PolyImagePro Library:
The PolyImagePro and PolyImage2 Image Processing Libraries are ActiveX components that
provide image viewing and manipulation operations through the ImageBox
and Utilities controls.
While PolyImagePro and PolyImage2 have very similar features sets, PolyImagePro offers
a higher degree of functionality that makes it more suitable for professional level image
processing.
Additional features in PolyImagePro include:
- Color management based upon International Color
Consortium (ICC) profiles. The ImageBox2 control offers the capability of
loading and saving ICC profiles in JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, PSD, and TIFF image
formats. An "auto-profile" mode is available for processing profiles during
image display, as well as manual and proofing application of ICC profiles.
- EXIF editing capabilities along with the capability to load and save standard and custom
EXIF information in JPEG, JPEG 2000, PSD, and TIFF image formats. Includes a new MergeMetadata method that can insert EXIF and IPTC
information into existing files without a decompress/compress cycle.
- IPTC editing capabilities duplicate those of the
PolyImage2 library and add the capability of reading/writing custom
information strings.
- Comprehensive support for image processing on 16 bits per color component images. Only a
few processing routines in PolyImagePro are restricted to 8 bits per component images.
Includes the new LoadImage16 method to load a 16 bits per
component image contained in an in-memory array.
- Provides for individual access to Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha channel data with the GetImageChannels
and LoadImageChannels methods. Access to both 8 and 16
bit per component channel data is provided.
- Advanced resampling filters available for image
manipulation and display, including Sinc, Lanczos, Mitchell, Cubic, and
Bilinear.
- Significant load and save time reductions for JPEG
2000 images, including very fast reduced resolution loading for thumbnails.
PolyImagePro's JPEG 2000 processing is among the most sophisticated
available.
- Both ActiveX and standard DLL interfaces available from the same DLL. PolyImagePro's
entire range of image processing and display capabilities is available without the
complexities of ActiveX/COM.
