Graphics Mill™ is a comprehensive imaging SDK geared for web application (or any client-server application) and desktop application development. Be sure to read how Graphics Mill for .NET™ helps build Photo Imaging, Print Imaging, Document Imaging and other imaging solutions. Graphics Mill is available in 2 packages, Pro and Standard. Standard version is suitable for building basic imaging solutions, while Pro is best for developing more advanced products. Please see the comparison chart to check the features that both versions have to offer.

Graphics Mill™ comprises three parts:

• Core class library - a set of classes (non-visual) that provide core imaging functionality: loading/saving images, applying transforms and effects, converting pixels between different color spaces, drawing shapes and text, etc.
• Windows Forms controls - a set of controls for desktop Windows applications. These controls enable you to display an image, zoom it, pan, select a portion of an image, as well as print it.
• AJAX controls - a set of AJAX-based web controls for a great web GUI for image display and edition. Featuring fast no-postback data retrieval and on-demand background loading, AJAX controls ensure prompt response to all user actions.
