Thankyou Ashley, as I only need 5 colors for each image, my idea was to create a single pixel image for each color and save it on the hd (so that i don't have to create it every time). I've finally used this code: imagecopymerge($base, $img1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 100, 500, 75); imagecopymerge($base, $img2, 100, 0, 1, 1, 100, 500, 75); imagecopymerge($base, $img3, 200, 0, 1, 1, 100, 500, 75); imagecopymerge($base, $img4, 300, 0, 1, 1, 100, 500, 75); imagecopymerge($base, $img5, 400, 0, 1, 1, 100, 500, 75); ($imgX are 1*1 images. I have a function that checks if they exists) You can see the output here: http://aagmns47.facebook.joyent.us/sdna/. I think that copying a 1*1 image (and as said i'll cache all 1*1 colors on the hd) on a background is less resource-expensive than creating a coloured rectangle every time, isn't it?
