Dividing an image - Anthony 17/6/2008

Make an image look as though it is made up from individual poleroid photos. The image rotations and spacings are random with certain limits so the final image will be slightly different everytime. I have modified the code slightly to use image formats that would not normaly be in the folder miff and bmp. If you have any bmp files in the same folder as this code they will be deleted. This will also improve the quality slightly as I was using jpg format for one set of tempory images before.

  1. <?php
  2. // Original image
  3. $image = '../original_images/sunflower.jpg';

  8. // Amount of images in y
