Changelog

Image 0.62.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.62.0 released on August 8th, 2025. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Breaking Change

• Image.histogram/1 previously normalized the results which meant that the pixel counts for each bucket could not be resolved. The function no longer normalises the histogram so the raw pixel counts per bucket are retained.

Bug Fixes

• Image.histogram/1 is fixed to not normalize histogram entries. Therefore the histogram now returns correct pixel counts.

• Fix Image.Text.add_background_padding/2 when the padding is derived from a base image.

Enhancements

• Add Image.to_list/1 to return an image as a nested list.

• Added an example for Image.histogram/1 to illustrate what data is returned and how to interpret it.

Image 0.60.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.60.0 released on June 27th, 2025. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Breaking Changes

• Image.Math.maxpos/2 is renamed to Image.Math.top_n/2 to better reflect its intent. The keyword options argument is also replaced with a simple integer argument n.

• Image.Math.minpos/2 is renamed to Image.Math.bottom_n/2 to better reflect its intent. The keyword options argument is also replaced with a simple integer argument n.

• The return value from Image.Math.top_n/2 and Image.Math.bottom_n/2 have changed. They will now return the form {max, max_x, max_y, [{x_max_1, y_max_1}, {x_max_2, y_max_2}, ...]}.

Bug Fixes

• Improve the error messages for Image.crop/5 when the crop bounding box is invalid. Closes #190.

Enhancements

• Add Image.band_and/1, Image.band_or/1 and Image.band_xor/1 to apply the appropriate boolean operation across the bands of an image.

• Add new (and different) Image.Math.maxpos/2 and Image.Math.minpos/2 which return only coordinates whose values match the image maximum or minimum.

Image 0.59.3

This is the changelog for Image version 0.59.3 released on April 27th, 2025. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Image 0.59.1

This is the changelog for Image version 0.59.1 released on April 21st, 2025. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Deprecation

• The option :fontfile to Image.Text.text/2 is deprecated in favour of :font_file to be compatible with other functions that use the same option name.

Bug Fixes

• Remove pattern matching on Stream.t in Image.open/2. Thanks to @dcrck for the PR. Closes #187.

• Fix Image.Text.text/2 when :height is specified but not :width. In this case an error is returned since :height can only be specified if :width is also specified. Thanks to @Neophen for the report. Closes #185.

• Fix Image.Text.text/2 when the option :font_weight is specified. The options :font_weight and :letter_spacing are implemented by wrapping the text in a Pango markup span tag. If the string parameter starts with <span then these two options are ignored since this implies the user is taking full control of the markup. Closes #183.

• Add option documentation for :font_file to Image.Text.text/2 and note the requirement to also specify :font if :font_file is specified.

• Clarify that Image.Text.text/2 option :font_file is not supported on MacOS. On that platform, only FontBook fonts are supported. It is known to work on Linux. The status on Windows is currently unknown by the author - feedback would be welcome.

• Replace a <<0, ....>> sequence in an Exif string value with nil.

• Decode additional tags:

  • Exif tag 0xA005, Interop Offset. The value is in internal file pointer so has no meaningful interpretation in image.

  • TIFF tag 0xC4A5, Print Image Matching. According to this source the field has no standardised values so the raw value is returned.

Bug Fixes

• Fix typespecs in Image.Draw, improve tests and clarify docs. In particular, document that the function passed to Image.mutate/2 must return either :ok or {:ok, term}.

• Fix Image.get_pixel/3 to ensure only integer values are returned when the image band format is integer. This is required because the underlying Vix.Vips.Operation.getpoint/3 always returns floats.

• Fix using Image.open/2 with binary HEIC files. HEIC magic numbers are now used to identify if a binary is an HEIC image (as is already done for other image types).

• Return an error if opening a video stream returns a Evision.VideoCapture.t struct but the isOpened field is false.

