Laid out my little Python module for image processing. I needed to process TIFs and other stuff. I wrote a small modulek on C. Modulek can do crop and resize, and also read 8bim profiles to get the Image Name and Caption fields from there, they can be written there for example iPhoto when exporting. It works quite quickly and handles well.
Based on ImageMagick. Novel there is a PIL you say, and you will be right, but the PIL refused to process some TIF for me. Just as it is known, there is pyMagick, but unfortunately it is more likely dead than alive, so I pushed to write this module. In general, who wants to juzat. Waiting for feedback, even if I need someone other than me to share this;)
Oh yes, I almost forgot, here is the link
