Summary of LEADTOOLS Raster Imaging Technology

LEAD's basic Raster Imaging functionality includes:
  • File Format Support - Read, write and convert image files in over 150 of the most popular standard image formats, including JPEG, GIF, TIFF (including G3/G4, LZW, CMYK, JTIF, many more), PNG, BMP, MODCA/IOCA, PCX, TGA, and many more!

     
  • Image Processing - Use more than 200 digital filters and transforms to process images (or selected portions). Smooth, sharpen, edge detect/enhance, modify brightness/contrast/gamma, change hue and saturation, red-eye removal, unsharp mask, add noise, resize and rotate images using various resampling techniques (including bicubic), and much more.

     
  • Colour Conversion - Convert between colour modes, like 24-bit true-colour, 8-bit indexed, 1-bit black/white, and many more. Changing the colour mode changes the amount of data stored per pixel, which alters an image's memory/disk requirements.

     
  • Compression - Compress images using a wide variety of compression algorithms, including JPEG, CMP, LZW, G3/G4, Huffman, run-length, and many more . LEAD offers comprehensive support for compression schemes found in standard raster file formats, as well as high-performance proprietary compression technologies that outperform the industry standards.

     
  • Image Display/Effects - Render images or selected regions to display device while controlling position/scaling, resample method (normal/bilinear/bicubic), brightness/contrast/gamma, colour-reduction/dithering, image(source) and device(destination) clipping, and more. Navigate large images using a small pan-window, browse a group of images using a thumbnail viewer, apply 2000+ paint transitions and effects between viewed images.

     
  • Scanning via TWAIN - Control image acquisition from any device (scanner, digital camera, etc) which supports TWAIN. Use device's built in user-interface or create your own.

     
  • Printing - Print images or selected regions while controlling position/scaling, halftoning/dithering. Print multiple images and text to a single or multiple pages.

     
  • Database Imaging - Store images (any supported file-format/compression-technique) to a variety of databases, including SQL, Oracle or any database which supports ODBC, OLE DB, or that can be bound via VB data control connections.

     
  • Common Dialogs - Imaging Common Dialogs provide a set of common dialog boxes that combine Windows Common Dialog functionality with LEADTOOLS imaging functionality. Common dialogs are provided for every LEADTOOLS image processing functions plus FileOpen, FileSave, Colour Resolution, Image Processing/Filtering, Effects and more. You can specify your own String and/or Text, as well as handle Language Customisation – This is a great feature for globalizing your software.

     
  • Internet - Includes functions to load images from URL's or memory streams. All LEADTOOLS products include ActiveX controls and Pro products include COM objects that can be used to extend functionality on a server or in Internet Explorer.
     
  • Digital Paint (Only Included in Raster Pro) - A must for anyone who wants to add digital painting functionality to their application. With LEADTOOLS' Digital Paint feature, a developer can create an entire image editing or design application, or simply add pieces of those types of functionality into an existing application.
