URLs: imageman-activex, imageman activex, imagemanactivex, data-techniques, data techniques, datatechniques

Add sophisticated image processing and scanner support to your application. ImageMan components are optimized for Windows and include support for loading, saving, displaying, printing, converting, and processing (50+ special transitional effects with complete control over speed, granularity and more) images in more than 35 of the most common raster and vector formats (JPEG, TIFF, BMP, RLE, DIB, EPS, GIF, PNG, TGA, IMG, DXF, PCX, DCX). It also includes built-in database support for writing and reading image data from memory. Available as an ActiveX OCX and DLL for maximum compatibility with your environment.
