Hmm... an interesting request just came in via my in-box. I was asked if I could dynamically round the corners of the images a bit to give the banner a more "finished" appearance.

The answer is yes. When the script creates the image, I can overlay a mask over the images. I will mock up a version of it tomorrow and you guys (especially Corey) can decide if it looks better. I am interested in seeing what it looks like myself. I suspect it might look good.

Any dupes for anyone? I thought not! HA!

 

i vote for the last one!

 

X2
maybe put tread marks in there ?

 

how do i make tread marks?

 

Remember... If anyone wants to play with the banner and watch the images, don't keep refreshing the whole page - it loads up the server more than necessary. Just click on the link below and keep refreshing the resulting page.

yeah, i was on just the php page pressing refresh. i remember you saying that earlier in this or another thread.

 

And his Latin is a traditional insult...

"In the good old days, children like you were left to perish on windswept crags."

duc duc remus duc fluminae secundo!

Vivete vivete vivete in dom insomnio! (perhaps not exact as my Latin is a tad rusty)

 

I was a 1st class Boy Scout growing up, and morse code was one thing I was very interested in back then.

We use to use it on our Walkie Talkies back in the 60s to communicate too with others.

 

I'm lost... (or I don't like to read a bunch of stuff...)... how and where do I submit my pictures? And they have to be 130x130, right?

 

It's all in the thread for the reading...

133x100, less than 10k and send to corey(a)yotatech(dot)com

 

send to corey at yotatech dot com.
must be 133w x 100h
in your case, name the file keggo1.jpg, up to keggo3.jpg

 

sweet... as I said... I don't like sifting through all the useless banter... Anyway, thanks Rob and Charles!

 

I would argue that it's hardly "useless banter" if it contains information that you require, but that's a thread for another day.

You are welcome.

 

All the info you needed was in the very first post in this thread.

Rob, thanks for sending the new script for the rounded corners.

 

No problem... worked on it this morning...

I think I like it, but I am thinking a bit less rounding... what do you think?

 

Ahhh... ok, I see... the last I saw that info wasn't there. Anyway, thanks again for the info.

 

php script can round the corners??

 

Sure. With enough code, I can do almost anything you can in photoshop via PHP. This is being done with an .png overlay where everything is transparent except the corners, effectively creating a mask.

 

And before anyone complains, I will be providing Corey with an assortment of masks so that he can decide which he likes, if any.

 

I like it, nice work Rob!
