ImageMagick - Smart Image Manipulation

ImageMagick is a free software suite for the creation, modification and display of bitmap images. It can be executet interactively via command line, more often IM's features are used by software programs through ready-made ImageMagick interfaces, which allow to manipulate more than 90 major formats automatically and dynamically.

Examples of intelligent MagickImage technology usage are Flickr, scaling the images into different sizes after the upload for a better user experience and Typo3, to resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or add special effects to an image.

Typo3 also fits the needs as my personal multimedia CMS extended with blog, press center, eCards, eShop, cross format search, account area, multimedia center, banner management, downloads, contact management, business intelligence, multisite, multilanguage, automatic language detection: german/english and many more useful features.

Hi,

I was interested to see your list of enstensions (extended with blog, press center, eCards, eShop, cross format search, account area, multimedia center, banner management, downloads, contact management, business intelligence, multisite, multilanguage, automatic language detection: german/english and many more useful features.)

Can you confirm that these extensions are all available for Typo3 and are mature enough to use ?

Thanks!

Yes they are. From a business perspective the shop and the related intelligence are a bit poor, but this is not a strenght of Typo3. You should consider that Typo3 is one of the most sophisticated opensource CMS that exist, great experience, flexibility and maturity. It takes a bit of time to pick all the configuration parameters from typo3.org and to get used to it, but once this is done you're fine. Installation is not easy (you need a root server with ssh-access), but there are many hosted solution providers around.
