Aurigma Graphics Mill 2.0 is a high-performance software that provides components for image processing tasks such as loading/saving files, enhancing, transforming, displaying, reducing colors, combining images, and drawing. It supports popular image formats, and is quick and efficient with memory.
Graphics Mill 2.0 is an essential imaging component that provides a comprehensive suite of features such as loading/saving popular formats, applying effects, drawing shapes and text, and utilizing color management. This component can serve as a strong foundation to develop professional imaging software.
While many imaging component vendors switched their focus to the .NET market, Aurigma recognized that ActiveX still reigns as the predominant platform for desktop applications, thus continuing to support this market.
Features of Graphics Mill 2.0 include fast and memory-friendly algorithms, support for loading/saving numerous file formats, color management with the ability to load/save embedded ICC profiles, and convert color spaces with ICC profiles. The component can reduce colors to 2-256 colors with predefined or adaptive palettes and various dithering methods, combine images, and display a progress bar.
Graphics Mill 2.0 also provides advanced image correction features for adjusting HSL, brightness/contrast, levels, channel balance, etc. Plus, it includes various artistic effects such as buttonize, emboss, glow, mosaic, shadow as well as filters like blur, edge detect, median, and sharpen.
For developers who require low-level access to pixels, Graphics Mill 2.0 offers this feature to create fast custom effects. Drawing is also possible with this component, including the ability to draw lines, curves, rectangles, ellipses, text (which can be outlined), and change pen/brush parameters. The component includes two drawing engines (GDI/GDI+), and developers can get text extent.
Additionally, Graphics Mill 2.0 provides controls and dialogs such as a scrollable viewer control, rubber-band select/zoom, zoom in/out display, and scale-to-gray method for 1-bit images. The component boasts an open/save dialog featuring image preview and basic file info as well as a color picker dialog. Furthermore, a powerful demo app (with source code) is available as a great starter kit.
In summary, Graphics Mill 2.0 is a versatile and powerful component that every developer developing imaging software should have in their toolbox.
