[Zope] ANNOUNCE: Photo Product Update

[Peter Bengtsson]

Is this better than the old Photo product?
http://www.zope.org/Members/Drew/Photo

I'm on zope 2.4.x and the copying bug there is pretty scary.
Should I care to start using your product instead of Drews?

Some friendly advices appreciated,
Peter



> Hi all,
>
> After much discussion on images in Zope, I've just released a new version
of
> Photo at http://www.zope.org/Members/rbickers/Photo/.
>
> Photo now has support for ExtFile/Image so that rendered display sizes can
> be stored in the file system.  This keeps ZODB bloat to a minimum (for
those
> who care about that) and provides the possibility for serving the images
> outside of Zope (eg, via Apache).
>
> Also, you now have the option to use ImageMagick or PIL for resizing
images.
> ImageMagick is slower (much slower in my tests), but produces better
> results.  See http://www.bickersfamily.org/Photos/PILvsIM/ for a couple
> examples.
>
> This is still a development version, but it works for me.  If you used
Photo
> 0.8.0, see UPGRADE.txt for important info.
>
> You can report bugs and feature requests at
> http://sourceforge.net/projects/zopephoto/.
>
> Enjoy!
