Imagechache is a good idea if you wish to save bandwidth and have a bit flexibility with images.
Modules required:
- ImageAPI
- ImageAPI GD2
- ImageCache
- ImageCache UI
install and enable those modules
- then go to "Statusbook Configuration"->Statusbook
- you should see "ImageCache Config"
- click on "Generate Presets"
- this will auto generate your presets for Imagecache.
If you want to change any of the presets then go to "site Building" -> "imagechace"
- you should see all the presets that was previously generated by statusbook.
ImageCache
This package provides a suite of additional processes that can be added to the imagecache pipeline, including:
* Watermarking - a much requested addition that enables you to place any image anywhere over a source picture, with alpha transparency mcp
* Overlays - Add photo-corners etc to the image
* Text overlay - add a short copyright notice to your image, using available system fonts
* Color-shifting - Colorize images. Also invert.
* Brighten/Darken
* Alpha blending - turn an image into a transparent mask, and back into a flat image against another color
* Canvas manipulation - add padding, either onto color or transparent backgrounds mcp 70-270
* Background - Place your image onto another source background
* File Format switcher - If you need tranparency in JPGs : make them PNG. If your PNG thumbnails are 30K each, save them as JPGs
* Rounded corners (transparent) mcp certification. With input from canaryMason, we can even set different radius for different corners, and round just one corner etc.
