ImageMagick 6.5.3-2

ImageMagick 6.5.3-2 is a professional 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 Bezier curves can be added to images and stretched and rotated.

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.

Major Features:

1. Format conversion: convert an image from one format  to another (e.g. PNG to JPEG)
2. Transform: resize, rotate, crop, flip or trim an image
3. Transparency: render portions of an image invisible
4. Draw: add shapes or text to an image
5. Decorate: add a border or frame to an image
6. Special effects: blur, sharpen, threshold, or tint an image
7. Animation: create a GIF animation sequence from a group of images
8. Text & comments: insert descriptive or artistic text in an image
9. Image identification: describe the format and properties of an image
10. Composite: overlap one image over another
11. Montage: juxtapose image thumbnails on an image canvas
12. Motion picture support: read and write the common image formats used in digital film work
13. Image calculator: apply a mathematical expression to an image or image channels
14. 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
15. Encipher or decipher an image: convert ordinary images into unintelligible gibberish and back again
16. Virtual pixel support: convenient access to pixels outside the image region
17. Large image support: read, process, or write mega- and giga-pixel image sizes
18. 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
