Re: Cannot Set Image Pixel to a Random Colour using GD

Handwavy (early and my morning caffeine hasn't kicked in) but if you're trying to uniformly desaturate all colors what I'd do would be to walk the pallet instead (not swapping the image to true color of course):

Get the total number of pallet entries
For each index 0..$num_colors
- Fetch the rgb for the index
- colorDeallocate that index
- Compute your new desaturated color and then colorAllocate it back (which should (?) put it back in the recently freed index)

The cake is a lie.

An interesting, probably slicker approach... but I wonder if there may be something like a 'refresh' of the palette required? As it stands, I don't think I'm dealing with a 'palette-ed' image here:- `c:\> ffprobe -hide_banner ruddy.png Input #0, png_pipe, from 'ruddy.png': Duration: N/A, bitrate: N/A Stream #0:0: Video: png, rgb24(pc), 320x234, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 25 tbn c:\> mediainfo ruddy.png General Complete name : ruddy.png Format : PNG Format/Info : Portable Network Graphic File size : 84.9 KiB Image Format : PNG Format/Info : Portable Network Graphic Width : 320 pixels Height : 234 pixels Bit depth : 24 bits Compression mode : Lossless Stream size : 84.9 KiB (100%)` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
