ImgSource

ImgSource is a cool set of components that lets you add more than 400 functions to the apps you're building. Even though the app isn't supported anymore, you can still download it from Softpedia. Just keep in mind there are some limits, so check out what those are.

Compatibility with Different Programming Environments

This library works well with lots of programming languages! You can use it with C/C++, VB, C#, MC++, PowerBasic, Delphi, and even Microsoft Access. Plus, if you're using C/C++, there's a static library version available for VC6 or VS.Net. So no worries about compatibility!

Image File Functions

One of the best parts about ImgSource is its ability to read and write various image files like TGA, PSD, JPG, BMP, and more. You can pull data from your disk or memory and even set up I/O routines that you provide yourself. How neat is that?

Awesome Image Manipulation Features

ImgSource isn't just about reading files; it also lets you do amazing things with images! You can zoom in and out, adjust brightness and contrast, resize images, change color depth, rotate pictures, crop them—basically anything you need for image editing!

Advanced Image Processing

If you're into more advanced stuff, ImgSource has got your back! You can create an 8-bit image from an RGB one using any palette you want. Need to convert between 16-bit and 8-bit images? No problem! It also allows you to apply look-up tables (LUTs), flip buffers both vertically and horizontally, plus execute various FFT and morphological operations.

Wrap-Up

If you're looking for a powerful tool to enhance your applications with rich multimedia features without breaking the bank—since it's free now—ImgSource could be just what you need!
