-ImageMagick bindings for node.js
+# Merlin - ImageMagick bindings for node.js #
+
+## Usage ##
+
+  var merlin = require('merlin');
+
+  // create a new MerlinImage with a node Buffer containing data from an image
+  var image = new merlin.MerlinImage(buffer);
+  var new_image = image.resize(300, 400);
+  // operations can be chained
+  var new_image = new_image.negative().crop(100, 100, 0, 0);
+  // when finished, get the buffer from the image
+  res.write(new_image.getBuffer());
+
+## Supported Operations ##
+MerlinImage.rotate(/*double*/ degrees)
+MerlinImage.crop(/*int*/ width, /*int*/ height, /*int*/xoffset, /*int*/yoffset)
+MerlinImage.resize(/*int*/ width, /*int*/ height)
+MerlinImage.negative()
+
+More to come!  We plan to create bindings for as much of the ImageMagick API as we can.
