Description:
------------
When resizing an image filled with solid color using imagecopyresampled, a destination image is not filled with same solid color, but with noise of two colors. I was tried this with grayscale images. Second color in noise was exactly same as source color, but with RGB channels lowered by 1. When the source image was filled with color, which had RGB channels values equal to power of 2 (0,1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128) the noise disappears. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(1045,600);
$back = imagecolorallocate($im, 100, 100, 100);
imagefill($im, 0, 0, $back);
$im2 = imagecreatetruecolor(383,220);
imagecopyresampled($im2,$im,0,0,0,0,383,220,1045,600);
imagepng($im2);

Expected result:
----------------
PNG file filled with color 100,100,100(RGB)

Actual result:
--------------
PNG file filled with color noise of 100,100,100(RGB) and 99,99,99(RGB)

CopyResampled using floating points to calculate the destination color. It may result to rounding problem. However I cannot reproduce this problem on my development platforms (x86 32 and 64bit, amd 64).

What's your architecture?
 [2007-06-28 09:53 UTC] richard dot gavenda at rksting dot cz 
AMD 32, Windows XP, PHP 5.2.3 - bug present
x86 64, Centos 4, PHP 4.3.9 - bug present
x86 32, Fedora Core 5, PHP 5.1.6 - bug present

Source image 800x600 filled with RBG(127,127,127):
target image 800x600 - OK
http://81.200.49.53:25459/resample.php?w=800&h=600&c=127

target image 701x600 - vertical stripes
http://81.200.49.53:25459/resample.php?w=701&h=600&c=127

target image 800x501 - horizontal stripes
http://81.200.49.53:25459/resample.php?w=800&h=501&c=127

target image 701x501 - noise
http://81.200.49.53:25459/resample.php?w=701&h=501&c=127

"When is source image filled with RGB values equal to power of 2 (0,1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128) the noise disappears", this rule i can reproduce only on AMD 32 architecture. On other platform is noise present regardless of fill color.

It is what I said, a rounding issue. I'm not sure yet how to make it more portable.
 [2007-06-28 10:00 UTC] richard dot gavenda at rksting dot cz 
Position of horizontal and vertical stripes is different on different machines.
 [2007-06-28 10:08 UTC] pajoye@php.net 
"Position of horizontal and vertical stripes is different on different
machines."

Yes, it is the problem with floating points value when we need a constant and precise result on different architecture. See; http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html for a good explanation about this problem.

For example, your images has variation between 126 and 127 for a given channel. It may be only something like 126.49999 and 126.50000.

I don't think I can fix it easily for this implementation (bicubic interpolation using floating points implementation).

Future versions will have more filters and using less volatile precisions.
 [2007-06-28 10:12 UTC] richard dot gavenda at rksting dot cz 
So there must be some sort of bug in resampling algorithm. When i resizing bitmap filled with solid color in any bitmap editor, using any aproximation (linear, bicubic, etc.) I get an image filled with exactly same solid color.

With this issue I'm unable to reach one bit transparency of resized image.
 [2007-06-28 10:14 UTC] richard dot gavenda at rksting dot cz 
Ok, so let's close whis thread. I will wait for future versions :-)

Is there a solution now after two years?
 [2009-04-29 22:28 UTC] pajoye@php.net 
Please try using this CVS snapshot:

I've installed the latest snapshot. The problem is still absolutely the same. I have horizontal bands of color #fefefe on the picture with clear white background after resampling. They are visible only on high quality monitors for designers, but they are. It's a bug.

As a workaround I reversed all the colors with imagefilter() before and after calling imagecopyresampled. This seems to help for the white areas but would of course result in the same problem for black areas. However these are usually not as common.
