quartz coreimage command line tool

20th June 2005, 04:21 pm

ok, it’s not quartz or coreimage, but if you’re looking for a command line image manipulation tool for mac os x, you’re probably looking for “SIPS” - scriptable image processing system.

Ok, so, why? my favorite lazy gallery software PHPix3 is really just killing me with the PHP internal GD thumbnail generation time. I’m thinking it’s about time to take advantage of the internal tool available to me since I’m rockin’ tiger server. So, I’m thinking all I need to do is go locate the code the determines whether the image tool the scripts use is “int” or “ext” and maybe add another piece of logic to act on “sips” as the value. Hopefully it will run faster than GD. If not, I guess I can go back to ImageMagick. Although it would be nicer if apple’s command line tool were fastest… we shall seeeee…
