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.

This software is based on gambas so it shoud work on every Linux or U*ix like system where gambas is available.

You need to install gambas runtime or gambas gambas development ide.
I think it shoould work on higher gambas versions.

I was tired to make poor quality slideshows in VCD/SVCD format and finally met dvd-slideshow: it is a very nice program that produces high quality DVD slideshows from jpeg images. It has crop, kenburn andpan effects.

I made some slideshows but reliazed that I wasted too much time to prepare the slideshow "source": I needed a visual program to speed up the process of kenburns, crop and pan effects creation.

I googled the net but didnt find any souch program so I decided to create one myself: slcreator was born!

How I did it? I built it using gambas: a visual ide with a object oriented basic interpreter which permits to create great programs in a "fast" way. I tried some other languages but I was not skilled enough to use them for this kind of project! gambas permitted me to realize the job in a very nice way!