Enhancements

• Updates Image.dominant_color/2 to take an optional :top_n which indicates how many of the most dominant colors to return. The default is 1. In addition, the implementation of Image.dominant_color/2 has been simplified following the advice at https://github.com/libvips/libvips/discussions/4016

• Adds Image.delta_e/3 to calculate a difference between two colors using one of the CIE color difference algorithms.

• Adds Image.k_means/2 to cluster image colors into a color palette. This function is only available if scholar is configured. As for any Nx installation, performance is affected by configuration options. It is likely that setting the following in config.exs will be a good idea:

config :nx,
  default_backend: EXLA.Backend

config :nx, :default_defn_options,
  compiler: EXLA

• Adds Image.Color.sort/2 to sort colors perceptually.

Image 0.45.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.45.0 released on May 6th, 2024. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Breaking changes

The implementations of Image.text/2 and Image.simple_text/2 have been simplified to use only the built-in Pango renderer. A bug in font sizing using the Pango renderer has also been fixed. As a result, there may be some small visual differences between text images generated by Image 0.45.0 compared to previous releases.

• Image.text/2 now uses only the built-in Pango renderer for all use cases. SVG is not nhow used for any rendering in Image.text/2 or Image.simple_text/2. This gives a more consistent output and less ambiguity. However as a result, a small number of options are no longer available since they cannot be honoured by Pango:

  • :text_stroke_color

  • :text_stroke_width

• The :autofit option to Image.text/2 is also removed. The autofit capability is now controlled by whether the :width and/or :height options are provided.

• Some other options are now treated differently in Image.text/2:

  • :width and :height are now truly optional. If ommitted, the renderer will calculate the required image size based upon the other options. It is acceptable to specify :width and omit :height in which case the maximum width is fixed and the height is variable.

Bug Fixes

• Fix warnings on upcoming Elixir 1.17.

• A bug resulting in incorrect font sizing with using the Pango renderer has been fixed. Font sizing is now very similar to the sizing of the previously used SVG renderer.

Image 0.44.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.44.0 released on April 9th, 2024. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

• Adds Image.Blurhash.encode/2 and Image.Blurhash.decode/1 to encode and decode blurhashes. Based upon a fork of rinpatch_blurhash. Thanks to @stiang for the suggestion. Thanks very much to @rinpatch for the implementation.

Image 0.43.2

This is the changelog for Image version 0.43.2 released on April 2nd, 2024. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

• Fix typo in exif :subsec_time_original.

• Remove spurious leading space from exif tag description " Standard Output Sensitivity and Recommended Exposure Index"

Image 0.43.1

This is the changelog for Image version 0.43.1 released on March 22nd, 2024. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

• Image.from_kino/2 and Image.from_kino!/2 now use the :file_ref field in the Kino input structure to identify the required image. This changed was added in Kino 0.11 which is therefore now a minimum version requirement. Thanks to @kevinschweikert for the PR. Closes #133.

• Improve the thumbnailing guide. Thanks to @nathanl for the PR. Closes #132.

Image 0.43.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.43.0 released on February 27th, 2024. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Breaking Changes

• Image.erode/2 and Image.dilate/2 now take a radius parameter rather than a pixels parameter. Both functions have been refactored to allow a radius in the range 1..5 with a default of 1. The radius represents the dimension of the matrix used in the Vix.Vips.Operations.range/4 function that underpins dilation and erosion. As such they represent the approximate number of pixels eroded or dilated. In addition, this function now results in a single libvips operation. The previous implementation created n operations (where n was the value of the pixels param) that could result in a slow imaging pipeline and in some cases a segfault of the entire VM due to stack space exhaustion in libvips.

• The signature for Image.linear_gradient/{1..3} has changed. The function now takes:

  • An image and an optional keyword list of options
  • A width and height as numbers and a keyword list of options

• Image.dominant_color/2 now returns an {:ok, rgb_color} tuple rather than a [r, g, b] list. Use Image.dominant_color!/2 if only the color value return is required.

• Image.map_pages/2 is deprecated in favour of Image.map_join_pages/2 to better reflect the intent of the function.

