Photo Gallery Forums

Hi there...

i want to display a transparent PNG file in my gallery.. the problem is, that the thumbnail is coverted as jpeg

... then my pic is white... see attach..

is there a possibility to use png as tumbs?

regards

Your PNG is not in fact converted to PNG ... but the white frame you have in your gallery is still displaying behind the PNG file. You would need to disable the frame effect ...

PNG is not possible for thumbnails, because Imagevue creates jpg preview files for all images, regardless of their original format.

I have a similar problem. I'm fine with a jpg as thumbnail for my png but can i change the automatic black color background for the jpg thumbnail for something like gray or white???

Thanks!

The thing is, the PNG does stay transparent, but there is still a frame behind your image as defined in your theme. You would need to disalbe the frame, either globally, or for that folder, to prevent anything displaying behind your PNG.

Thanks for the fast reply but what i want is to change the background of the thumbnail. My .png show's properly but as you can see, the frame of my thumbnails is white but the background of the .jpg thumbnail is black.
Is it possible to change de default black background for all transparent PNG thumbnails?

THANKS!

It is a PHP library that converts and resizes images, so I will need to check this if the PHP module can be edited to set a white background instead of black when removing PNG transparency ...

Here is the fix. Replace iv-includes/include/ivImage.class.php with the file attached.

I wasted four hours yesterday trying to figure out why all my png backgrounds were now turning to white (which don't match my gallery) - Nick, this is not a "fix", this is a change, and a serious one at that - HOW do I get the black thumbnail backgrounds back that match the rest of my gallery? I hope you've have added a setting somewhere that let's the user decide background color, and that one persons desires hasn't become the forced choice for the masses. HELP!

Sorry about that, looks like we will have to add an option for background color. Right now you can patch it up by removing
from iv-includes/include/ivImage.class.php

Thanks Nick

By the way, background color for transparent png is now an option in Imagevue X2.8.

Much Appreciated
