PIL and ImageMagick scalability

Hi everyone!

I have a question about image processing. We have a website which will
process a lot of images a day.It will be running Apache(worker) with
mod_python. My question is what should we use for processing. If we
use PIL the processing will be done with the same process that handles
other requests and that will probably slow them down when there will
be a peak. If we use ImageMagick you create new process that does the
image processing which probably uses multiple CPUs better and is more
scalable, right?

Thanks, Sebastjan

Can someone give me a quick one or two liner script that...

Hi all. I'm creating a web-based application that uses PHP, MySQL & Apache on a Windows platform. What I need to do is create images on the fly with either GD or ImageMagick, display them on the web browser and then save the file. The tricky part is the format of that saved file - it needs to be an EPS format. The image won't be anything terribly exciting - just some basic shapes (boxes, circles, etc) and some text. No fancy colors,...

I am trying to use ImageMagick from a Php script running under Windows XP. I have installed the latest version of ImageMagick - 6.2.1-7 and even tried backing up to version 5.5.7 (based on a recommendation I found during a Google search), but I can not get ImageMagick to work in Php (using exec or system). ImageMagick works from a Windows Command prompt - e.g., convert C:\apache\htdocs\testing\temp_.jpg

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
