In a distributed work environment,  the options to pre-process images prior to 
getting them into LiveCode is often zero. So...when the only resources you have 
are square, ordinary images, having such a library in Livecode can be hugely 
helpful... add to that, the use case may be multiple images over many cards ( 
or set for whatever purpose), making an LC library/process that can loop, way, 
way more efficient than doing these in GIMP of Photoshop, unless you want to go 
through the headached of setting up and recording actions etc.

I have in house app functions where, sure, we could do the same thing in 
another X, Y, Z application, but certainly not with the same efficiency and 
certainly not by someone with zero skill set in applications X,Y,Z.

I have volunteers to work on sets of 3000 + images with Livecode where the idea of 
"why bother, you can do this in GIMP/Photoshop"  verges on madness (smile).

Well: Bonkers or not, I am on holiday for the next 4 days so I shall TRY (note caveat) to implement a happy "corner-round-er-er" in a Livecode stack to keep your volunteers from going any more bonkers than they already are to volunteer to work on such
socking great sets of images.

Watch this space: : end of the space to be watched.

GIMP:  https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ or
Photoshop: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html
and there are quite a few other image editing software packages
available that can do that job as well.
