Graphics Mill SDK enables developers to build applications with imaging capabilities, for web and desktop. The SDK ships with WinForms controls for desktop applications and AJAX controls for interactive web imaging solutions.
Feature highlights for the Pro version:
x64 support
Multi-CPU and multi-core optimization
Extensive format support
*TIFF (thumbnails from multiple pages, all compression methods)
*JPEG (lossless compression, subsampling, replace image region without full recompression)
*GIF (Animated GIF resize, read and write)
*PNG
*PDF (write only)
*SWF (write only)
*PSD (read only, rasterize layers)
*AVI (read and write)
Rich image metadata support: IPTC, XMP, EXIF, Adobe Image Resource Blocks
Advanced color management
*16 bit per channel color space
*CMYK color space for all appropriate image formats
*Color space conversion in real time
*Embedded color profiles support
*Black point compensation
Image correction
*Hue/Saturation/Lightness correction
*Brightness/contrast correction (automatic and manual)
*Levels tone correction (automatic and manual)
*Curves tone correction
*Custom LUT
*Histogram equalization
*Channel balance
*Sharpen
*Unsharp Mask
*Median Filter (removing noise/scratches)
Advanced printing - optimally fit multiple images to page
Advanced resize - fast and quality resize algorithms
Advanced on-the-fly thumbnailing
