This may be a dup of #53, but keeping it for now. :-)
At the suggestion of @calavano, we are switching to libvips instead of ImageMagick for JP2 derivative creation. Tony will have more details, but some of the benefits of libvips will be:
better performance
more reliability
relies less on using shell commands behind the scenes
We may be able to use ruby-vips to replace not only our direct calls to ImageMagick, but also to replace our use of miniexif-tools for image related work.
This is related to #53, but covers the broader case of
are we using libvips in assembly-image in all the places it makes sense?
is there anyplace we are called out directly to ImageMagick when we could/should do something else?
does assembly-image still need a dependency on mini-exiftools gem?
