I am a novice and I want to know a good easy C++ image processing library to use. I am going to work with PNG and JPG, and dont really know how an image processing library will work with libpng and libjpg, but I am hoping I dont have to worry about that. I want something that will handle compositing and alpha channels in PNG with easy functions. Is imagemagick the answer...?
I need a C++ Image Library. I need compatibility w/ Visual C++ %26amp; gcc, a compositing function, and good docs.?
Well, it depends on what you're planning to do. I've done some direct pixel access work (simple convolution filters) and I worked with my own routines (for Windows bitmaps) and also with the Allegro (a game programming library, more info at http://alleg.sourceforge.net ), but didn't work with PNGs nor JPGs.
Sometime ago I found about DevIL (formerly OpenIL) and I guess (I've been told so) it's a good option for image manipulation, though I 'm not really sure if this is what you're looking for. You can find more information about this library at: http://openil.sourceforge.net/
Best wishes,
JJ Enríquez.
Reply:As far as good and easy, that is a judgement you'll have to make for yourself. Every programmer has favorite libraries to work with, based on experience and task. To get a feel for what is out there, try out the URL below. They have a collection of free libraries for almost every task, as well as many tutorials, reviews, articles and other free programming tools.
