With respect to the Zope Photo product, thank all of you for your suggestions and bug reports. All of your suggestions, including customizable default displays, are now part of the Photo and ZPhotoAlbum product. You can find the latest beta version at http://www.zope.org/Member/Drew/Photo. Also, I now have ZPhotoAlbum working on a production site. http://www.jpdesserts.com. As always, I welcome your further suggestions. Just before this last release, I did some experimentation with PIL vs. other open source image manipulation tools. PIL seems to have two negative effects when resizing. First, moire artifacts are subtle, but apparent. Second, the scan that PIL does introduces some blur, as do all scaling tools, but PIL does a lackluster job of applying a sharpening filter after a resize. The net effect is that images resized by the Photo product are not nearly as good as those done by Imagemagick. Additionally, Imagemagick has several features that would be nice to include with Photo, but would not be available with PIL. Foremost is support for FlashPix, which several of you have requested. The downside is that Imagemagick is slower. Interfacing with Imagemagick would be done through the command line, so the PIL libraries would not be needed by Photo, but the Imagemagick "convert" program would have to be available in the path of the user that runs Zope. The swig and native python interfaces to Imagemagick are a bit immature, and we really only need image manipulation during upload, so the command line interface won't have too much downside. Moreover, I think Photo would be easier to install, because the broken product syndrome that comes with installing PIL would not occur. That is a good summary of the issues. Before converting Photo over to Imagemagick, I want to get your input. I see much more positive than negative, but I want to be sure that I have the whole picture. The upside of all of this is that I now know more about online digital imagery than I ever wanted to know. I want to put the ZPhotoAlbum product behind me, but I also want the highest quality for my websites. Your opinion really matters, so please take a minute and send me your impressions. Thanks for your support. "Drew" andrew@apl-software.com
