ImageMan DLL Suite is a set of 32 bit toolkits for adding sophisticated image processing and scanner support to your Windows applications. The libraries are optimized for Windows and include high performance support for loading, saving, displaying, printing, converting and processing images in the most common raster and vector formats. The ImageMan API provides a compact yet powerful set of properties, methods and events. While the ImageMan high level functions make it easy to create 'image enabled' applications in minutes, the low level functions give you total control over image processing.

Also, you can create your own import/export filters for proprietary formats.
