mimage

Overiew

mimage is a native go package for handling image meta information (exif, iptc, xmp) as well as some basic image manipulation (resizing, thumbnail creation, etc)

mimage is used by mphotos and is not at this time intended to be a general purpose package - it lacks proper testing and functionality.

Why?

mphotos has relied on two libraries/tools for image manipulation and meta data extraction: bimg and exiftool. Both of these are excellent tools but made the compile/deployment process more complicated as bimg relies on libvips and exiftool is an external program that needs to be installed. In effect making mphotos slighly less portable.

mimage seeks to remedy this by offering similar functionality using only go native code
