Java and GraphicsMagick -- Will it work?

I am considering using GraphicsMagick (http://www.graphicsmagick.org/) in a Java project. Does anyone have any experience with this? Suggestions on how to get started? It seems like there isn't a native Java library so it may be a little more difficult. Thanks! ...

How can I know the jpeg quality of the read image using graphicsmagick

when i read a jpeg image using Magick::readImages(...) function. how can i know the estimated jpeg quality of the image ? i know how to set the quality when i wanna write the image, but it is not relevant to the quality of the original image, so for example: when I read an jpeg image that its quality is 80% and I write it using 90% quali...

Adding GraphicsMagick to an Xcode project

Hi, I have created a Foundation Tool in Xcode, and want to use some functions from the GraphicsMagick image manipulation library. The library has been compiled and installed on my computer using MacPorts. I added libGraphicsMagick.3.dylib and libGraphicsMagickWand.2.dylib to my project as external frameworks. What other steps must I ta...

How do I get Graphicsmagick's -output-directory option to work if I have no control over the working directory?

Ok, this is somewhat special, but if I cannot find help here, where else should I look? Unfortunately, I am forced to use gm's COM+ API, so I can not set the working directory.

I've looked into ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick, but they are too heavy. This is something I want to distribute with my app, so the smaller the better. I don...

How to replicate iPhoto's "Enhance" action with ImageMagick tools?

I don't really know what iPhoto's Enhance actually do, so, I guess we could start by finding out exactly what it's doing. I'd wager some mix of auto-levels, sharpen, and color adjustment. I'd like to, then, do something as similar as possible with the ImageMagick shell tools, or, if need be, with some programming thrown in through a lib...

Most Efficient Way to Create Thumbnails?

I have a huge volume of thumbnailing to do. Currently, I am using ImageMagick, but it's proving too inefficient (it's too slow, uses too much CPU/memory, etc.). I have started to evaluate GraphicsMagick, which I expected to get "wow" results from. I didn't get them. Can someone take a quick look at my benchmark script (does simple speed...

PDF: How to Optimize Filesize & Convert to PNG (embedded fonts problem)