Enhancements

• Image.linear_gradient/{1..3} now takes an :angle option which determines the angle of the gradient in degrees. Thanks to @severian1778 for considerable patience. Closes #67.

• Improve options handling and documentation for Image.radial_gradient/3.

• Add Image.radial_gradient!/3 to mirror Image.radial_gradient/3.

• Add Image.dominant_color!/2 to mirror Image.dominant_color/2.

• Add Image.extract_pages/1 which will extract the pages of a multi-page into a list of separate images.

Image 0.42.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.42.0 released on January 23rd, 2024. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Deprecations

• Image.interpretation/0 deprecated in favour of Image.colorspace/0. This is more orthogonal to the Image.to_colorspace/2 call and more in line with common image lexicons.

• Image.convert_to_mask/1 is deprecated in favour of Image.covert_alpha_to_mask/1 which is more descriptive of the functions purpose.

• Image.type/1 is deprecated in favour of Image.band_format/1. This function name expresses clearer intent.

Bug Fixes

• Fix :rbg colorspace to be the correct name of :rgb.

Enhancements

• Documentation updates for Image.dilate/2 and Image.erode/2.

• Add Image.cast!/2 to mirror Image.cast/2.

Image 0.39.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.39.0 released on December 15th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Breaking change

• Image.open/2 no longer supports the :autorotate option. Instead, call Image.autorotate/1 after opening the image. There reasons are:
  • :autorotate is only supported by libvips for a few image types, not including png images. Hence the option cannot be used in a generalised way.
  • No signalling is done to indicate whether the image was actually rotated whereas Image.autorotate/1 does return this information.
  • Using autorotate: true does not appear to remove the orientation EXIF tag and therefore calling Image.autorotate/1 would result in a second rotation.

Bug Fixes

• Fix finding the dominant color for images with an alpha band. Thansk to @mayel for the report. Closes #114.

Image 0.38.5

This is the changelog for Image version 0.38.5 released on December 7th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

• Adds a squircle mask function and a squircle avatar shape option. Thanks to @gf3 for the PR.

• Adds Image.map_pages/2 to execute a function for each page in a .webp or .gif image then reassemble the pages into a new image. This can be used to crop all the frames of an animated image. Thanks to @Mefgalm for the prompt to get this done. Eventually this function will be used by default for Image.crop/5 and Image.thumnail/3.

• Adds Image.pages/1 to return the number of pages in an image. For normal images the result will be 1. For animated images it will be the number of frames in the animation.

• Adds support for cropping multi-page images (like animated .webp and .gif images) in Image.crop/5.

• Adds Image.equalize/2 which expands an image to fill the tone range. Equalization can be performed on all bands, on each band or only on the luminance band. This function replaces Image.normalize/1 and Image.autolevel/1.

• Adds Image.contrast/2 to apply simple contrast adjustments to an image. The contrast parameter is provided as a float >= 0.0 with contrast less than 1.0 meaning reduce contrast and greater than 1.0 meaning increase contrast.

• Adds Image.apply_tone_curve/2 which applies a tone curve to an image. This is typically used to affect overall image contrast.

• Adds Image.local_contrast/2 which applies a Constrast Limited Adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) to improve local contrast in images.

• Adds Image.sharpen/2 to apply sharpening to an image.

• Adds Image.modulate/2 to adjust an image using brightness, saturation, hue rotation and lightness in a single call.

• Adds Image.band_format/1 to return the band format of an image in Nx notation.

• Adds Image.with_band_format/3 to cast an image to a new band format, execute a function on the cast image and then re-cast the image back to its original band format if the function returns successfully.

• Adds Image.range/1 that returns the possible range of values for a pixel as a tuple in the form {min_value, max_value}.

• Adds Image.reduce_noise/2 and Image.reduce_noise!/2 that applies a median filter to reduce salt and pepper noise in an image.

Image 0.34.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.34.0 released on June 24th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

• Corrects generating text images with Image.Text.text/2 whent the text_stroke_color and text_fill_color are black. Closes #87 (again).

