Imagers use a variety of techniques to achieve unique results. Starting with Mr. C and his wonderful ImageMagick™, the art has expanded to those who use computer software such as PaintShopPro™ as well as to a growing number of people who use open source software to script the imaging at a host that allows advanced scripting, and the number of people who utilize more than one method for the same image grows expotentially. If you have a hosting account at Arbor, Serverextreme, Zbox, Amish,or the Zones extreme server, you are able to use this script. Any server that allows PHP scripting can be used.


To some people, the mention of the word scripting brings on a panic attack and I totally understand. But if the script is all set to deliver, it is only a matter of CCP; and we can all do that. This is a script that merges one image into another, and has four points of interest only.
  • The top URL ($back) is the backdrop for the merge.
    $back = imagecreatefromjpeg("http://www.wormworks.org/images/skyarte/WEEN/Graveyard.jpg");
  • The second URL ($merge) is the image to merge into it.
    $merge = imagecreatefromjpeg("http://www.wormworks.org/images/skyarte/WEEN/zombieB.jpg");
  • The last number in the string is 40. That is % of merge and can be 0-100. Adjust it if you wish.
    imagecopymerge($back,$merge,0,0,0,0,500,400,40);
  • At the bottom of the script..remove the slashes from in front of the output line when ready to output.
    //imagejpeg($back, ('ImageMerge.jpg'));
  • Save and View
  • Reload your FM and your image should be there.
NOTES:
  • For best results all images should be 500x400.
  • Be careful of the punctuation when changing the URLs.


Here is the script
CCP it to your webpage, and name it merge.php. Go into the edit of the file.
Add your two URLs in the designated places.
Adjust the % if you want.

That's all there is to it. When you have something you like, rename it and take it to ImageMagick™ to further image it. This is the original merge of this script.
