blur

Applies the selective blur filter. Blurs the image

Usage

$image->blur();

Parameters

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

brightness

Applies the brightness filter. Changes the brightness of the image.

Usage

$image->brightness(*number $level);

Parameters

• *number $level - The level of brightness

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

Example

$image->brightness($level);

colorize

Applies the colorize filter. Like greyscale except you can specify the color.

Usage

$image->colorize(*number $red, *number $blue, *number $green, number $alpha);

Parameters

• *number $red - The 255 value of red to use
• *number $blue - The 255 value of blue to use
• *number $green - The 255 value of green to use
• number $alpha - The level of alpha transparency

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

Example

$image->colorize($red, $blue, $green);

contrast

Applies the contrast filter. Changes the contrast of the image.

Usage

$image->contrast(*number $level);

Parameters

• *number $level - The level of contrast

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

Example

$image->contrast($level);

crop

Crops the image

Usage

$image->crop(int|null $width, int|null $height);

Parameters

• int|null $width - The width; If null will use the original width
• int|null $height - The height; If null will use the original height

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

Example

$image->crop();

edgedetect

Applies the edgedetect filter. Uses edge detection to highlight the edges in the image.

Usage

$image->edgedetect();

Parameters

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

emboss

Applies the emboss filter. Embosses the image.

Usage

$image->emboss();

Parameters

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

gaussianBlur

Applies the gaussian blur filter. Blurs the image using the Gaussian method.

Usage

$image->gaussianBlur();

Parameters

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

getDimensions

Returns the size of the image

Usage

$image->getDimensions();

Parameters

Returns array

getResource

Returns the resource for custom editing

Usage

$image->getResource();

Parameters

Returns [RESOURCE]

greyscale

Applies the greyscale filter. Converts the image into grayscale.

Usage

$image->greyscale();

Parameters

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

invert

Inverts the image.

Usage

$image->invert(bool $vertical);

Parameters

• bool $vertical - If true invert vertical; if false invert horizontal

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

Example

$image->invert();

meanRemoval

Applies the mean removal filter. Uses mean removal to achieve a “sketchy” effect.

Usage

$image->meanRemoval();

Parameters

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

negative

Applies the greyscale filter. Reverses all colors of the image.

Usage

$image->negative();

Parameters

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

resize

Resizes the image. This is a version of scale but keeping it’s original aspect ratio

Usage

$image->resize(int|null $width, int|null $height);

Parameters

• int|null $width - the width; if null will use the original width
• int|null $height - the height; if null will use the original height

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

Example

$image->resize();

rotate

Rotates the image.

Usage

$image->rotate(*int $degree, int $background);

Parameters

• *int $degree - The degree to rotate by
• int $background - Background color code

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

Example

$image->rotate(123);

scale

Scales the image. If width or height is set to null a width or height will be auto determined based on the aspect ratio

Usage

$image->scale(int|null $width, int|null $height);

Parameters

• int|null $width - The width; if null will use the original width
• int|null $height - The height; if null will use the original height

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

Example

$image->scale();

setTransparency

Sets the background color to be transparent

Usage

$image->setTransparency();

Parameters

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

smooth

Applies the smooth filter. Makes the image smoother.

Usage

$image->smooth(*number $level);

Parameters

$image->save(*string $path, string|null $type);

Parameters

• *string $path - The path to save to
• string|null $type - The render type

Returns Cradle\Image\ImageHandler

Example

$image->save('foo');