• Fixes using a combination of atom and numeric arguments to Image.compose/3. Thanks to @sodapopcan for the PR. Closes #97.

• Removes a warning when testing without minio being installed. Thanks to @sodapopcan for the PR. Closes #95.

Enhancements

• Adds Image.compare/3 to compare two images for similarity using a given metric (default is :ae or absolute error). The three metrics implemented in this release are :ae (absolute error which returns a value between 0.0 and 1.0), :mse (mean squared error) and :rmse (root mean squared error which returns a value between 0.0 and 1.0).

• Adds Image.brightness/2 and Image.saturation/2 to adjust the image brightness and saturation by a percentage amount between 0.0 and 1.0. Also adds Image.brightness!/2 and Image.saturation!/2.

• Adds hash_size as an argument to Image.hamming_distance/3. This is the size in bits of the returned hash. The default is 64. The size of the returned hash is only guaranteed to be this size if the :math.sqrt(hash_size) is an integer.

• Adds :letter_spacing as an option to Image.Text.text/2. Thanks to @sodapopcan for the PR. Closes #97.

Image 0.33.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.33.0 released on June 2nd, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Breaking Changes

• Image.dhash/1 now returns a 64-bit hash (by default) rather than a 512-bit hash. The original algorithm is intended to return a 64-bit hash so this is both a breaking change and bug fix.

• Fix generation of images from text when autofit: false (the default). In these cases the text image is generated from SVG. The original implementation operated on the basis that the image would be generated with a height and width necessary to contain the text of a given font size. The result is not consistent and is influenced by whether the text has ascenders or desenders. The new implementation creates an SVG container of a size large enough to contain the text at the given font-size and then trims away the background to produce the final result. Thanks to @ilesar for the report. Closes #86. As a result of this fix, existing text-generated images may not now be the same as previous releases.

Image 0.32.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.32.0 released on May 24th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

• Fix Image.Text.text/2 when the text fill color is black (within a tolerance). When the text image is created, Vix.Vips.Operation.find_trim/2 is called to trim the image assuming a black background. Since the fill color is also black, the resulting trim is 0 pixels wide and 0 pixels high. When then cropping the image, the crop fails because the crop size is invalid. The fix is to not crop if there is no trim detected. Thanks to @tielur for the report. Closes #84.

• Fix specification for Image.compose/3 to remove dialyzer error (and include test case). Thanks to @tielur for the report. Closes #85.

• Fix Image.add_alpha/2 when providing a "color". In fact the value should be an integer in the range 0..255 representing the level of transparency of the alpha band. The function spec, documentation and implementation are now changed to accept only an integer (or the atoms :opaque and :transparent).

Enhancements

• Adds Image.from_svg/2 and Image.from_svg!/2 to provide a more discoverable means of creating an image from an SVG string.

Image 0.31.1

This is the changelog for Image version 0.31.1 released on May 10th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Image 0.28.2

This is the changelog for Image version 0.28.2 released on April 13th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

• Image.Classification.serving/2 was applying the option top_k: 1 which means not all predictions were being returned. This option is now removed. Thanks to @tmariaz for raising the issue.

Image 0.28.1

This is the changelog for Image version 0.28.1 released on April 7th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Image 0.28.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.28.0 released on April 6th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

• Fixes resizing images with alpha bands. Resizing images with alpha bands requires premultiplying the alpha band into the image and reversing that after resizing.

Enhancements

• Adds Image.warp_perspective/4 to apply a warp transformation to an image. Thanks very much to @sodapopcan for the PR and collaboration.

• Adds Image.straighten_perspective/3 to apply a warp perspective that straighens the image. It is basically Image.warp_perspective/4 with algorithmically derived destination parameter.

• Adds Image.map/2 which applies a transformation matrix (not a convolution kernel) to an image. A transformation matrix can be returned from Image.transform_matrix/3. These two functions underpin Image.warp_perspective/4.

