imagelayereffect — Set the alpha blending flag to use the bundled libgd layering effects
Set the alpha blending flag to use the bundled libgd layering effects.
Eine von den verschiedenen Erzeugungsfunktionen wie imagecreatetruecolor() gelieferte Grafikressource.
One of the following constants:
Gibt bei Erfolg TRUE zurück. Im Fehlerfall wird FALSE zurückgegeben.
Beispiel #1 imagelayereffect() example
<?php
// Setup an image
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(100, 100);
// Set a background
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 100, 100, imagecolorallocate($im, 220, 220, 220));
// Apply the overlay alpha blending flag
imagelayereffect($im, IMG_EFFECT_OVERLAY);
// Draw two grey ellipses
imagefilledellipse($im, 50, 50, 40, 40, imagecolorallocate($im, 100, 255, 100));
imagefilledellipse($im, 50, 50, 50, 80, imagecolorallocate($im, 100, 100, 255));
imagefilledellipse($im, 50, 50, 80, 50, imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 100, 100));
// Output
header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt eine ähnliche Ausgabe wie:
Hinweis: Diese Funktion steht nur zur Verfügung, wenn PHP mit der GD Bibliothek übersetzt wurde, die mit PHP zusammen erhältlich ist.
Hinweis: Diese Funktion setzt die GD-Bibliothek in der Version 2.0.1 oder höher (empfohlen wird mindestens 2.0.28) voraus.
I have been getting a fatal error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagelayereffect()
This doesn't work with Ubuntu server (8.04 lts) and the php5-gd package. If you need this you will have to recompile PHP with GD built-in.

imagelayereffect needs to be applied to the destination image, not the source image. As noted, the only useful "effect" as of this time is IMG_EFFECT_OVERLAY since the others are merely another way of setting the alpha blending flag.
You can also use imagecopymerge with a lower pct argument to blend two images with more control over the opacity at which the top image is blended.
<?
// overlays $im_src onto $im_dst properly (assuming same dims)
imagelayereffect($im_dst, IMG_EFFECT_OVERLAY);
imagecopy($im_dst, $im_src, 0, 0, 0, 0, $im_dst_x, $im_dst_y);
?>
I found the following example on a Chinese site and translated and adjusted it. It creates a portrait from the sample picture.
<?php
// Portrait image
$im = imagecreatefromjpeg( "sample.jpg");
// Get width and height
$w = imagesx($im);
$h = imagesy($im);
// Non-through
$c_visible = 0x007F7F7F;
// Background (black)
$c_bg = 0x00000000;
// Create mask
$im_mask = imagecreatetruecolor($w,$h);
imageFilledRectangle($im_mask, 0,0, $w,$h, $c_bg);
imageFilledEllipse ($im_mask, $w/2,$h/2, $w*.9,$h*.9, $c_visible);
// Only overlay seems to something useful
imagelayereffect($im_mask, IMG_EFFECT_OVERLAY);
imagecopy($im_mask, $im, 0,0, 0,0, $w,$h);
imagedestroy($im);
imagepng($im_mask);
imagedestroy($im_mask);
?>
Try removing the 'create mask' code and just add another image with 'createimagefromjpeg' to see 'normal' overlay. It blends the colors like different layers in Photoshop.
I assume, that the specific effects are similiar to those used in Adobe Photoshop for blending layers.
There might be things like IMG_EFFECT_MULTIPLY resulting of that.
