Hi, me again! Does anyone have a good set of multipage TIFF images and/or JPEG
images with lots of different EXIF metadata? I need some test images for
MImage.
I'm on dialup so please don't attach anything without emailing me first to get
confirmation, tho... I may already have gotten what I need and I don't want
too many megabytes emails :P Certainly don't reply with any to the list,
email me in private ;-)
If anyone knows of a site with good image test suites that would be excellent
as well.
As for what I've been working on: bitmap support, shared image references, X11
RGB database support, and of course still on the encoders. I got XPM, PNM,
PNG, BMP, GIF (w/ animation), TIFF (multipage), XCF (with separate image
layers), and JPEG decoders finished. Still need to do a few more and finish
encoders for most formats except PNG. Of course Imagemagick is also supported
so there won't be a lack of format support, but I want to do as many native
ones as I can.
I probably won't put too much more time on this before releasing because while
the native encoders are good because they are more efficent than calling
ImageMagick the only real important ones are the ones that use MImage's
extended metadata handling: JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and XCF. The other ones can be
done after an alpha release. Imlib2 hardly has any native encoders.
Another thing I've noticed is recently Digikam has been getting lots of GPL
filters and I've seen a lot of places where I can optimize or utilize inline
asm with good results. After the initial release I'll probably do an
additional MImage GPL filter library for these effects. ImageMagick got some
newer ones such as Radial Blur as well, and these would go into the GPL
library because it's new wonky license. The GPL filter library can only be
used by GPL applications. The normal filters are BSD.
Thanks.
