Updated Amazon Image Hacks

I just got the following email from the original author of Amazon Image Hacks. One of these days Media Manager will get many of the updates buried in this (honestly) obscure piece of documentation about Amazon's undocumented image manipulation protocol that power's Media Manager.

This is just a quick note to all of the folks who wrote me about my "Abusing Amazon Images" article on working with the Amazon.com image-generating engine:

I have continued to update the page, adding additional commands, size options, bullets, and so forth. The text also reflects a bit more understanding of what is going on in the engine (I think!), and is better organized to help you find the commands and options you want. As such, if you haven't checked out the guide lately, do stop by http://AAUGH.com/imageabuse.html to see what I've been up to.

(And for those of you who think I sunk way too much time into this: really, it hasn't taken nearly as much time as people seem to think.)

Comments

There's some really cool image tricks in that. I'm not sure what I'd personally use them for, as the plain ol' boring standard image is fine for me.

But it certainly appears to be a powerful system.
