Currently, ImageScience is billed as a fast and easy thumbnailing tool.
Is there interest in making it more robust? I'm really interested in using
FreeImage's JPG "lossless" rotation transformations (see
FreeImage_JPEGTransform) and ImageScience would be a great place for it
considering that rotation fits fairly well under the thumbnailing umbrella.
I don't know C but I think I can follow the existing inline stuff well
enough to expose the rotation routines with a little help from a partner. It
would probably be easy to use the JPG transformations directly (just takes
an input file, an output file and one of the enumerated operations) but
would be nice to make it Rubyesque and handle other filetypes with
FreeImage's other rotation methods.
If you're interested, please contact me and maybe we can grab a drink and
extend ImageScience's capabilities. Or it could happen at the next hack
night. It's 7pm. maybe I could even make it to tonight's if I hurry.
Holla!
Dave
