-1. clearly defined; distinct: a sharp photographic image. 
+The typical use case for this high speed Node.js module is to convert large images of many formats to smaller, web-friendly JPEG, PNG and WebP images of varying dimensions.
-2. quick, brisk, or spirited. 
-3. shrewd or astute: a sharp bargainer. 
-4. (Informal.) very stylish: a sharp dresser; a sharp jacket. 
 
-The typical use case for this high speed Node.js module is to convert large JPEG, PNG, WebP and TIFF images to smaller images of varying dimensions.
+The performance of JPEG resizing is typically 8x faster than ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick, based mainly on the number of CPU cores available. Everything remains non-blocking thanks to _libuv_.
 
-The performance of JPEG resizing is typically 15x-25x faster than ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick, based mainly on the number of CPU cores available.
+This module supports reading and writing images of JPEG, PNG and WebP to and from both Buffer objects and the filesystem. It also supports reading images of many other types from the filesystem via libmagick++ or libgraphicsmagick++ if present.
 
-This module supports reading and writing images to and from both the filesystem and Buffer objects (TIFF is limited to filesystem only). Everything remains non-blocking thanks to _libuv_.
+When generating JPEG output all metadata is removed and Huffman tables optimised without having to use separate command line tools like [jpegoptim](https://github.com/tjko/jpegoptim) and [jpegtran](http://jpegclub.org/jpegtran/).
 
-Under the hood you'll find the blazingly fast [libvips](https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips) image processing library, originally created in 1989 at Birkbeck College and currently maintained by John Cupitt.
+Anyone who has used the Node.js bindings for [GraphicsMagick](https://github.com/aheckmann/gm) will find the API similarly fluent.
 
-## Prerequisites
+This module is powered by the blazingly fast [libvips](https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips) image processing library, originally created in 1989 at Birkbeck College and currently maintained by John Cupitt.
 
-* Node.js v0.8+
+## Installation
-* [libvips](https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips) v7.38+
-
-For the sharpest results, please compile libvips from source.
-
-## Install
 
 	npm install sharp
 
-## Usage
+### Prerequisites
 
-	var sharp = require("sharp");
+* Node.js v0.10+
+* [libvips](https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips) v7.38.5+
 
-### resize(input, output, width, height, [options], callback)
+### Install libvips on Mac OS
 
-Scale and crop to `width` x `height` calling `callback` when complete.
+	brew install homebrew/science/vips --with-webp --with-graphicsmagick
 
-`input` can either be a filename String or a Buffer.
+The _gettext_ dependency of _libvips_ [can lead](https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues/9) to a `library not found for -lintl` error. If so, please try:
 
-`output` can either be a filename String or one of `sharp.buffer.jpeg`, `sharp.buffer.png` or `sharp.buffer.webp` to pass a Buffer containing JPEG, PNG or WebP image data to `callback`.
+	brew link gettext --force
 
-`width` is the Number of pixels wide the resultant image should be.
+### Install libvips on Ubuntu/Debian Linux
 
-`height` is the Number of pixels high the resultant image should be.
+	sudo apt-get install automake build-essential git gobject-introspection gtk-doc-tools libfftw3-dev libglib2.0-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev libpng12-dev libwebp-dev libtiff5-dev liborc-0.4-dev libxml2-dev swig
+	git clone https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips.git
+	cd libvips
+	git checkout 7.38
+	./bootstrap.sh
+	./configure --enable-debug=no --enable-cxx=no --without-python
+	make
+	sudo make install
+	sudo ldconfig
 
-`options` is optional, and can contain one or more of:
+Ubuntu 12.04 requires `libtiff4-dev` instead of `libtiff5-dev` and has [a bug](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libwebp/+bug/1108731) in the libwebp package. Work around these problems by running these command first:
 
-* `canvas` can be one of `sharp.canvas.crop`, `sharp.canvas.embedWhite` or `sharp.canvas.embedBlack`. Defaults to `sharp.canvas.crop`.
+	sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lyrasis/precise-backports
-* `sharpen` when set to true will perform a mild sharpen of the resultant image. This typically reduces performance by 30%.
+	sudo apt-get update
-* `progressive` when set will use progressive (interlace) scan for the output. This typically reduces performance by 30%.
+	sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev
-* `sequentialRead` is an advanced setting that, when set, switches the libvips access method to `VIPS_ACCESS_SEQUENTIAL`. This will reduce memory usage and can improve performance on some systems.
 
