With the last finishing touches completed, i'm excited to be able to announce that the review of Generic Image Library (GIL) will begin October 5, in three days. Please download the library at: http://opensource.adobe.com/gil.<http://opensource.adobe.com/gil> This site has a great deal of background information about the library, so be shur to check it out. A quick summary follows: The Generic Image Library (GIL) is a C++ library that abstracts the image representation from operations on images. It allows for writing the image processing algorithm once and having it work for images in any color space, channel depth and pixel organization, or even synthetic images, without compromising the performance. GIL has an extension mechanism that allows for adding extra functionality. Two extensions are currently provided – one for image I/O and one for handling images whose properties are specified at run-time.
