ImageMagick 6.5.4-5

ImageMagick 6.5.4-5 gives you an effective tool 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.

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. Discrete Fourier transform: implements the forward and inverse DFT.
15. 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
16. Encipher or decipher an image: convert ordinary images into unintelligible gibberish and back again
17. Virtual pixel support: convenient access to pixels outside the image region
18. Large image support: read, process, or write mega- and giga-pixel image sizes
19. 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
