| | 29 | * Image Quality using PIL |
| | 30 | * PIL has some serious quality problems for 'professional quality' images |
| | 31 | * Metadata destruction issues with PIL (wiping IPTC data, ICC profiles, EXIF data for instance) |
| | 32 | * No Color Profile Support (or 'hard to deal with' Profile support) |
| | 33 | * PIL and Large Files (20 MB Tiffs for instance) in a Web Environment = Bad |
| | 34 | * Lots of Thumbs on a page (i.e. 20+) .. In memory constant converting not so good for server performance .. |
| | 35 | * file caching is a must |
| | 36 | * Advanced Sharpening/Contrast enhancements for very small thumbs |
| | 37 | * SOLUTION:: ImageMagick .. and 'convert' (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php) (PyMagick is really not suitable for most things) |
| | 38 | * Yes! Command line, but in a 'web' environ .. separate fork to deal with Memory and _large_ files |
| | 39 | * use of 'convert' should at least be a setting option for those that want quality |
