imagejpeg($im);
?>

A colorize algorithm wich preserves color luminosity (i.e black 
will output black, and white will output white).
This works in PHP4 and is great for customizing interfaces 
dinamically.

<?php
function colorize($img_src,$img_dest, $r, $g, $b) 
{
if(!$im = imagecreatefromgif($img_src))
  return "Could not use image $img_src"; 
    
//We will create a monochromatic palette based on
//the input color
//which will go from black to white
//Input color luminosity: this is equivalent to the 
//position of the input color in the monochromatic
//palette
$lum_inp=round(255*($r+$g+$b)/765); //765=255*3

//We fill the palette entry with the input color at its 
//corresponding position

$pal[$lum_inp]['r']=$r;
$pal[$lum_inp]['g']=$g;
$pal[$lum_inp]['b']=$b;

//Now we complete the palette, first we'll do it to
//the black,and then to the white.

//FROM input to black
//===================
//how many colors between black and input
$steps_to_black=$lum_inp;        

//The step size for each component
if($steps_to_black)
 {
 $step_size_red=$r/$steps_to_black;    
 $step_size_green=$g/$steps_to_black;    
 $step_size_blue=$b/$steps_to_black;    
 }

for($i=$steps_to_black;$i>=0;$i--)
 {
 $pal[$steps_to_black-$i]['r']=$r-round($step_size_red*$i);
 $pal[$steps_to_black-$i]['g']=$g-round($step_size_green*$i);
 $pal[$steps_to_black-$i]['b']=$b-round($step_size_blue*$i);
 }

//From input to white:
//===================
//how many colors between input and white
$steps_to_white=255-$lum_inp;

if($steps_to_white)
  {
  $step_size_red=(255-$r)/$steps_to_white;    
  $step_size_green=(255-$g)/$steps_to_white;    
  $step_size_blue=(255-$b)/$steps_to_white;    
  }
 else
  $step_size_red=$step_size_green=$step_size_blue=0;

 //The step size for each component
 for($i=($lum_inp+1);$i<=255;$i++)
  {
  $pal[$i]['r']=$r + round($step_size_red*($i-$lum_inp));
  $pal[$i]['g']=$g + round($step_size_green*($i-$lum_inp));
  $pal[$i]['b']=$b + round($step_size_blue*($i-$lum_inp));
  }
//--- End of palette creation

//Now,let's change the original palette into the one we
//created
for($c = 0; $c < $palette_size; $c++)
 { 
 $col = imagecolorsforindex($im, $c);          
 $lum_src=round(255*($col['red']+$col['green']
                +$col['blue'])/765);
 $col_out=$pal[$lum_src];
 imagecolorset($im, $c, $col_out['r'], 
                                $col_out['g'],
                                $col_out['b']);
 }

 //save the image file
 imagepng($im,$img_dest);
 imagedestroy($im);
}//end function colorize
?>

I played with IMG_FILTER_SMOOTH and tried some negative
values.

-1 to -7: looks like a mix of smoothness and edgedetect

-8: image seems to be completely broken

-9 and lower: kind of sharpening effect (-9 sharper than -10)

I think the sharpening effect in particular could be useful.

IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE doesn't seem to work on palette image, here's a way to achieve same result with palette image:

<?php
//$color is an array containing rvb infos (ie: array(255,80,0))
function paletteColorize($imgResource,array $color){
    $nbColors = imagecolorstotal($imgResource);
    for($i=0; $i<$nbColors; $i++){
        $c = array_values(imagecolorsforindex($imgRes,$i));
        for($y=0;$y<3;$y++)
            $c[$y] = max(0,min(255,$c[$y]+$color[$y]));
        imagecolorset($imgResource,$i,$c[0],$c[1],$c[2]);
    }
}
?>

Here's also a function that work on both truecolor and palette images that try to do something similar to greyscale with a given color
<?php
function colorScale($imgRes,array $color){
        imagefilter($imgRes,IMG_FILTER_GRAYSCALE);
        $color = self::_read_color($color);
        $luminance=($color[0]+$color[1]+$color[2])/3; // average luminance added by the color
        $brightnessCorrection = $luminance/3; // quantity of brightness to correct for each channel
        if( $luminance < 127 ){
            $brightnessCorrection -= 127/3; // color is dark so we have to negate the brightness correction 
        }
        if(! imageistruecolor($imgRes) ){
            $nbColors = imagecolorstotal($imgRes);
            for($i=0; $i<$nbColors; $i++){
                $c = array_values(imgagecolorsforindex($imgRes,$i));
                for($y=0;$y<3;$y++){
                    $c[$y] = max(0, min(255, $c[$y] + ($color[$y]-$luminance) + $brightnessCorrection) ); // parentheses just for better comprehension
                }
                imagecolorset($omgRes,$i,$c[0],$c[1],$c[2]);
            }
        }else{ // much easier with truecolor
            imagefilter($imgRes, IMG_FILTER_COLORIZE, $color[0]-$luminance, $color[1]-$luminance, $color[2]-$luminance);
            imagefilter($imgRes, IMG_FILTER_BRIGHTNESS, $brightnessCorrection);
        }
}
?>

with hope that someone will find this useful

// With transparent PNG file you can colorize the "positive" items and stand the transparent has it is - Beta code

<?php

$im = imagecreatefrompng('image.png');
$width = imagesx($im);

It appears that imagefilter doesn't play nice with apha. If you run an imagefilter on a transparent image it'll return a black image...similar to a lot of Photoshop plugins do.
