- eroded, faded, or irregular border, framing, painting on canvas
- copying entire image or selection to clipboard, pasting clipboard content as new image or into existing image, masked copy and paste operations
- color reduction by thresholding or dithering, grayscale conversion, posterization
- color replacement and filling, color gradient, threshold
- embossing in user-defined direction
- image encryption and decryption
- intensity range compression
- flipping, reflecting, reversing
- colorizing, tinting
- brightness, contrast, gamma, saturation adjustment
- color counting, file checksum calculation, histogram functions
- cropping, auto-cropping, resizing
- selection masking, intensity range extraction
- color clamping (red eye removal), channel mixing or swapping, RGB adjustment
- perspective adjustments, skewing, loss-less and lossy rotation with and without clipping
- point, ellipse, rectangle, polygon, intensity range and magic wand selection
- edge enhancement, high pass and sharpening filters
- layer blending, blur, brightness, saturation and contrast gradients, user defined convolution filters
- logical operations, minimum and maximum filters, rectangular and concentric mosaics, column and row shearing
- sepia toning, solarization
- Laplace, Sobel and other special filters
- twisting, twirling, scrambling, tiling, range of special effects such as oil painting, blobs, fish eye, explode, wind
- unlimited levels of file based undo
For your convenience the control includes built in support for many popular image formats (using included FreeImage library). |
