Instant Picture Creator 0.1

Instant Picture Creator is an Image Wrapper written in PHP to produce images on demand for websites. It uses filters, so you can manipulate images in every way by adding own filters. Currently it comes with two basic filters for Resizing images (Example: thumbnails) and Manipulation image colour palette. You can combine filters (like ‘Resize-square-100/Palette-grey’) and it is possible to define Shortcuts (like ‘greythumb’).

Filtered images can be cached, so it is fast and only need some more server time at the first image request.

It doesn’t need a special backend interface, you can manipulate images by a request like http://yourserver.com/picture.png?filter=thumbnail (you don’t need to do it by yourself, it will be done by the first request anyway). In this way you can integrate this mechanism very easy in running websites. You can use it only for one (or more) folder (with images) or you can you use Instant Picture Creator in general for all images on your website. Of cause you also can use it in your backends to prepare thumbnails for uploaded images, etc ...

Currently it supports GIF, PNG and JPEG image types.
