Asido is an open-source PHP (PHP4/PHP5) image processing solution, with "pluggable" drivers(adapters) for
virtually any environment (either GD2 (php_gd2), ImageMagick via shell, ImageMagick via extension
(php_imagick), MagickWand (php_magickwand), etc).
Features
Asido supports the following features:
• pluggable drivers for GD2 (php_gd2), MagickWand (php_magickwand), ImageMagick extension (php_imagick)
as well as ImageMagick shell commands
• "hack" drivers: workarrounds for certain disablities of a particular driver by using some of the other functionality
provided by the environment
• various resize functionality: proportional resize, resize only by width or height, stretch resize, fit resize, frame
resize
• watermark images, including tiling watermark and automatic scaling of large watermarks
• rotate images
• copy images onto one another
• crop images
• grayscale images
• convert images between different filetypes
Here are some of the features covered.
Fit Resize
This type of resize is a proportional resize, but its behaviour is affected by the size (dimensions) of the image. If the
image is smaller than the "resize frame" (provided by the $width and $height arguments), it will NOT be resized: it
will resize only if any of its dimensions are bigger than those of the "resize frame". This feature is very handy; it will
save you the pixelation effect if you are trying to resize smaller images to fit into larger "frames".
Frame Resize
This is another handy resize feature. It is a kind of compromise between the stretch resize and the proportional
resize. This feature will resize the image proportionally using the Fit feature (not the regular proportional resize) and
will place it in the center of a canvas, which has $width and $height as its dimensions, and $color as its background.
This is very useful, because it offers the ability to fit virtually any image inside any resize frame - and the