• Adds Image.crop/2 which is a variation of Image.crop/5 that takes the same format of bounding box as that applied to Image.warp_perspective/4 making it easy to apply a warp transform and then crop to the transformed area. Note that cropping requires that the bounding box be a rectangle, not an arbitrary quadrilateral.

Image 0.27.1

This is the changelog for Image version 0.27.1 released on March 20th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Behaviour Change

• Changes the default position for an image embedded via Image.embed/2 to be [0, 0] not [:center, :center].

Image 0.27.0

Image 0.26.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.26.0 released on March 12th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Breaking change

• Image.avatar/3 is now Image.avatar/2. The size parameter is now the :size option. The default value of 180 pixels remains.

Enhancements

• Image.avatar/2 takes a :shape option that is either :circle (the default) or :square. This allows the generation of either circular or square avatars.

Bug Fixes

• Fix Image.open/2 for SVG binaries and add note to show that SVG images can be opened.

• Fix Image.avatar/2 to square the image after thumbnailing but before applying any mask. This ensures a circular mask is centred on the thumbnailed image.

• Fix Image.avatar/2 for image path parameters which no correctly flattens the image.

• Fix Image.avatar!/2 to accept either an image or an image path.

Image 0.25.1

This is the changelog for Image version 0.25.1 released on March 1st, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

• Fix Image.flatten/1 to only flatten if there is an alpha band.

Image 0.25.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.25.0 released on February March 1st, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Behavior Change

• The default access mode for Image.open/2 is now access: :random in line with libvips native default. Although access: :sequential optimizes for many cases (especially with regard to memory) it resulted in poor developer experience since the error messages when trying to re-use a access: :sequential image are difficult to understand and very difficult to re-interpret in image.

Bug Fixes

• Adds :heic and :avif suffixes to the list of valid suffixes for heif file formats. Thanks to @quentin-bettoum for the PR. Closes #50.

• Allows specifying the option padding: 0 for Image.Text.text/2. Previously this only supported positive integers.

• Fix Image.write/3 documentation. Thanks to @jeregrine for the PR. Closes #62.

Enhancements

• Update README.md to include updated documentation for installing libvips with Vix.

• Adds :x and :y options to Image.Text.text/2 which allows placing the text on its background in the specified location. :x can be specified as a non-negative integer or one of :left, :right or :center with the default being :center. :y can be specified as a non-negative integer or one of :top, :bottom or :middle with the default being :middle. Thanks to @severian1778 for the issue and collaboration. Closes #44.

• Adds an option :effort to Image.write/3 for :png, :heif, :heic, :avif and :webp images that determines the amount of CPU effort permitted when compressing the image data. Thanks to @quentin-bettoum for the PR. Closes #45.

Image 0.24.1

This is the changelog for Image version 0.24.1 released on February 14th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

• Fix specs for Image.Options.Write. Thanks to @jarrodmoldrich. Closes #36.

• Fix spec for Image.exif/1. Thanks to @ntodd for the PR. Closes #35.

Enhancements

• Adds Image.normalize/1 which normalizes an image by expanding the luminance of an image to cover the full dynamic range.

• Adds Image.autolevel/1 which scales each band of an image to fit the full dynamic range. Unlike Image.normalize/1, each band is scaled separately.

• Adds Image.erode/2 which erodes pixels from the edge of an image mask. This can be useful to remove a small amount of colour fringing around the edge of an image.

• Adds Image.dilate/2 which dilates pixels from the edge of an image mask.

• Adds Image.trim/2 which trims an image to the bounding box of the non-background area.

Breaking change

• Image.Video.image_at_millisecond/2 and Image.Video.image_from_frame/2 are removed and replaced by Image.Video.image_from_video/2.

Enhancements

• Adds Image.Video.image_from_video/2 with support for :frame and :millisecond seek options. Seek options are only supported for video files, not video streams.

• Adds Image.Video.seek/2 to seek the extraction point to the requested frame or millisecond. Seeking is supported for video files only, not video streams.

