Description

"This component came about because I wanted to display 4000 x 4000 x 256 colour bitmaps (about 16MB in size). Using a TBitmap and a TImage took ages to load the images as a whole load of disc-swap file activity took place. The answer was to use a memory mapped file and the StretchDIBits API call which takes a memory pointer to the bitmap data, and doesn't realise (of course) that it's a memory mapped file. Load times and resource used drastically reduced."

ImageKit is a GPU based image processing, graphics rendering framework for Delphi developers. ImageKit hides the details of low-level graphics processing by providing an easy-to-use application programming interface. ImageKit provides dozens of built-in filters. You set up filters by supplying key-value pairs for a filter’s input parameters. The output of one filter can be the input of another, making it possible to chain numerous filters together to create amazing effects. Features:

• GPU based image processing, graphics rendering framework
• dozens of built-in filters and thousands of possible chains
• VCL, GDI and GDI+ interoperability
• avanced GPU based image view control

Description

The Interpolating Bitmap Resampler is a routine used to resize (zoom or shrink) an image smoothly without loss of image fidelity. Resampling is a common term used to describe the process of resizing an image by interpolating pixels in the new image from pixels in the original image. When an image is scaled up, it is said to be "super sampled" and when it is scaled down it is said to be "sub+sampled". There are several methods of interpolation which can be used to resample an image. This library implement the two most common methods, "nearest neighbour" and "bilinear" interpolation, as well as 5 other methods. New methods can easily be created and used with the library.

Description

DIB components are a set of native Delphi VCL (Visual Component Library). These components are based around a very fast DIB drawing engine (Device independent bitmap). The drawing engine utilises inline assembly language for optimum speed. Such speed is required in order to accomplish the following functionality:

• Real-time zooming
• Real-time rotation
• Real-time alpha masking
• 3 x 3 filter matrice application (blur, sharpen, emboss, etc).

As all components are based on a base class (TDIBControl), any component within the DIB component package has one or more of these features.

Description

Curves lets you adjust the tonal range of an image by adjusting any point along the 0x96255 scale. This feature lets you create a variety of interesting tonal and color effects.

Found as a feature in many high-end photo editing applications, this Component lets you adjust the tonal range for the RGB channels and separate R,G,B and Alpha channels too. Outputs a Look-up table (TLUT8) for each RGB, Red, Green, Blue and Alpha channel.

Current version (2.0) lets you draw free hand to define the curves.

Extremely easy to set up; create an Input TBitmap32 for the component and assign a TImage32 or any other TBitmap32 as output. Saves and loads custom data to and from disk.

Now also Available for Kylix 3 (Check home page for updated demos and upgrades from v1.1).

TImageENPaintEngine is a powerful, fast, easy to use and versatile Paint Engine for the ImageEn graphics library.

Works in conjunction with ImageEnView or any descendant (i.e. imageEn).

TImageEnPaintEngine is a delphi class that descends from TThread. It relies on a separate thread in order to offer high real-time painting performances.

The engine has been specifically designed to interact with any TImageenView component. By simply calling the StartPainting / StopPainting methods, you will be able to provide powerful digital painting abilities to the users of your image editing application.

A very detailed demo project will show you how to program and customize the engine's behavior at its best.

Main Features:

• Beside using the default round brush, it's possible to load one from any picture file.
• Works in different modes: Color, Texture, Retouch (Sharpen, Blur, Lighten, Darken, Dodge, Burn, Saturate, Desaturate), Clone, Erase, History tool
• Supports ImageEn's Layers and Selections.
• Automatically scroll the imageenview component when mouse is near the window borders.
• Very Easy to use and setup
• Supports Pressure Sensitive Tablets
• Highly precise and fast
• Supports many blending modes and you can set the Transparence level you need.
• Supports Dithering for high quality painting.
• Ability to add your own custom retouch function

Extended properties for PDF / multi page PDF:

• zoom
• resolution
• pagecount
• currentpage.

NEW in version 1.2:

• faster loading due to optimized page counting for PDF > 200 pages
• gostscript API rewritten to dynamic loading
• eglish manual included
• required runtime files for ghostscript dll included
• path to gsdll and /lib and /fonts folders now customizable

Description

TRGBCurves is an interactive component to create curves for color and exposure correction in digital images. It can be used very easily and effectively in every Delphi application that requires enhancing images for any purpose. It is especially very powerful if used in conjunction with the ImageEn graphics library.

The component provides convenient methods to apply color and luminance correction curves to both full color (24/32 bits) and grayscale  pictures. RGB Mode and individual channel mode are supported.

"Curve Correction" is used in professional image editors, such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Paint Shop Pro.

The component can be just dropped on a form and requires very few code to apply the curves to a digital image or to preview and apply changes using a TImageenView component.

No coding is required to create the curves, the component knows how to do that by itself. The user clicks on the diagram to set a new curve point, can move it around and remove it, interacting with the mouse to change the curve appearance. A simple right-click removes a point. The user can also add/remove and move points by code of course.

Changes to a TBitmap, TIEBitmap, TImageEnview image are applied just calling a method of the component.

Beside creating curves by points it is also possible to create mathematical curves, based on formulas, for example it easy to make a gamma correction curve, knowing the gamma correction formula.

The Component is also able to display histograms from any picture.

TUniBitmap is a Bitmap component created according to Herbert J. Beemster's free TLZRBitmap at first and there is implementing the capability of reading bitmap from resources linked into .EXE for 16 bit, too. This is according to Borland's code from D3. Another capability read bitmap direct from a TPicture, TIcon and HIcon, TBitmap and HBitmap and TMetafile. The Unibitmap component now is creatable direct from TStream and File giving FileName as String. Some Delphi.TBitmap's procedure are also implementing to function for serve a Delphi TBitmap. Two other component is supplemented to read ZSoft's PCX and static GIF (or the 1st frame of animated one). A 32 bit version of updated imageCompress program is also included, which can read *.bmp, *.dib, *.gif, *.ico, *.wmf, *.blz, *.jpg, *.pcx, *.clp, and *.lbm images and convert them to two way compressed BLZ-file compressing the full image or only the palette and pixel data.
