ImageMagick Studio LLC announces the release of ImageMagick 6.5.0-5.
This release focuses on bug fixes. To download ImageMagick, go to
http://www.imagemagick.org.
ImageMagick is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images.
It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (over 100)
including DPX, EXR, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PDF, PhotoCD, PNG, Postscript, SVG,
and TIFF. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear
and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects,
or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves.
The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line
or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite programming
language. Choose from these interfaces: G2F (Ada), MagickCore (C), MagickWand
(C), ChMagick (Ch), ImageMagickObject (COM+), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java),
L-Magick (Lisp), NMagick (Neko/haXe), MagickNet (.NET), PascalMagick (Pascal),
PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), IMagick (PHP), PythonMagick
(Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a language interface,
use ImageMagick to modify or create images dynamically and automagically.
ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution
or as source code that you may freely use, copy, modify, and distribute. Its
license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems.
Features and Capabilities
Here are just a few examples of what ImageMagick can do:
* Format conversion: convert an image from one format to another (e.g. PNG
to JPEG)
* Transform: resize, rotate, crop, flip or trim an image
* Transparency: render portions of an image invisible
* Draw: add shapes or text to an image
* Decorate: add a border or frame to an image
* Special effects: blur, sharpen, threshold, or tint an image
* Animation: create a GIF animation sequence from a group of images
* Text & comments: insert descriptive or artistic text in an image
* Image identification: describe the format and properties of an image
* Composite: overlap one image over another
* Montage: juxtapose image thumbnails on an image canvas
* Motion picture support: read and write the common image formats used in
digital film work
* Image calculator: apply a mathematical expression to an image or image
channels
* High dynamic-range images: accurately represent the wide range of
intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from the brightest direct
sunlight to the deepest darkest shadows
* Virtual pixel support: convenient access to pixels outside the image
region
* Large image support: read, process, or write mega- and giga-pixel image
sizes
* Encipher or decipher an image: convert ordinary images into
unintelligible gibberish and back again
* Threads of execution support: ImageMagick is thread safe and most
internal algorithms are OpenMP-enabled to take advantage of speed-ups
offered by the dual and quad-core processor technologies
Examples of ImageMagick Usage, http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/,
shows how to use ImageMagick from the command-line to accomplish any
of these tasks and much more. Also, see Fred's ImageMagick Scripts,
http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/, a plethora of command-line scripts
that perform geometric transforms, blurs, sharpens, edging, noise removal,
and color manipulations.
