Happy to meet you all !

I have a small question for you. Not sure whether it's fit to be posted here. but it's still an unanwered question for me.

I need to process some JPG and TIFF images in Windows NT. In specific I wish to do these things:

1. Read the image.
2. Create a new image.
3. Drawing text, shapes(of simple structures), another image or a part of it, etc... on a new image.
4. clipping the image.
5. Resizing the image. (Zoom +/-)
6. Compress/Uncompress images (guess, this doesn't belong to this category.)

I am not writing this without any preliminary search in CPAN. I have gone through Image::Magick, but I wish to use this took for commercial use, by which I mean developing a static application(using Perl/Tk) for an inhouse project in my company. So, I am not sure whether I can use ImageMagick or not. If I can use ImageMagick, I have all the answers to my questions above.

I have also gone through Imager module. I think it serves the purpose. But, the thing is I have to process thousands of images a day through my application. I am bothered abouth the performance.

So, if any of you have used Imager or ImageMagick or any other modules, which is absolutely free, to process images like the above six I have mentioned??

Note: This is on Windows NT x86 machines.


Thanks a lot in advance!

P.S: If this doesn't belong to this mailing list, plz excuse me and I would be glad if you could guide me.
