alpha blending

[arun_desh]

Hi,
Can we set aplha channel for an image opened through
ImageCreateFromJpeg or ImageCreateFrompng in GD?

I want to create a mask file and then composite it
with jpeg or png image so that I can obtain blending
at required places.

How to do it ?

Look at the PECL extension that uses ImageMagick, it provides some image manipulation capabilties, including morphing:
