$response = $this->getResponse(); $response->getHeaders() ->addHeaderLine('Content-Type', 'image/jpeg'); $viewModel = new ViewModel(); $viewModel->setTerminal(true); return $viewModel; — Yargicx, Jun 26 '14 at 22:25

imagejpeg outputs the data immediately which you don't want to do. You can either use the output buffer to capture this data or write it to a file first. The output buffer is probably easiest:

public function colorPaletteAction()
{
    // [create $canvas]

    ob_start();
    imagejpeg($canvas);
    $imageData = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();

    imagedestroy($canvas);

    $response = $this->getResponse();

    $response->getHeaders()->addHeaderLine('Content-Type', 'image/jpeg');
    $response->setContent($imageData);

    return $response;
}

If this doesn't work, temporarily comment out the Content-Type header line to see what output you're getting. Make sure there aren't any errors or HTML in the output.

it doesn't work.. i 'll do it with plain php not in zf2 – Yargicx Jun 27 '14 at 11:17 — Yargicx, Jun 27 '14 at 11:17

You set the Content-Type header to 'image/png' instead of 'image/jpeg'.

Also try adding the content-transfer-encoding and content-length headers:

$response->getHeaders()->addHeaderLine('Content-Transfer-Encoding', 'binary')
                       ->addHeaderLine('Content-Length', mb_strlen($yourJpegContent));

I also don't see you adding the actual content to the response:

$response->setContent($yourJpegContent);

where $yourJpegContent contains the binary image data.
