php image manipulation

i was wondering, how would i make a transparent hole or section in an exsisting image using php?

i know i’ll have to save the image as a png, but that’s about all i know. my main goal is to add transparent rounded corners to the image.

thanksrotfl!

never mind, i found my solution at… Thumbnails – IM v6 Examples

it’s really easy man! you can easily change the opacity of image!
also you can embed java in your php code and use ajax features :wink:
