SImple solution to Codeigniter image class? - codeigniter

Question

I have some messy code, even i use SimpleImage, i know i can use CodeIgniter image class, but config is little big, can someone post a little elegant and better solution, this is my code for now, i want to get rid of SimpleImage, and image class is initialized in controller.Here is what i have:
// Main config
$config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
$config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;
$config['height'] = '1';
$config['master_dim'] = 'width';
$config['overwrite'] = TRUE;
// Resize image with SimpleImage
$novaslika="img/proizvodi/".$last.".jpg";
$image = new SimpleImage();
$image->load($_FILES['slika']['tmp_name']);
$image->resizeToWidth(800);
$image->save($novaslika);
// Create PNG
$config['source_image'] = $_FILES['maska']['tmp_name'];
$config['width'] = 800;
$config['new_image'] = "./img/proizvodi/".$last."_maska.png";
$this->image_lib->initialize($config);
$this->image_lib->resize();
// Create thumb
$config['source_image'] = './img/proizvodi/'.$last.'.jpg';
$config['create_thumb'] = TRUE;
$config['new_image'] = './img/proizvodi/thumbs/'.$last.'_thumb.jpg';
$this->image_lib->initialize($config);
$this->image_lib->resize();

You can do something like this:
function index()
{
$this->load->library('image_lib');
$a = array(
'source_image' => 'images/1.jpg',
'width' => 100,
'height' => 100,
'new_image' => 'images/2.jpg',
'create_thumb' => TRUE,
'overwrite' => FALSE
);
$image = $this->_image_manipulation($a);
if($image === TRUE)
{
echo "IMAGE OK";
}
else
{
echo $image;
}
}
private function _image_manipulation($configs = '')
{
if($configs)
{
$config['image_library'] = 'gd2'; //static
$config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE; //static
$config['master_dim'] = 'width'; //static
$config['source_image'] = $configs['source_image'];//required
$config['height'] = (isset($configs['height']))?$configs['height']:NULL;
$config['width'] = (isset($configs['width']))?$configs['width']:NULL;
$config['overwrite'] = (isset($configs['overwrite']))?$configs['overwrite']:NULL;
$config['new_image'] = (isset($configs['new_image']))?$configs['new_image']:NULL;
$config['create_thumb'] = (isset($configs['create_thumb']))?$configs['create_thumb']:NULL;
$this->image_lib->initialize($config);
if ( ! $this->image_lib->resize())
{
return $this->image_lib->display_errors();
}
else
{
return TRUE;
}
}
}
But will still need the SimpleImage library to convert to png's UNLESS, and I can't confirm, SimpleImage is using ImageMagick. If it is, that means it's installed on the system and you can change
$config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
to
$config['image_library'] = 'ImageMagick';
and CodeIgniter will handle the image conversion for you too; all you need to do is rename the file:
$a = array(
'source_image' => 'images/1.jpg',
'new_image' => 'images/1.png',
);
