ImageMagick Studio LLC announces the release of ImageMagick
6.2.7. It is
currently mirroring and should be available world-wide
within 48 hours.
ImageMagick®, version 62.76, is a free software suite to
create, edit,
and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write
images in a
large variety of formats. Images can be cropped, colors can
be changed,
various effects can be applied, images can be rotated and
combined,
and text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves can
be added to
images and stretched and rotated.
ImageMagick is free software: it is delivered with full
source code and
can be freely used, copied, modified and distributed. Its
license is
compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating
systems.
Most of the functionality of ImageMagick can be used
interactively
from the command line; more often, however, the features are
used
from programs written in the programming languages C, Ch,
C++, Java,
Lisp, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Tcl/Tk, for which
ready-made
ImageMagick interfaces (MagickCore, MagickWand, PerlMagick,
Magick++,
PythonMagick, MagickWand for PHP, RMagick, TclMagick,
L_Magick, and
JMagick) are available. This makes it possible to modify or
create images
automatically and dynamically.
ImageMagick supports many image formats (over 90) including
formats like
GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, TIFF, and DPX.
Here are just a few examples of what ImageMagick can do:
* Convert an image from one format to another (e.g. PNG
to JPEG)
* Resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or add special
effects to an
image
* Create a montage of image thumbnails
* Create a transparent image suitable for use on the Web
* Turn a group of images into a GIF animation sequence
* Create a composite image by combining several separate
image
* Draw shapes or text on an image
* Decorate an image with a border or frame
* Describe the format and characteristics of an image
