CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello,

I've tried searching for this but with no luck. Can anyone tell me why png images will not resize in image manager (thumbs) without loosing the transparency to a black canvas? I need to use the image manager for a module I'm working on but every time it copies over the png images they loose their transparency and gain a white border.

I have the GD library installed with support for all formats. GIFs work fine.

cmsms 1.6; Filemanager: 1.0; PHP 5; Apache server on linux.

Thanks!

Update:

I found out that this is actually dependent on the GD library. Take a look at http://www.akemapa.com/2008/07/10/php-gd-resize-transparent-image-png-gif/.

Can this please be implemented in Image Manager's GD class for next release?

please submit a feature request in the Forge for this.  it is more likely to go unnoticed here in the forums

Done.

I think you should have put it in the CMSMS core features request. Image Manager module seems not to be continued.

I also noticed the upload by the image manager of a png file with transparency results in a non-transparent file. Same kind of problem.
