(PECL imagick 2, PECL imagick 3)
Imagick::embossImage — Returns a grayscale image with a three-dimensional effect
Returns a grayscale image with a three-dimensional effect. We convolve the image with a Gaussian operator of the given radius and standard deviation (sigma). For reasonable results, radius should be larger than sigma. Use a radius of 0 and it will choose a suitable radius for you.
radiusThe radius of the effect
sigmaThe sigma of the effect
Returns true on success.
Throws ImagickException on error.
Example #1 Imagick::embossImage()
<?php
function embossImage($imagePath, $radius, $sigma) {
$imagick = new \Imagick(realpath($imagePath));
$imagick->embossImage($radius, $sigma);
header("Content-Type: image/jpg");
echo $imagick->getImageBlob();
}
?>embossImage() will actually return a color image with a 3D effect. If you want a gray scale image, you can use imagefilter() from the regular GD functions.
<?php
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
$image = new Imagick("opossum.jpg");
$image->embossImage( 0, 1 );
echo $image;
?>
