After getting fun with Coppermine Photo Gallery for some time, I wanted to achieve a polaroid-like effect (using ImageMagick) for thumbnails and intermediate pictures.
The final effect is visible in the picture below.

Open include/picmgmt.inc.php
file and search for the ImageMagick’s parameters, and just edit it similarly.
$rand_angle=rand(1,7); // get random angle $rand_sign=rand(0,1); // - + if ($rand_sign == 0) { $rand_angle = - $rand_angle; } $cmd = "{$CONFIG['impath']}convert -quality {$CONFIG['jpeg_qual']} {$CONFIG['im_options']} ".$resize_commands." ".$unsharp_mask." $src_file -bordercolor white -border 6 -bordercolor grey60 -border 1 -background none -rotate {$rand_angle} -background black \( +clone -shadow 60x4+4+4 \) +swap -background white -flatten $im_dest_file"; exec ($cmd, $output, $retval);
For more examples, look at the ImageMagick examples and rebuild your images.
