| ImageMagick distribution. |
| |
| We acknowledge the substantial contributions to the ImageMagick project by |
| these gifted individuals (listed in alphabetical order): |
| |
| Kelly Bergougnoux |
| Authored the Cineon image coder (based on the existing DPX source). |
| |
| Rod Bogart and John W. Peterson, University of Utah |
| Image compositing is loosely based on rlecomp of the Utah Raster Toolkit. |
| |
| Nathan Brown |
| Original author of the JP2 coder. |
| |
| Mike Chiarappa |
| Created a Borland C++ Builder 6.0 build environment for ImageMagick. |
| |
| Thomas R Crimmins |
| Inventor of the eight hull algorithm used for speckle reduction. |
| |
| Troy Edwards |
| Authored the source RPM spec file for ImageMagick. |
| |
| Jaroslav Fojtik |
| Authored the CUT, ART, and MATLAB coder modules. |
| |
| Francis J. Franklin |
| Ported the WMF coder to the libwmf 0.2 API. |
| |
| Markus Friedl |
| Original author of Base64 encode/decode sources. |
| |
| Bob Friesenhahn |
| Author of Magick++ (C++ API to ImageMagick). Author of module loader |
| facility, automatic file identification (magic) support, Unix/Cygwin/MinGW |
| configure/make facility, Windows setup.exe style installer, WMF renderer, |
| C API documentation formatter, and the C, C++, and Perl test suites |
| used by ImageMagick. |
| |
| Michael Halle, Spatial Imaging Group at MIT |
| Contributed the initial implementation of Alan Paeth's image rotation |
| algorithm. |
| |
| David Harr |
| Contributed (with Leonard Rosenthol) dash pattern, linecap stroking |
| algorithm, and minor rendering improvements. |
| |
| Christopher R. Hawks |
| Authored the PALM coder. |
| |
| Paul Heckbert, Carnegie Mellon University |
| Image resizing is loosely based on Paul Heckbert's Zoom program. |
| |
| Peder Langlo, Hewlett Packard |
| Made hundreds of suggestions and bug reports. Without Peder, this software |
| would not be nearly as useful as it is today. |
| |
| Dirk Lemstra |
| Contributed to Magick++ and the Windows distribution. |
| |
| Rick Mabry |
| Contributed code to support filling drawn objects using a pattern image |
| and major improvements to the web page (both content and appearance). |
| |
| Catalin Mihaila |
| Contributed a ZX-Spectrum SCREEN$ reader. |
| |
| David Pensak, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company |
| For providing the computing environment that made developing ImageMagick |
| possible. |
| |
| Chantal Racette, Laurentian University |
| Sped up Sinc and Blackman filter kernels. EWA resampling code |
| verification. |
| |
| William Radcliffe |
| Author of the VisualMagick project configure facility for Visual C++. |
| Author of FlashPix module. Author of the EMF, XTRN, and META coders. |
| Significant contributions to the MSL, JPEG, TIFF, SVG, and URL coders. |
| Authored "process" module support. Wrote the micro-timer facility used by |
| 'identify'. Ported module loader support to Windows. Significantly |
| improved polygon rendering performance. |
| |
| Glenn Randers-Pehrson |
| Contributed significantly to the utilities. Authored support for JNG, |
| MNG, and PNG formats. Provided significant support for the BMP format. |
| Significant improvements to the documentation, including creating a |
| documentation authoring environment based on the <imdoc> format. |
| |
| Paul Raveling, USC Information Sciences Institute |
| The spatial subdivision color reduction algorithm is based on his Img |
| software. |
| |
| Nicolas Robidoux, Laurentian University |
| New ellipse clamping method and vertical/horizontal line preserving |
| filters for EWA resampling. Sped up resampling filter kernels. |
| |
| Leonard Rosenthol |
| Authored the 'conjure' utility and associated MSL execution environment. |
| Provided MacOS support. Authored the CLIPBOARD, XCF, and PSD coders. |
| Postscript and PDF expertise. Significant drawing enhancements including |
| support for dash patterns, linecap stroking, clipping masks and a mask |
| image. |
| |
| Bastien ROUCARIÈS |
| Various patches from Debian downstream. |
| |
| Kyle Shorter |
| Original author of PerlMagick. Author of the LOCALE coder. |
| |
| Lars Ruben Skyum |
| Contributed the -clippath functionality, improved color profile support, |
| and re-wrote the PS3 coder. |
| |
| Alvy Ray Smith and Eric Ray Lyons |
| HWB color transform and algorithm. |
| |
| Michael Still and IBM developer Works |
| For the excellant article, "Graphics from the command line". First |
| published by IBM DeveloperWorks. |
| |
| Anthony Thyssen |
| Designed the ImageMagick 6.0 command line processing with parenthesis, |
| image sequence operators, and GIF animation processing. Wrote the |
| image perspective distortions (-distort) and resampling methods. |
| Maintains a comprehensive set of examples of using ImageMagick at |
| http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/. |
| |
| Milan Votava |
| Contributed support for Wireless BitMap, used in WAP - Wireless Access |
| Protocol. |
