Overview

DIMS is a webservice that allows for dynamic image manipulation. It allows for easy image resizing and thumbnail generation directly in HTML pages, eliminating the need to pre-compute different image sizes and store their locations for use on a page.

Features

• Faster and smaller byte size thumbnail generation.
• Overall performance improvements.
• Extended API (and more modular for future additions).
• Ability to reference files locally as well as remotely.
• Ability to specify order of operations.
• More advanced geometry specification.
• Crop operation now accepts x, y offsets.
• Improved timeout resolution (now on both downloads and imagemagick operations).
• Improved resource constraints. (can set max memory imagemagick will use).
• Improved log messages.
• Cache header forwarding from source image.

Dependencies

ImageMagick 6.6.x: This is the engine used for image manipulation.
libcurl 7.18.x: This is used to fetch remote images.
