12
13Nathan Brown
14 Original author of the JP2 coder.
15
16Mike Chiarappa
17 Created a Borland C++ Builder 6.0 build environment for ImageMagick.
18
19Thomas R Crimmins

31Markus Friedl
32 Original author of Base64 encode/decode sources.
33
34Bob 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
41Michael Halle, Spatial Imaging Group at MIT
42 Contributed the initial implementation of Alan Paeth's image rotation
43 algorithm.
44
45David Harr
46 Contributed (with Leonard Rosenthol) dash pattern, linecap stroking
47 algorithm, and minor rendering improvements.
48
49Christopher R. Hawks
50 Authored the PALM coder.
51
52Paul Heckbert, Carnegie Mellon University
53 Image resizing is loosely based on Paul Heckbert's Zoom program.
54
55Peder 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
59Rick Mabry
60 Contributed code to support filling drawn objects using a pattern image
61 and major improvements to the web page (both content and appearance).
62
63Catalin Mihaila
64 Contributed a ZX-Spectrum SCREEN$ reader.
65
66David Pensak, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
67 For providing the computing environment that made developing ImageMagick
68 possible.
