ImageMan.Net Features

Load, process, display, modify, print and scan images in many standard formats.

• Support for reading and writing many standard image formats including TIFF, BMP,FAX, DIB, RLE, PCX, DCX, JPG, JPEG2000, PNG, GIF, WMF and EMF
• Access to image format specific properties via image attribute classes.
• Builtin support for filters including Emboss, LaPlace, Edge Detection, Sharpen, Blur and user defined.
• Supports manipulating all images at their native bitdepths.

Robust architecture simplifies development while low level classes provide ultimate control.

• Image processing classes include support for Rotation, Scaling, Antialiasing, Sharpening, Adjusting Color/Brightness/Gamma, cropping, merging and more.
• Image Collection class simplifies dealing with multi page or multi frame images.
• Supports reading and writing images to and from files and .Net streams.
• Fully supports images at their native bit depths including indexed color and 1 bit images.
• Supports the .Net Printing architecture for easy printing of single or multi page images.
• Object oriented architecture simplifies development while low level classes provide ultimate control.
• Fully managed assemblies supporting X-copy deployment with no COM code or dependencies.

The imaging controls you want and need as a professional developer.

• The Winforms Viewer Control provides user configurable builtin mouse tools for Select, Zoom In, Zoom Out, Rectangle Zoom and scrolling; Automatic Antialiasing display of 1 & 8 bit images; Rubberband class can be programmatically manipulated or created using the mouse tools. The Viewer Control supports loading and saving images to and from disk, a .Net stream and/or a database using the ADO.Net classes.
• The Winforms Thumbnail Control loads thumbnails from a directory on disk or from an ImageMan image collection, integrates and synchronizes with the ImageMan Image Viewer control making it easy to build thumbnails of multi page images and exposes user configurable thumbnail size and drawing attributes.
• The Winforms OpenImageDialog Component provides built-in image preview window with antialiased image thumbnail while its filter list is automatically populated with support image export file information. OpenImageDialog is backward compatible with the .Net framework OpenFileDialog class.

Other ImageMan.Net Features:

• Complete code samples in C#, VB.Net, ASP.Net.
• 100% Royalty Free Winforms distribution.
• Context Senstive online help in Visual Studio environments.
• Compatible with .Net Framework 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5.
• Works with the ImageMan.Net Twain controls to easily add scanning support to applications.

ImageMan.Net Document Edition Features - includes all the features above plus:

Robust OCR including annotation support and .NET annotation controls.

• Document Processing Commands including Blank Page Detection, Border removal, Despeckle and more.
• Support for reading and writing WANG imaging format annotation data.
