Graphics Mill 3.5 is an image processing component developed for the .NET platform. It is ???must-have??? for developing applications that work with images. Whether creating a photo hosting website, a preprint image preparation app, a script, generating web graphics, or any other imaging application, you will find it really helpful.
Graphics Mill is a very versatile component and can be used in wide variety of applications, involving photo, print and document imaging. It consists of three parts:
Core class library - is a set of (non-visual) classes which perform imaging operations: loading/saving images from/to files, applying different transforms and effects, converting pixels between different color spaces, drawing lines, curves, shapes, text, etc.
Windows Forms controls ??“ are a set of Windows controls which leverage using Graphics Mill in desktop Windows applications. These controls enable you to display an image, zoom it, pan, select a portion of the image, print it, navigate through multiple thumbnails, etc.
Web Forms controls - are a set of AJAX-based web controls that provide the user with a great GUI for image displaying and editing. Using these controls you can easily build web photo editors and other kinds of imaging web applications.
