PHP Proteus Image Library
=========================

What it is
----------

[](#what-it-is)

A set of classes that can be used to manipulate images and cache the results. I tried to keep it pretty simple, so it only handles operations that I've found to be the most useful. Several image manipulation functions were omitted b/c they seem to be handled well with css.

I've got another repo that acts as a CDN, using these classes within a slim framework deployment.

What it does
------------

[](#what-it-does)

Here's a short list of things it can do:

- resize
- - force
- - fit
- - adaptive (if imagick)
- - crop
- crop
- sharpen (I've found sharpen necessary after reducing the size of jpegs)

Using this library
------------------

[](#using-this-library)

Simply clone using one of the following methods:

**SSH**

```
git clone git@github.com:wjbrown/php-proteus.git YourProjectName

```

**HTTPS**

```
git clone https://github.com/wjbrown/php-proteus.git YourProjectName

```

Then edit the composer.json file to set your own project meta information and define your dependencies as normal. A simple demo exists for reference.
