Loading GIF, removing transparency, saving JPG

Post by ckress »

Hi everyone,

I'd like to load a transparent GIF, remove its transpareny information and save it as a JPG with background color set to white.

Using GflAX 2.60 - GFL 2.70 (Light) and ASP/JScript, I've tried this:

Code: Select all

var o = Server.CreateObject("GflAx.GflAx");
o.EnableLZW = true;
o.LoadBitmap(Server.MapPath("C:\\Temp\\transp.gif");
Response.Write(Boolean(o.UseTransparency) + " -- " + o.BackColor + " --" + o.MaskColor + "<br>");
o.UseTransparency = false;
o.BackColor = 16777215;
Response.Write(Boolean(o.UseTransparency) + " -- " + o.BackColor + " --" + o.MaskColor + "<br>");
o.SaveFormat = 1; // AX_JPEG
o.SaveFormatName = "jpeg";
o.SaveJPEGProgressive = true;
o.SaveJPEGQuality = 100;
o.SaveBitmap(Server.MapPath("C:\\Temp\\new.jpg"));
Executing the code I get the following output:
false -- 16777215 -- 16777215
false -- 16777215 -- 16777215

It looks like GflAx doesn't recognise the transparent GIF. The JPG file is saved with a black background. I doesn't matter if I set UseTransparency and BackColor or if I comment it out.

How exactly do I convert GIF to JPG with removal of transpareny and setting a white background?

Every hint appreciated!

If it possible to set the transparency color converting to JPG?
Is this syntax correct?

... -out jpeg -transpcolor 255 255 255 -keepcspace -q 100 ...
You can't change the transparency color when saving in jpeg

Hmm, is it possible then to open a GIF, set the background color to white and save it to GIF again, now without transparency?
From there I could convert it to JPG.

Is that possible? I don't know how to use UseTransparency, BackColor and MaskColor to achieve this.
