VIPs is a 2010 Brazilian drama film directed by Toniko Melo, based on the book VIPs - Histórias Reais de um Mentiroso by Mariana Caltabiano, about Marcelo Nascimento Rocha, a criminal who was famous for impersonating several people, among them one of the owners of the Gol airline and one of the leaders of the PCC criminal faction.
It is the first film of Toniko Melo alone in the direction. His other film, Som e Fúria (2008), was directed in partnership with Fernando Meirelles, which is one of the producers of VIPs. The film was exhibited at the Festival do Rio and won four awards, including best picture.
VIPS is an open source image processing software package. It is particularly good with large images, works with multi-core processors, working with colour, scientific analysis and general research & development. It was developed during and is the product of several European research projects (VASARI, MARC, ACOHIR, Viseum) which were primarily about Imaging art, but which demanded a new approach to image processing.
Compared to most image processing libraries VIPS needs little RAM and runs quickly, especially on machines with more than one CPU. This is primarily due to its architecture which automatically parallelises the image workflows.
The software has two main parts: libvips is the image-processing library and nip2 is the graphical user-interface. The GUI aims to be about half-way between Photoshop and Excel. It is not designed for tasks such as retouching photographs, but more useful for the many other imaging tasks that programs like Photoshop are used for. Both work on Linux, Unix, Windows (NT, 2k, XP, Vista, Win7) and Apple Mac OS (OS 10.2 and later).
VIPS is a standard package for many Linux distributions
