Thumbs up for VIPS, used it 4-5 years ago, for building a system which processed high resolution images. Its fast, lean and an amazing piece of software.

I'm replying here to let Melraidin (who posted a sibling comment) know that their account is dead, for reasons I can't understand since their comments seem helpful.

Totally agree, I've used it for some projects as well. The only thing I wasn't able to grok (which still kills me to this day), was that I couldn't get it to handle EPS files correctly. If anybody has done that with VIPS/IM, I would love to hear about it.

Performace is the reason why we switched from ImageMagick
