Here is list of new features and improvements:
- Added an arbitrary affine and projective transform (see ApplyMatrixTransform class for more details).
- Added JPEG2000 files support.
- Added an ability to apply lossless JPEG transforms. In particular, now Graphics Mill enables you to:
o Apply lossless rotate and flip.
o Recompress only a part of JPEG file. E.g. if you put a watermark at the image, you can just recompress only the part of the JPEG file which is updated and leave the rest intact.
o Edit EXIF and IPTC metadata without JPEG recompression.
- Added GdiGraphics.GetPixel/SetPixel methods which enables you to retrieve or modify a single pixel of the screen or bitmap.
- Added spatial unit converter class (see UnitConverter class for more details).
- Added code samples which demonstrate advanced printing features of Graphics Mill.
- Added a guide for migration from Graphics Mill 2.0 (ActiveX) to Graphics Mill 3.1 for .NET.
- Now histograms can be build also for indexed bitmaps.
- Improved PDF writer:
o Now it can save multiple pages in PDF file.
o Now it supports ZIP compression.
- Improved TIFF reader speed.
- Improved AutoLevels, AutoBrightness, and AutoContrast algorithm.
- Simplified license key embedding process.
- Minor improvements in API.
- Changed behavior of BitmapData.Dispose method: now it automatically unlocks bits.
- Fixed problem with TIFF reader: 4-bit grayscale TIFF files now can be loaded into Graphics Mill now (they are converted to 8-bit grayscale).
- Fixed a problem with an image drawing when incorrect color profile is attached.
- Other minor bugs fixed.
