- jandrese 10y agoIt's weird. I had to do commandline image manipulation in big batches several years ago. There were two options, netpbm and ImageMagick. I ended up using netpbm (and it's still my preferred solution) after ImageMagick proved to be buggy and much much slower. It always surprised me that people flocked to ImageMagick after that. I'm completely unsurprised about these bugs given the number of serious problems I ran into. Granted, that was something like 17 years ago, but these veteran projects have a tendency to hang around on life support for decades. Projects that are huge messes don't generally get cleaned up without massive outside pressure (see: openssl).
- hueving 10y ago>It always surprised me that people flocked to ImageMagick after that. It's an SEO thing. Searching "resize image" would almost always lead to ImageMagick examples that would work well enough to not require looking elsewhere. Almost every time I've used it, it's been for a few simple image operations (downsize, rotate, etc) that happen once on a user upload of a tiny site so performance wasn't a concern.
