[SOLVED] Layering images leaving strange white dots?

[kernelgpf]

I edited a script to layer images together, which it's working, but it's leaving funny white pixels in random places, and I can't figure out why. Help? Here's my script-

 

Here's the image: http://www.dragon-dynasty.com/test2.php

 

 

<?php 
$v=$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"];

  $background = imagecreatefromjpeg("$v/Etc/fairypics/femalefairyfinal.jpg"); 

  $insert2 = imagecreatefromjpeg("$v/Etc/fairypics/stuff/cutechestfemale1.jpg"); 

imagecolortransparent($insert2,imagecolorat($insert2,0,0));
  imagecopymerge($background,$insert2,0,0,0,0,400,400,100); 

  $insert3 = imagecreatefromjpeg("$v/Etc/fairypics/stuff/cuteheadfemale1.jpg"); 
imagecolortransparent($insert3,imagecolorat($insert3,0,0));

  imagecopymerge($background,$insert3,0,0,0,0,400,400,100); 

   header ("Content-type: image/jpeg"); 
  imagejpeg($background); 

?>

have you tired to layer the images manually, like in photoshop to ensure the picture layer properly?

No, I'll try it now..

They layer fine. I think the problem is the imagecolortransparent function is trying to erase all white, even on the girl, when I only want it to remove the white from AROUND her.. how would I do that? I tried using gif and png format.. png wouldn't work, and gif made the image look all choppy.

[kernelgpf]

Before I saved the image I removed all the white around her, but when I saved it, the white returned..

but when I saved it, the white returned..

 

That is because you saved it as a JPG file. If you want transparency it has to be saved as a GIF

I got it working.. I used gif instead but manually transparentized it! Thanks!
