Imaging is in quite a sad state compared to javax.imageio, with very limited JPEG support that is hard to improve without major research, and doesn't add that much value. People seem to mostly use it for extracting image metadata.
I would like to see most of the following in 1.0: * Proper support for multi-image formats, where you can see individual properties for each image * Thumbnail support for image formats that support it * Support for incremental loading of image formats like progressive JPEG * Non-blocking I/O * Random access file I/O * Support for enormous images, too big to fit in memory, by processing them line-by-line or tile-by-tile * Independence from java.awt, and Android support * Imaging as a javax.imageio extension that provides the JVM with support for new image formats Damjan On Wed, May 17, 2017 at 11:22 PM, Benedikt Ritter <brit...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi, > > Imaging's inception year is 2007.
