Hi,

I'm using eZ Image filters to resize my PNG pictures.

Here my image.ini.append.php :

<?php /* #?ini charset="iso-8859-1"?

[AliasSettings]
AliasList[]=alternate_view

[alternate_view]
Reference=reference
Filters[]=geometry/scaledownonly=45;45
*/

And, when I try to view the resized picture, I get a black background instead of transparency background.
I think this problem comes from the grafical module that eZ is using. How could I know which extension eZ uses, and how could I change it? (Imagick / GD... or another that works with eZ).

Thanks,

Olivier.

This is controlled by image.ini settings, and if ImageMagic is not used (as in GD is used instead), you can see that in settings/override/image.ini.append.php with content like this:

[ImageMagick]
IsEnabled=false

This message gave me idea
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32243/can-png-image-transparency-be-preserved-when-using-phps-gdlib-imagecopyresampled

And i made small changes in ezimagegdhandler.php:
i added

    imagealphablending( $temporaryImageObject, false );    imagesavealpha( $temporaryImageObject, true );

after

       $temporaryImageObject = eZImageGDHandler::imageCreate( $destinationWidth, $destinationHeight, eZImageGDHandler::isImageTrueColor( $imageObject, $sourceMimeData ) );

It saves PNG transparency before resizing.

I made patch, if someone is interested. http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=15640&activeItem=1
