ltk19 Hi, I am installing new providence 1.7.17 and would like to know which plugin for processing images is better. I found that CA recommends users to use Gmagick which is a php extension. Since I am a Windows user and have difficulties to build Gmagick from source. I know that Imagick is another choice, may I know what is the difference between them? Which one is better? Many thanks.
sjenson Gmagick has worked better for processing colors when an image is being uploaded to the server; however, this detail might have changed over the years. If you go with Imagick and the images seem to be faded, then you might want to switch to Gmagick.
seth Gmagick is faster and requires less memory than Imagick. There were issues with Imagemagick and color management at one point that caused the issues sjenson referenced, but if you're running a recent version of ImageMagick that should not be an issue.
