About this title

Synopsis

Supporting over 90 image formats, and capable of resizing, cropping, and converting between image types, the ImageMagick image manipulation suite is capable of serving an increasingly demanding role in an era where digital imaging and photography is more prevalent than ever. An open source project backed by six years of continued development, ImageMagick can perform an impressive array of operations, such as creating images from scratch, changing colors, stretching, rotating, overlaying images on one another, and overlaying text on images

The Definitive Guide to ImageMagick details all of these capabilities (and more) in a practical, learn by example fashion. After reading this book, you will be comfortable using ImageMagick for any image-processing task. Also, with its coverage of the ImageMagick interfaces for C, Perl, PHP, and Ruby, you will learn how to incorporate ImageMagick features into a variety of applications.
