Introduction
------------


.. _What-does-it-do:

What does it do?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

ALTAIR GD Magick aims to be a drop-in replacement for ImageMagick when
this one is not available at the hoster. The extension uses GD to
replace the functionality of IM (obviously as far as it can due to the
limitations of GD).

The main purpose of this extension is to generate thumbnails by GD the
same way the original Typo3 core does by IM, i.e. the same typoscript
code should result in the same image.

The idea of this extension comes fomr jb\_gd\_resize and srgd Typo3
extensions (thanks to Jan Bednarikand Sebastien Rueggfor their work!),
but tries to be more compatible with the original IM based methods and
replace less of the original Typo3 code.

Supported image formats: GIF, JPEG, PNG