-`callback` gets two arguments `(err, buffer)` where `err` is an error message, if any, and `buffer` is the resultant image data when a Buffer is requested.

+## API
+
+### sharp(input)
+
+Constructor to which further methods are chained. `input` can be one of:
+
+* Buffer containing JPEG, PNG or WebP image data, or
+* String containing the filename of an image, with most major formats supported.
+
+### resize(width, [height])
+
+Scale to `width` x `height`. By default, the resized image is cropped to the exact size specified.
+
+`width` is the Number of pixels wide the resultant image should be. Use `null` or `undefined` to auto-scale the width to match the height.
+
+`height` is the Number of pixels high the resultant image should be. Use `null` or `undefined` to auto-scale the height to match the width.
+
+### crop()
+
+Crop the resized image to the exact size specified, the default behaviour.
+
+### embedWhite()
+
+Embed the resized image on a white background of the exact size specified.
+
+### embedBlack()
+
+Embed the resized image on a black background of the exact size specified.
+
+### sharpen()
+
+Perform a mild sharpen of the resultant image. This typically reduces performance by 30%.
+
+### progressive()
+
+Use progressive (interlace) scan for JPEG and PNG output. This typically reduces compression performance by 30% but results in an image that can be rendered sooner when decompressed.
+
+### sequentialRead()
+
+An advanced setting that switches the libvips access method to `VIPS_ACCESS_SEQUENTIAL`. This will reduce memory usage and can improve performance on some systems.
+
+### write(filename, callback)
+
+`filename` is a String containing the filename to write the image data to. The format is inferred from the extension, with JPEG, PNG, WebP and TIFF supported.
+
+`callback` is called with a single argument `(err)` containing an error message, if any.
+
+### jpeg(callback)
+
+Write JPEG image data to a Buffer.
+
+`callback` gets two arguments `(err, buffer)` where `err` is an error message, if any, and `buffer` is the resultant JPEG image data.
+
+### png(callback)
+
+Write PNG image data to a Buffer.
+
+`callback` gets two arguments `(err, buffer)` where `err` is an error message, if any, and `buffer` is the resultant PNG image data.
+
+### webp(callback)
+
+Write WebP image data to a Buffer.
+
+`callback` gets two arguments `(err, buffer)` where `err` is an error message, if any, and `buffer` is the resultant WebP image data.
+
+### toBuffer(callback)
+
+Write image data to a Buffer, the format of which will match the input image. JPEG, PNG and WebP are supported.
+
+`callback` gets two arguments `(err, buffer)` where `err` is an error message, if any, and `buffer` is the resultant image data.
+
+### sharp.cache([limit])
+
+If `limit` is provided, set the (soft) limit of _libvips_ working/cache memory to this value in MB. The default value is 100.
+
+This method always returns cache statistics, useful for determining how much working memory is required for a particular task.
+
+Warnings such as _Application transferred too many scanlines_ are a good indicator you've set this value too low.
+
+```javascript
+var stats = sharp.cache(); // { current: 98, high: 115, limit: 100 }
+sharp.cache(200); // { current: 98, high: 115, limit: 200 }
+sharp.cache(50); // { current: 49, high: 115, limit: 50 }
+```
+
 ## Testing
 
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/lovell/sharp.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/lovell/sharp)
+
 	npm test
 
+Running the tests requires both ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick plus one of either libmagick++-dev or libgraphicsmagick++.
+
+	brew install imagemagick
+	brew install graphicsmagick

+	sudo apt-get install imagemagick graphicsmagick libmagick++-dev
