Question

Is there some script (better if php), which can do some operations like?

1. resizing
2. reduce/increase lightness
3. change contrast
4. change quality

Or some api's, which can help.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I used this one recently and it worked really well for me, http://pear.php.net/package/Image_Transform

Answer 2

I used to use ImageMagik for this kind of thing. When I used it, you were restricted to Perl. It seems that there are now two PHP interfaces to the API.

Answer 3

For most things I use PHP's imageXXXX() functions; they're portable, and pretty much every PHP install I've come across has them available.

For more advanced needs, consider using ImageMagick or some other scriptable image processing; if it doesn't come with a PHP interface, or you cannot install the required extensions, you can always 'shell out'.

Also, caching the processed images is probably a good idea in most situations, unless the output is different every time.
