PHP/GD Can Go DIAF

05.07.08 | written by Dave | 1 Comment | General

That’s a little harsh.  Really, trying to get nice Photoshop-like text effects using GD can go die in a fire.  I’m having some major issues with using filters/convolutions and retaining alpha channel information.  All the built-in PHP functions basically don’t pay attention to alpha at all, so I lose a lot of information and stuff gets all wonky when I actually use the effects and then overlay the layer back onto the original image.

Blech.

Just wanted to vent.  I’ll have more later.
