WideImage is an object-oriented library for image manipulation. It requires PHP 5.2+ with GD2 extension. The library provides a simple way to loading, manipulating and saving images in the most common image formats.
The library does resizing, cropping, rotating, watermarking (full list is here http://wideimage.sourceforge.net/documentation/manipulating-images/), and it works well with transparent pngs and gifs.
Currently the library is just the WideImage library, with the defined(‘_JEXEC’), index.html
