netpbm
Netpbm is a toolkit for manipulation of graphic images, including conversion of images between a variety of different formats. There are over 220 separate tools in the package including converters for about 100 graphics formats. Examples of the sort of image manipulation we're talking about are:
- Shrinking an image by 10%
- Cutting the top half off of an image
- Making a mirror image
- Creating a sequence of images that fade from one image to another
The goal of Netpbm is to be a single source for all the primitive graphics utilities, especially converters, one might need. So if you know of some freely redistributable software in this vein which is not in the package yet, you should bring it to the attention of the Netpbm maintainer so it can be included in the next release.
Netpbm does not contain interactive tools and doesn't have a graphical interface.
