@@ -4,13 +4,30 @@ 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.

+Resizing an image is typically 4x faster than using the
+quickest ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick settings.
+
+Colour spaces, embedded ICC profiles and alpha transparency channels are all handled correctly.
+Bicubic interpolation with Lanczos anti-alias filtering ensures quality is not sacrificed for speed.
+
+As well as image resizing, operations such as
+rotation, extraction, compositing and gamma correction are available.
+
+Most Windows (x64), Linux and ARMv6+ systems do not require
+the installation of any external runtime dependencies.
+
+Use with OS X is as simple as running `brew install homebrew/science/vips`
+to install the libvips dependency.

Lovell Fuller	85d86dbede	Merge pull request #263 from chrisriley/nan2-doubles Convert blur and sharpen parameters to double instead of int. This was broken during the nan v2 upgrade by commit `b7e0a6f`.	2015-09-06 19:29:06 +01:00
Chris Riley	ce2d7b8efc	Update pipeline.cc In the upgrade to nan v2 that was part of v0.11.2 the baton values for blurSigma, sharpenFlat, and sharpenJagged were being cast to int32_t causing blur(sigma) and sharpen(radius, flat, jagged) to fail with "parameters out of range". This patch casts these baton values to doubles.	2015-09-06 12:29:07 -04:00
