4We acknowledge the substantial contributions to the ImageMagick project by
5these gifted individuals (listed in alphabetical order):
6
7Kelly Bergougnoux
8     Authored the Cineon image coder (based on the existing DPX source).
9
10Rod Bogart and John W. Peterson, University of Utah
11     Image compositing is loosely based on rlecomp of the Utah Raster Toolkit.
12
13Nathan Brown
14     Original author of the JP2 coder.
15
16Mike Chiarappa
17     Created a Borland C++ Builder 6.0 build environment for ImageMagick.
18
19Thomas R Crimmins
20     Inventor of the eight hull algorithm used for speckle reduction.
21
22Troy Edwards
23     Authored the source RPM spec file for ImageMagick.
24
25Jaroslav Fojtik
26     Authored the CUT, ART, and MATLAB coder modules.
27
28Francis J. Franklin
29     Ported the WMF coder to the libwmf 0.2 API.
30
31Markus Friedl
32     Original author of Base64 encode/decode sources.
33
34Bob Friesenhahn
35     Author of Magick++ (C++ API to ImageMagick).  Author of module loader
36     facility, automatic file identification (magic) support, Unix/Cygwin/MinGW
37     configure/make facility, Windows setup.exe style installer, WMF renderer,
38     C API documentation formatter, and the C, C++, and Perl test suites
39     used by ImageMagick.
40
41Michael Halle, Spatial Imaging Group at MIT
42     Contributed the initial implementation of Alan Paeth's image rotation
43     algorithm.
44
45David Harr
46     Contributed (with Leonard Rosenthol) dash pattern, linecap stroking
47     algorithm, and minor rendering improvements.
48
49Christopher R. Hawks
50     Authored the PALM coder.
51
52Paul Heckbert, Carnegie Mellon University
53     Image resizing is loosely based on Paul Heckbert's Zoom program.
54
55Peder Langlo, Hewlett Packard
56     Made hundreds of suggestions and bug reports. Without Peder, this software
57     would not be nearly as useful as it is today.
58
59Rick Mabry
60     Contributed code to support filling drawn objects using a pattern image
61     and major improvements to the web page (both content and appearance).
62
63Catalin Mihaila
64     Contributed a ZX-Spectrum SCREEN$ reader.
65
66David Pensak, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
67     For providing the computing environment that made developing ImageMagick
68     possible.
69
70William Radcliffe
71     Author of the VisualMagick project configure facility for Visual C++.
72     Author of FlashPix module. Author of the EMF, XTRN, and META coders.
73     Significant contributions to the MSL, JPEG, TIFF, SVG, and URL coders.
74     Authored "process" module support. Wrote the micro-timer facility used by
75     'identify'. Ported module loader support to Windows. Significantly
76     improved polygon rendering performance.
77
78Glenn Randers-Pehrson
79     Contributed significantly to the utilities.  Authored support for JNG,
80     MNG, and PNG formats. Provided significant support for the BMP format.
81     Significant improvements to the documentation, including creating a
82     documentation authoring environment based on the <imdoc> format.
83
84Paul Raveling, USC Information Sciences Institute
85     The spatial subdivision color reduction algorithm is based on his Img
86     software.
87
88Leonard Rosenthol
89     Authored the 'conjure' utility and associated MSL execution environment.
90     Provided MacOS support. Authored the CLIPBOARD, XCF, and PSD coders.
91     Postscript and PDF expertise. Significant drawing enhancements including
92     support for dash patterns, linecap stroking, clipping masks and a mask
93     image.
94
95Kyle Shorter
96     Original author of PerlMagick.  Author of the LOCALE coder.
97
98Lars Ruben Skyum
99     Contributed the -clippath functionality, improved color profile support,
100     and re-wrote the PS3 coder.
101
102Alvy Ray Smith and Eric Ray Lyons
103     HWB color transform and algorithm.
104
105Michael Still and IBM developer Works
106     For the excellant article, "Graphics from the command line".  First
107     published by IBM DeveloperWorks.
108
109Anthony Thyssen
110     Designed the ImageMagick 6.0 command line processing with parenthesis,
111     image sequence operators, and GIF animation processing.  Wrote the
112     image perspective distortions (-distort) and resampling methods.
113     Maintains a comprehensive set of examples of using ImageMagick at
114     http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/.
