Hi everybody,

I want to use ImageMagick to transform many big images (up to 30Mo).
I want to make several transformations on the same image.

What is the comportement of Image magick about Image Memory Loading ?

Does ImageMagick load the image in memory for each tranformation ?
Does ImageMagick keep the image in memery between the tranformations on the same image ?

Thanks !

See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/architecture.php. You can force image pixels from memory to disk. Its slower but it ensures a small memory footprint.
