Message-ID: <4t0s5rF11k4njU1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> from Danny Boy
contained the following:
Doing it with a merge is pretty easy, but can be a bit server intensive.
The best option is to save the merge once done. That way, if the same
parameters are requested by someone else, the image is already made.
Alternatively, for something like a frame you may be able to get away
with dynamically generated divs. See
http://www.walkingoutdoors.co.uk/Geoff/gallery/index.php for an example.
I am sorry I used the word "frame". But as it's a concept that existed
shortly before the birth of the Internet, I thought it might still mean
something else than html frames occasionally. :-)
I know what you meant :-) That method I showed you would do for
picture frames that have a parallel section. You just need a series of
small images for each frame. The benefit of doing it that way is that
the 'frame' can shrink and grow to fit the image.
I meant images of the kind of frames you use around e.g. paintings. Like
these: http://www.museum-replicas.com/Frames.asp
Ah. That kind of frame would involve the merge method. The problem
with that is that the opening would have to be in the same aspect ratio
as the painting or you'd have to crop the image. You'd also have to
match the orientation (portrait or landscape). Much more complex.
