Thumbs up for VIPS, used it 4-5 years ago, for building a system which processed high resolution images. Its fast, lean and an amazing piece of software.

- Melraidin 11y agoVIPS has been great to work with. The docs are generally very good and the performance has been great. The author (https://github.com/jcupitt/ https://github.com/jcupitt/) has always been responsive to issues and questions and seems to be constantly working on the project. My only, relatively minor quibble, is dev work happening on master, but when it's largely a one-man project who am I to judge. So far we haven't come across any problems that weren't either self-inflicted or already fixed in master.

- fotios 11y agoTotally agree, I've used it for some projects as well. The only thing I wasn't able to grok (which still kills me to this day), was that I couldn't get it to handle EPS files correctly. If anybody has done that with VIPS/IM, I would love to hear about it.
- Melraidin 11y agoVIPS should be able to open EPS files via libmagick but at least in my test I found that I ended up with just a black box. Maybe related to the below bug? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=170649 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=170649
