Looking for a PHP Image Library... rounded corners & resizing

Just looking for a good PHP Image Library, I want to display images with rounded corners, do some resizing, and blur some other pictures either on the fly, or on upload.

From stackoverflow

• Have a go with http://wideimage.sourceforge.net/wiki/MainPage

  It doesn't do it out of the box but you could have a partially transparent PNG that you could put on top of your original image, making it blurry.

• I'd suggest to have a look around ImageMagick.

  There are excellent wrappers for the library in PHP too: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#php

• this is a dirty hack i did for a project a while ago. it applies an grayscale image as a transparency map to another image (black is transparent, white opaque. scaling the map to the images proportions is supported). you could create a fitting rounded-corners transparency map (including antialiasing, whoo!).

  it's slow because it's pure php, but i always cache the results anyway.

  $image and $transparencyMap are gd image ressources, so you have to imagecreatefromxyz them yourself.

  <?php
  function applyTransparencyMap($image, $transparencyMap) {
      if (!function_exists('extractrgb')) {
          function extractrgb($rgb) {
              $a = ($rgb >> 24) & 0xFF;
              $r = ($rgb >> 16) & 0xFF;
              $g = ($rgb >> 8) & 0xFF;
              $b = $rgb & 0xFF;
              return array($r, $g, $b, $a);
          }
      }
  
      $sx = imagesx($image);
      $sy = imagesy($image);
      $tx = imagesx($transparencyMap);
      $ty = imagesy($transparencyMap);
      $dx = $tx / $sx;
      $dy = $ty / $sy;
  
      $dimg = imagecreatetransparent(imagesx($image), imagesy($image));
  
      for ($y = 0; $y<imagesy($image); $y++) {
          for ($x = 0; $x<imagesx($image); $x++) {
              $intcolor                = imagecolorat($image, $x, $y);
              $intalpha                = imagecolorat($transparencyMap, floor($x*$dx), floor($y*$dy-1));
              list($tr, $tg, $tb, $ta) = extractrgb($intalpha);
              $alphaval                = 127-floor(($tr+$tg+$tb)/6);
              list($r, $g, $b, $a)     = extractrgb($intcolor);
              $targetAlpha             = max(0, min(127,$alphaval+$a));
              $sct                     = imagecolorallocatealpha($image, $r, $g, $b, $targetAlpha);
              imagesetpixel($dimg, $x, $y, $sct);
          }
      }
  
      return $dimg;
  }
  ?>
  

  on the other hand, better use wideimage, as apikot suggested. does the same and more.
