Graphics Mill by Aurigma

Add advanced Image processing to your .NET applications. Graphics Mill will allow you to develop complex imaging applications. Graphics Mill can be used to create photo hosting websites, applications which apply preprint preparation to images, scripts which generate web graphics, or any other advanced imaging application you might need. Graphics Mill includes the capability to load (as well as save) images from various sources: files, streams, arrays,1-bit Images Support, Strong TIFF File Format Support, Write-Only PDF Support and many more. Graphics Mill Standard edition doesn't include x64 platform support, PDF file format support or the PSD processing tool.

OVERVIEW

Graphics Mill is an image processing component developed for the .NET platform. Graphics Mill is available in two editions Pro and Standard: Graphics Mill application domain includes solutions that heavily rely on complex imaging. Graphics Mill Pro edition features x64 platforms support and multi-core/multi-CPU optimization. This ensures that the potential of your hardware is fully revealed when delivering performance-taxing and time-critical imaging tasks.

Graphics Mill Pro uses include:

pre-press and pre-print preparation

document management systems

personalized graphics creation applications

scientific imaging

satellite photo processing solutions

other solutions involving professional imaging capabilities

Structurally, Graphics Mill Pro comprises four parts:

Core Library

This is where the imaging capabilities of Graphics Mill Pro lie. Core library implements x64 and multi-core and multi-CPU support, format and metadata handling, color space conversion, transforms, effects and filters application, tone and brightness correction, on-the-fly thumbnailing and many other tasks provided by the imaging SDK.

AJAX for ASP.NET Controls

These controls leverage the core functionality of the imaging SDK in web applications. Featuring no-postback data retrieval and background loading, these controls ensure smooth online image editing experience even over slow connections.

Windows Forms Controls

These enable end user to pan, crop, zoom, select regions, resize images, manipulate layers with raster and vector objects, generate thumbnail lists and perform other imaging operations in desktop applications. WinForms controls have been designed with memory-friendliness in mind. This is vital for pre-press industry and print-preparation solutions, even given the fact that the Pro edition provides x64 support. These controls leverage the core functionality of the imaging SDK in web applications. Featuring no-postback data retrieval and background loading, these controls ensure smooth online image editing experience even over slow connections.

Add-Ons

The add-ons further expand core library functionality. Graphics Mill Pro already includes the functionality of the add-ons listed below - they are not sold separately.

AVI Processor Add-on- enhances Graphics Mill functionality with AVI format support. It enables to read/write AVI files, work with audio tracks, put watermarks onto it, add transition effects, etc.

Media Processor Add-on - allows to generate thumbnails from different kinds of video files and extract different meta-information from them

Advanced PSD Add-on- improves PSD format support. It allows to read separate layers from PSD file, get raster layers and text layers (string, font, etc). These layers can be merged with Graphics Mill

Red-Eye Removal Add-on- features red-eye effect removal functionality. It implements unique semiautomatic and manual modes

The Standard edition doesn't include x64 platform support, PDF file format write only support or the PSD processing tool. See the 'Graphics Mill Standard vs. Pro Comparison' document in the 'Evals and Downloads' Section of this product page to see the differences.

Graphics Mill Standard functionality should suffice include the following:

online photo editors

image galleries

photo album creation applications

image viewers

image catalogs

many more image viewing and editing solutions

Graphics Mill for .NET is an ideal component for creating different kinds of photo imaging applications. The essential features for this kind of applications are highlighted below:

Support of various formats:

JPEG, PNG, GIF, WBMP, TIFF, BMP - read and write

PCX, PSD - read only

PDF, SWF - write only

Capability to load (as well as save) images from various sources: files, streams, arrays

Fast Thumbnail Extraction

Many Image Editing Algorithms (Effects and Corrections)

Metadata

Color Management

Extended Pixel Formats (16 bits per channel)

Composite Print

Graphics Mill for .NET can also help with printing and pre-print processing operations:

CMYK Images Support

Advanced Color Management

Industry Standard File Formats

Document imaging is one more field where Graphics Mill for .NET can be successfully used. If you are creating such kind of applications, you can use the following benefits:

1-bit Images Support

Strong TIFF File Format Support

Write-Only PDF Support

Windows and Web Controls Designed to Display Documents

What's New in Graphics Mill V5?

Graphics Mill Pro supports x64 platform.

Graphics Mill is now available in two editions: Graphics Mill Standard and professional. See the 'Graphics Mill Standard vs. Pro Comparison' document in the 'Evals and Downloads' Section of this product page to see the differences.

AVI Processor Add-on and Media Processor Add-on is available with Graphics Mill Standard version. There is no need to pay additional cost for these add-ons any more.

Advanced PSD Add-on is included into cost of the Graphics Mill Pro version.

All Graphics Mill assemblies are rebuilt for .NET Framework 2.0. .NET 1.1 is not supported any more

Graphics Mill can render formatted text. The text can be marked up with special XML-like syntax. It allows for rendering portions of multiline text with different justification, font and color settings. This feature will provide the customers who develop pre-print solutions with flexible text-rendering tool.

Graphics Mill supports multi-core calculations for resize and interpolation algorithms. It analyzes the platform during start-up of application and does calculations in the most effective way.

Extra channels can be extracted and saved to TIFF image format.

Graphics Mill Pro supports Adobe color management engine. This feature is important for those customers who care about quality of color management in their software.

Red-Eye Removal tool was moved to the Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll assembly.

What's New in Graphics Mill V4.5?

Possibility to extract and save individual blocks to Adobe Resources.

Improved multi-line text support:

Possibility to retrieve height of the multi-line text block rectangle when it is drawn.

Possibility to horizontally align multi-line text to both edges (justify).

What's New in Graphics Mill V4?

New Media Processor Add-on : It allows to read video files of different formats and extract thumbnails of specific video frames. Also, it allows to get metadata for video and audio files (title, artist name, length, etc).

Windows Forms Controls

Added new Windows Form control called Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.MultiLayerViewer

Multiple images can be loaded into the control

Various vector objects can be loaded into the control, including:

Rectangles

Ellipses

Text

Polylines

Polygons

Vector object appearance (color, fill) can be modified in run-time

Extensible architecture - you can create any custom objects you can imagine

All objects (both images and vector objects) can be moved, resized, rotated, skewed. Resize can be proportional or arbitrary. Certain operations can be disabled (e.g. you can allow to move and resize, but disallow to rotate, etc).

Multiple layers can be added to the control. Each layer can hold multple objects

Layers can be easily hidden, swapped or removed

All objects on the control can be easily merged into a bitmap

The content of the control can be serialized and deserialized (i.e. saved to a file, and then restored)
