What are some common mistakes when copying individual color pixels from an image using PHP?

One common mistake when copying individual color pixels from an image using PHP is not properly handling the alpha channel (transparency) of the pixels. This can result in unexpected color blending or incorrect pixel values. To solve this issue, make sure to use the `imagecolorat()` function to get the color of a pixel including its alpha channel value. 

// Get the color of a pixel including alpha channel value
$color = imagecolorat($image, $x, $y);
// Extract the individual color components
$red = ($color >> 16) & 0xFF;
$green = ($color >> 8) & 0xFF;
$blue = $color & 0xFF;
$alpha = ($color & 0x7F000000) >> 24; // Alpha channel value
