or Gmagick (plugin)
• Possible to change the quality
of PNG’s too
• Possible to change the mime
type if needed
25. WPThumb
https://github.com/humanmade/WPThumb
• Used a lot for caching custom image sizes
• Previous it was using PHPThumb but now it’s using WP_Image_Editor
27. WP_Image
• A way to retrieve a WP_Image_Editor by attachment ID
• Creating custom images and saved them in the image meta data
• Hopefully it helps out one day to not create images on the fly
28. A better image editor
• A popup to change an image
• No more opening a new venster from the new image dialog
• The image editor should be extendable
• Better ways to say on which image size it should apply
• Be able to use image filters. No Instagram anymore but just WordPress for all
