Resizing an index-paletted transparent PNG results in a black background

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I want to resize a png file in following code:
  Thumbnails.of(srcImg).size(width, height).toFile(optImg)

But all transparent background turns to black.
See the attach
What should I do?

thumbnailator-0.4.0 in sun/oracle jdk1.7

Thank you very much!

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

I was able to reproduce the issue you have encountered with Thumbnailator 0.4.2.

The root cause is that the original image is a image which is using an indexed 
palette with a specific color used for the transparent pixels. (Similar to how 
transparent GIFs work)

There is no workaround for this issue (as fixing this problem will require 
additional checks in the code), so there isn't anything that can be done at 
this moment.

If it is possible, if you can use a PNG image with an actual alpha 
(transparency) channel, then it should be able to keep the transparency 
correctly.

I would love to see this resolved since I can't control whether the source 
image has an alpha channel or not.

Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Use the following with your image to replace the Transparent Pixels with White 
color.  It worked perfectly with me.

if( buffered.getColorModel().getTransparency() != Transparency.OPAQUE) {
            int w = buffered.getWidth();
            int h = buffered.getHeight();
            image2 = new BufferedImage(w,h,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
            Graphics2D g = image2.createGraphics();
            g.setColor(Color.WHITE);
            g.fillRect(0,0,w,h);
            g.drawRenderedImage(buffered, null);
            g.dispose();
        }
Thanks..

This happens also with GIFs.

I have verified that the background will turn black for both PNG and GIF files 
(which have a transparent color set in their indexed pallete) using 
Thumbnailator 0.4.3 running Java 7.

I will increase the priority of this issue, as it appears to affect more users 
than I had initially expected.

I would like to thank everyone who has taken their time to provide input toward 
this issue.

Plz let the user choose what color to use as background when pngs with 
transparency are converted to jpg

I would also like to be able to choose what color is used to replace the 
transparency.

I have exactly the same problem. Do we have any update on this?

Hi guys,

is there any update on this? I ran into the same problem. Would also like to 
have an easy way to configure the resulting background color out of a 
transparent image.

HI

I just ran into this issue and cant seem to find a workaround. 

E.g if I have a PNG and do this 
File fn = new File("test.png") ;
File f = new File("test-small.png)" ;
int s = 300 ;
Thumbnails.of(fn).size(s, s).toFile(f);

The resultant file has a back background when displayed

Hello there,

Yes, I can confirm that the newly uploaded image also exhibits the same issue 
as the image originally attached to this issue. (The image of the star)

The issue with this new image (headset) is also the same as the original image 
(star) in that they are both index-paletted PNGs which specifies a specific 
color to be transparent.

Hi,
I'm developing an application where many users will be submitting a screenshot 
taken from their computer.  We are receiving a complaint that all screenshots 
taken from Mac saved as PNG files are resized with color distortion.  Is this 
the same problem reported on this issue?  Please see attached files for 
original file and thumbnail generated.  Is there any workaround or fix for this?
Thank you in advance.

I tried to resizing the image on Java 6 (Linux) with Thumbnailator 0.4.8, and 
was unable to reproduce the issue.

Which environment (OS, Java vendor/version) and version of Thumbnailator are 
you using?

Also, could you provide the code that is being used to invoke Thumbnailator?

The code doesn't need to be exact -- I would like to know what type of input 
(`BufferedImage`? `File`?) and output (`BufferedImage`? `File`?) you are 
working with.

This issue is also affecting me!
A fix would be appreciated
