use different ImageMagick library? #50

Open afeld opened 9 years ago

afeld commented 9 years ago

Met @maxim the other day after giving a talk about magickly, and he suggested using Skeptic as the ImageMagick (which I'll call "IM") wrapper.

I haven't been actively working on magickly in a while, and haven't been following progress on IM Ruby libraries. The issue with Dragonfly 0.x (not sure about 1.x) is that each transformation is applied in a separate convert command

Feedback/ideas welcome!

P.S. This change would obviate https://github.com/afeld/magickly/issues/48.

The only issue with skeptick currently is no windows support. I want to switch to https://github.com/thoughtbot/cocaine for running the command, which is cross-platform, but waiting for any response here: https://github.com/thoughtbot/cocaine/issues/81.

Not a deal-breaker for me.
