[SIP-devel] suggestions

[Ricardo F. <rf...@if...>]

Dear SIP codevelopers,

SIP 0.3.0 is really about to come (in less than a day).

I need suggestions about image normalization.

ImageMagick generally stores images with 16bit integers, meaning that
the images ranges from 0-65535 (2^16).  This is better for precision
and quality, but this isn't intuitive to many users.

Shall SIP normalize the output of every ImageMagick image to
0-255? I already did this to imread. Shouldn't I also do this
for the input to imwrite? This would impact precision, but is
this precision really important? If not, I could even ship the
SIP-0.3.0 binary together with a 8-bit ImageMagick, which is much
faster.

We also need someone to port SIP to windows. If you care about
Windows, please help this poor Linux programmer :^)

thanks for any help!
Ricardo.
