Could someone recommend a good image file conversion/manipulation module? I'm having trouble finding one that actually works...
Here are my requirements:
*Must run under Mac OS X (10.3, but if it tested to earlier it should be fine.)
*Must handle the following image formats: TIFF, PNG.
*Must be able to handle alpha channels.
Would be nice to haves are: *Handle PDF, JPEG, GIF, PICT, BMP. *Can do affine transformations.
I've tried Imager (Mac does not compile to needed formats) Image::Imlib2 (Does not compile on Mac) and Image::Magick (Won't install on Mac.)
I'm currently using ImageMagick directly, but it won't handle TIFF files on Mac. If I can get something to convert them into something ImageMagick *can* handle then I can use it to do the rest. Something that can handle alpha channels in PDF files would be good too. (ImageMagick won't.)
Any ideas? I'm willing to do Mac-specific, if someone has a good way to access the QuickTime/Quartz API's through Perl.
(Oh, and Panther's 'sips' command-line program doesn't handle alpha channels.)
Any ideas?
