| 32 | Original author of Base64 encode/decode sources. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Bob Friesenhahn |
| 35 | Author of Magick++ (C++ API to ImageMagick). Author of module loader |
| 36 | facility, automatic file identification (magic) support, Unix/Cygwin/MinGW |
| 37 | configure/make facility, Windows setup.exe style installer, WMF renderer, |
| 38 | C API documentation formatter, and the C, C++, and Perl test suites |
| 39 | used by ImageMagick. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Michael Halle, Spatial Imaging Group at MIT |
| 42 | Contributed the initial implementation of Alan Paeth's image rotation |
| 43 | algorithm. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | David Harr |

| 47 | algorithm, and minor rendering improvements. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | Christopher R. Hawks |
| 50 | Authored the PALM coder. |
| 51 | |

| 53 | Image resizing is loosely based on Paul Heckbert's Zoom program. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | Peder Langlo, Hewlett Packard |
| 56 | Made hundreds of suggestions and bug reports. Without Peder, this software |
| 57 | would not be nearly as useful as it is today. |
| 58 | |
| 59 | Rick Mabry |

| 79 | Contributed significantly to the utilities. Authored support for JNG, |
| 80 | MNG, and PNG formats. Provided significant support for the BMP format. |
| 81 | Significant improvements to the documentation, including creating a |
| 82 | documentation authoring environment based on the <imdoc> format. |
| 83 | |
| 84 | Paul Raveling, USC Information Sciences Institute |
| 85 | The spatial subdivision color reduction algorithm is based on his Img |
| 86 | software. |
| 87 | |
| 88 | Leonard Rosenthol |
| 89 | Authored the 'conjure' utility and associated MSL execution environment. |
| 90 | Provided MacOS support. Authored the CLIPBOARD, XCF, and PSD coders. |
| 91 | Postscript and PDF expertise. Significant drawing enhancements including |
| 92 | support for dash patterns, linecap stroking, clipping masks and a mask |
| 93 | image. |
| 94 | |
