Description:
------------
I'm using imagecreatefromjpeg to create an image from a source. Then I'm using imagewbmp to save it as .wbmp.

The image saved is 98% white with a small portion black.

Test script:
---------------
$image_object = imagecreatefromjpeg('http://i.pinimg.com/originals/5b/97/49/5b9749c4db7066138b085b28a229801f.jpg');

imagewbmp($image_object, 'new_image.wbmp');

Expected result:
----------------
A black and white image.

Actual result:
--------------
I see an image allmost white...

WBMPs only do black and white.

Have you tested the code ?

Here is the original image: https://ibb.co/WyRngKD
Here is the result: https://easyupload.io/9r4ka6

Is that ok ?

WBMPs. Are. Only. Black. And. White.

Most of your source image is light colored. It will be translated into white. The small portions that are dark will be translated into black.

If I load your source image into GIMP and have it convert the image to monochrome, which it does so in a smart way using dithering that GD cannot do, then save and convert with PHP, I get

imagewbmp() only considers pixels with exactly $foreground color
to be foreground; all other color values are considered
background.  So just feeding in an arbitrary JPEG is not supposed
to work.  Instead, convert the JPEG to a palette image with only 2
colors, and then set $foreground to be either color no. 0 or 1.

<?php
$im = imagecreatefromjpeg(__DIR__ . '/79622.jpg');
imagetruecolortopalette($im, true, 2);
imagewbmp($im, __DIR__ . '/79622.wbmp', 0);
?>

The script above uses dithering with a result roughly similar to
what @requinix posted above.  Dithering is not strictly necessary,
though.
