Improved image manipulation in WordPress

WordPress 3.5 will have a new way of manipulate images and by default it can also use Imagick instead of GD. With this we hope developers find it easy to manipulate images to their needs.

Within this talk I will go into several code examples starting with a simple one what explains how to create a new resized image from a random file on disk. I will end the presentation with explaining how you can write your own implementation and will show code how you can implement WPThumb as WordPress main image manipulator. Note: This is an intermediate-level session!
