Thanks, I'll take a look at IK.

I also found an Apple example application called ImageApp. It seems to work fine. No memory leaks.

The approach for using CIImage seems to be to draw directly to an NSView rather than going to an NSImageView.

If you want to display many thumbnails (or images in general) why not use the ImageKit?

It’s what it was designed for. Check out IK* files.

“The IKImageBrowserView class is a view for displaying and browsing a large amount of images and movies efficiently.”

What is the fastest way to generate and display a thumbnail from a digital camera file?
In the past I used NSImage -- however the quality (with JPEG files) leaves something to be desired. Now I am using CIImage with Lanczos scale transform -- quality is very good but it is slow (particularly with raw files).


Should I be using the thumbnail capability of Image I/O? Will it have as good a quality as CIImage, but be faster?

I am comparing the speed of my app (running in Xcode) with the speed of Preview. Preview is much faster ( 2x or 3X). I wonder what they are doing.

Of course the fastest way to display a thumbnail is to use the thumbnail in the file (assuming there is one). But that's the problem, there may not be a thumbnail in the file, in which case you need to create one yourself.

Thanks for any help,

Jim Merkel
