Image Effects

The Image Effects module provides a suite of additional image effects that can be added to image styles. Image Effects tries to support both the GD toolkit from Drupal core and the ImageMagick toolkit.

For an updated list of effects available, see the README file.

Please note that there may be effects that are not supported by all toolkits, or that provide different results with different toolkits.
