Lars Ruben Skyum

Contributed the -clippath functionality, added -define support, improved color profile support, and re-wrote the PS3 coder.

Rolf Schroedter

Principal author of TclMagick.

David N. Welton

Co-author of TclMagick, particularly in the Unix environment.

Mark Mitchell

Contributed a new design for the web pages, including the formatting scripts, and converted many pages to the new format.

Richard Nolde

Contributed code for converting between native floating point types, and short (16/24) bit float types.

Clément Follet

Contributed Hald CLUT and ASC-CDL implementations.

John Sergeant

Re-wrote the HP PCL writer to work much better, including support for compression. Implemented support for CALS type 1 format. Re-wrote the DICOM reader.

Roberto de Deus Barbosa Murta

Contributed the adaptive threshold implementation (-lat), which executes in linear rather than quadratic time.

Other Contributors (via ImageMagick)

Kelly Bergougnoux

Authored the initial Cineon coder (which has since been replaced).

Christopher R. Hawks

Authored the PALM coder.

Francis J. Franklin

Ported the WMF coder to the libwmf 0.2 API.

Rick Mabry

Contributed code to support filling drawn objects using a pattern image.

Nathan Brown

Original author of the JP2 coder.

Kyle Shorter

Original author of PerlMagick. Original author of the LOCALE coder.

Markus Friedl

Original author of Base64 encode/decode sources.

David Harr

Contributed (with Leonard Rosenthol) dash pattern, linecap stroking algorithm, and minor rendering improvements.

Troy Edwards

Authored the source RPM spec file for GraphicsMagick.

Milan Votava

Contributed support for Wireless BitMap, used in WAP - Wireless Access Protocol.

Mike Edmonds

Contributed the median filter algorithm.

Additional Acknowledgements

David Pensak, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company

For providing the computing environment that made developing ImageMagick possible.

Alexander Zimmermann

Responsible for the ImageMagick Linux binary distributions for many years. His efforts are very much appreciated.

Paul Heckbert, Carnegie Mellon University

Image resizing is based on Paul Heckbert's Zoom program.

Paul Raveling, USC Information Sciences Institute

The spatial subdivision color reduction algorithm is based on his Img software.

Michael Halle, Spatial Imaging Group at MIT

For the initial implementation of Alan Paeth's image rotation algorithm.

Peder Langlo, Hewlett Packard

Made hundreds of suggestions and bug reports. Without Peder, this software would not be nearly as useful as it is today.

Rod Bogart and John W. Peterson, University of Utah

Image compositing is loosely based on rlecomp of the Utah Raster Toolkit.

Alvy Ray Smith and Eric Ray Lyons
