Please add Image processing

[Osager]

Hello
First of all thanks for making this status review.

I suggest to add a section on image processing.
Notable libraries includes: friday, JuicyPixels etc
But i can not judge the maturity of them.

Best regards

So I can judge library quality pretty easily, but I don't know a whole lot about image processing. The main thing I need to know is what one would expect from a mature image processing toolkit in other languages

I've played with Friday and JuicyPixels in the past for a project. My use cases were:

• resize
• crop
• convert from various formats to PNG
• validate arbitrary binary inputs to detect whether they're one of the supported/mainstream formats

I'd the above is a good enough starting point for a web app/service.

I don't think it's "Image processing". It's more "Support for file formats". We already have such section for JSON. So we can add JuicyPixels there, with a notification that it supports basic image operations on common formats (PNG, JPG)