• Adds support for capturing images from video streams (not only video files). For example, Image.Video.open(:default_camera). See the updated documentation for Image.Video.open/1. An image stream does not support seeking.

This is the changelog for Image version 0.20.0 released on January 8th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

• Fix Image.from_evision/1 to correctly orient the dimensions as {width, height, bands}

Enhancements

• Add support for extracting frames from video as images using eVision. See Image.Video.

• Supports vix upcoming prebuilt libvips. The prebuilt libvips may not include the FFT dependency so Image.skew_angle/1 and Image.fft/1 are only included if Vix.Vips.Operation.fft!/1 is available.

Image 0.19.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.19.0 released on December 24th, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Image 0.18.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.18.0 released on December 20th, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

• Adds Image.Classification.classify/2 and Image.Classification.labels/2 to execute image classification models over an image using Bumblebee.

• Adds an option :max_height to Image.Kino.show/2. Thanks to @kwando for the PR. Closes #33.

Image 0.17.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.17.0 released on December 19, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Breaking change

• Rename Image.orientation/1 to be Image.aspect/1 to better reflect its purpose. Orientation has a more specific meaning in image metadata and in Vips.Vix.Image.orientation/1.

Bug Fixes

• Fix Image.aspect/1 for exactly square images.

• Draw functions now default to opaque if the base image has an alpha band (previously they would be transparent). Thanks for @kwando for the collaboration. Closes #32.

Enhancements

• Adds a :fit option to Image.thumbnail/3 that uses the same terminology as the CSS object-fit property. This option sets overwrites the options :crop and :resize to produce the specified outcome.

Image 0.15.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.15.0 released on Decmber 4th, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

• Fix Image.minimize_metadata/1 which was previously creating malformed exif data.

Enhancements

• Add :autofit option to Image.Text.text/2. When set to true, text is rendered with Vix.Vips.Operation.text/2. The default, false, uses SVG rendering. There are pros and cons to both strategies. The main difference is that autofit: true will automatically size the text and perform line wrapping to fit the specified :width and :height. Thanks to @dmitriid for the suggestion!

Image 0.10.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.10.0 released on October 5th, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

• Since the mix build process does a File.cwd!/1 to the directory of each dependency we can't use the dirname of the dependency to decide whether to configure :evision or not. The strategy is now changed to configure :evision only if the environment CONFIGURE_EVISION is set. Note this is only relevant when developing :image itself. Consumers of the library should add :evision as a dependency manually in their application mix.exs as described in the readme. Thanks to @martosaur for the report. Closes #13.

Image 0.9.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.9.0 released on October 1st, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

• Set the environment variable VIPS_BLOCK_UNTRUSTED at application start if it is not already set. As of libvips 8.13 this environment variable will cause libvips to not use any image loaders that are "unfuzzed".

• Add mutable draw operations. These operations mutate an image directly and hence special care is taken to avoid race conditions. All mutuable operations are serialized via a GenServer. See the Image.Draw module. These functions are experimental for now pending additional testing.

• Add Image.from_binary/2 to support creating an image from a raw binary.

• Thanks to @timothyvanderaerden for the PR to support getting dialyzer under control. Work will continue on this over the next several releases.

Image 0.4.0

This is the changelog for Image version 0.4.0 released on June 23rd, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

• Adds support for opening streaming images. This allows images to be streamed from File.stream!/3 or from any t:Stream.t/0 including those created from ExAws.S3 by ExAws.stream!/2.

• Adds support writing streaming images. This allows images to be streamed as an enumerable which can then be consumed by Plug.Conn.chunk/2, by ExAws.S3.upload/3, File.stream/3 or any other function that processes stream resources. See the test/stream_image_test.exs for examples.

• Adds a :memory option to Image.write/3. Instead of a path name or stream, use :memory if you'd like to return a binary form of an image in its formatted type. Note that this will run the image transformation pipeline resulting in the entire final image being loaded into memory. Therefore this option should be used sparingly since most use cases do not require this option. It is primarily added to facilitate passing images to other libraries in the Elixir ecosystem.
