I'm still having one big problem however. I just can't figure out where to put any images that I want to use as filters, for example, watermarks, masks, etc. Even though I have managed to get this working at one point on a site, I have since managed to break it! I got it to work by simply dumping my watermark in every location I could think of! When I tried to delete them one by one to discover the correct location, I now cannot get it to work again! One example of an overlaid png uses the following code: &fltr[]=over|img/fade.png Now where on earth do I create the folder called 'img'?! I've tried in my html root folder, the wordpress root folder, the wp-content/files_flutter folder, the plugins/fresh-page/thirdparty/phpthumb/ folder, all with no success. Firstly, if some kind soul can point me to at least the right folder location, I can start seeing what is up! Also, does anyone know if there are any strict requirements on the format of the .png files? At the moment, mine are transparent png-24 files, created in photoshop, but like I said I'm sure I had these working before! Thanks for any help anyone can offer! Hi there,

Thanks for the tutorial, I used this to really get my head around using phpThumb. I’m still having one big problem however. I just can’t figure out where to put any images that I want to use as filters, for example, watermarks, masks, etc.

Even though I have managed to get this working at one point on a site, I have since managed to break it! I got it to work by simply dumping my watermark in every location I could think of! When I tried to delete them one by one to discover the correct location, I now cannot get it to work again!

One example of an overlaid png uses the following code:

&fltr[]=over|img/fade.png

Now where on earth do I create the folder called ‘img’?! I’ve tried in my html root folder, the wordpress root folder, the wp-content/files_flutter folder, the plugins/fresh-page/thirdparty/phpthumb/ folder, all with no success.

Firstly, if some kind soul can point me to at least the right folder location, I can start seeing what is up! Also, does anyone know if there are any strict requirements on the format of the .png files? At the moment, mine are transparent png-24 files, created in photoshop, but like I said I’m sure I had these working before!

Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

As for the 'custom' field, I can't seem to get it to function. As far as I can tell it does nothing — maybe someone else out there has made use of it Hi Shannon,

Is there a way to render the image only once and use the cached version subsequently? i thought there'd be a way to utilize the 'custom' field from the admin, rather than putting it into the template.

I have used fluter for a while now and steered clear of image manipulation as it was so damn confusing - this helps so much and works like a charm - thank you so much. I have an issue with the 'add image from url in a flutter field in the admin panel - do you think you could help? Absolutely AWESOME, love it love it love it!!
