Convert a set of colors of an image to transparent

[pepe_yola]

Hi:

I have developed a simple PHP code to convert some defined colors of an image to transparent, while keep the other colors (including transparent areas) as in the original image. The code is as follow:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

<?php
function Verify($Red,$Green,$Blue) {
        //Here I define the colors to convert to transparent
       
        if ($Red==245 and $Green==0 and $Blue==0) return false;
        if ($Red==196 and $Green==227 and $Blue==0 return false;
        return true;
}

$image_source = imagecreatefrompng('test.png');
$new_image = imagecreatetruecolor(256, 256);
imagealphablending($new_image, false);
imagesavealpha($new_image, true);
$Fill = imagecolorallocatealpha($new_image,0,0,0,127);
imagefill($new_image, 0, 0, $Fill);

for ($y=0;$y<256;$y++) {
        for ($x=0;$x<256;$x++) {
                $rgb = imagecolorat($image_source,$x,$y);
                $r = ($rgb >> 16) & 0xFF;
                $g = ($rgb >>8) & 0xFF;
                $b = $rgb & 0xFF;              
                if (Verify($r,$g,$b)) {imagesetpixel($new_image,$x,$y,$rgb);}          
        }
}      

header("Content-Type: image/png");
imagepng($new_image);
imagedestroy($image_source);
imagedestroy($new_image);
?>

The script works very well but, as you can image, the performance is not very good. I would like to ask in this forum how to improve the performance of the code.

Thanks in advance.
