Note: The app is no longer supported, so it is now impossible to purchase the application. Nonetheless, you can still download it from Softpedia and use it with the limitations listed on this page

ImgSource is a set of components that enables you to add over 400 functions into the applications you are developing. These functions are available as DLL files and are compatible with numerous programming environments, including, but not limited to C/C++, VB, C#, MC++, PowerBasic, Delphi and Microsoft Access. Take note that the library it is also available in C/C++ static library form for use with C/C++ in VC6 or VS.Net.

Among the functions that can be integrated into your apps, you can count read and write for image files such as TGA, PSD, WBMP, WMF, TIFF, PVX, JPG, BMP, AMF and EMF. Not only can you set the source to grab the data from the disk, but also from the memory and perhaps, a set of I/O routines that you supply.

Other noteworthy functions that can be integrated in image or multimedia manager applications are quantize, zoom, adjust brightness, contrast, resize, color depth modification, rotate, crop, so on and so forth. Moreover, you can generate an 8-bit image from an RGB image using any palette, convert between 16-bit per component and 8-bit per component, apply a look-up table (LUT) to an image, flip buffers vertically and horizontally and perform many FFT and morphological operations.
