[google-appengine] Re: images, rotation and quality/compression
Yes, it is experiencing very clear image degradation. Ill try it in production and post back to this thread. Even if it is clean in production, it will be worth noting in the SDK notes about the image service. Thanks!

The SDK uses the Python Imaging Library, which is not the same as the Images service in production, so I would not expect the same result. It's also possible that your image is simply more compressible when rotated. Are you experiencing actual visual degradation? -Nick Johnson On Sun, May 10, 2009 at 4:08 AM, Pindropper Info i...@pindropper.com wrote: I am going to post this in the python group too, but I think it may be a general engine topic.

[google-appengine] Re: images, rotation and quality/compression
Ok, so in production, I dont see the same image artifacts/compression, but there is a slight color/gamma shift. It's totally acceptable, but again, should probably be reflected in the docs. Specifically, it looks like the image service strips out ColorSync profiles from rotated images. Here are the two samples (before and after) Original image: http://www.pindropper.com/_Media/remote2.jpg Rotated image: http://www.pindropper.com/_Media/remote1.jpg The original image has the following ColorSync profile embedded: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 Thanks for your help!

[google-appengine] New iPhone application launched on GAE!
I just wanted to give some kudos to the whole GAE team. I was able to create the order processing backend on GAE in under a month for my iPhone app: a href=http://www.pindropper.com;PicCard/a The app lets you select a picture and recipient from you iPhone, and send a printed postcard to them. Without GAE, I would have had to run my own servers and worry about uptime. So far, the users have been fantastically happy with the performance/availability. Thanks again to everyone who helped get this working and to the entire Google App engine team! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.
