This software review is about the ASP image component, which offers a variety of editing functions to dynamically resize, create or modify images in a server-side or script-based environment. It provides support for a wide range of image formats, including JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG, PSD, TIF and PCX, and also allows for exporting to PDF.
One of the standout features of this software is its ability to merge images with optional transparency, including an alpha channel. This makes it an ideal tool for adding logos or watermarks to images. Additionally, users can draw text, lines and shapes, and make adjustments to brightness, contrast, hue and saturation. The software also offers the ability to view and edit colour palettes, crop images, rotate and flip them.
Another great feature of this software is its metadata support, which enables users to extract and edit IPTC data, Exif and XMP in JPEG, TIFF and PSD images. The software also retains ICC colour profiles during processing.
Users can read and write images to disk, binary data or database blob fields, or stream images to the browser. This software can also be used in combination with other components such as csASPUpload to edit or resize images dynamically following an upload.
As a COM object, this software can be used in a variety of Windows-based scripting environments, including classic ASP, ASP.NET, Cold Fusion and WSH scripts. A free trial is available, complete with examples, on the company's website. It is also available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
