Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello folks,

at the moment I'm using convert.exe as an external command from a C++ application. I'm trying to improve the overall performance of the application, so I want to use an API instead.
The image transformations I use are not very complicated, such as changing bitdepth, resolution, rotating, extracting frames and type conversion.

I don't understand very well what difference between Magic++, MagickWand, and MagickCore and the situations when each one of this options is recommended.
Any idea is welcome

Thanks,
Daiana

If your application is C++, use Magick++. If its C, use MagickWand. If you are a C wizard, use MagickCore. MagickCore is the base API for both MagickWand and Magick++.
