Congratulations with continuing ImageEN development.
This is the best image library I've ever use since 2004. Many popular products use it: FastStone, PicaJet, RoboImport, Daminion - just a few names.
Hope to see the progress in the next directions:
- .NET IEvolution development
- x64 platform support
- safe multi-thread support
A question: does the previous ImageEN team will be involved into the development process (I mean Fabrizio)?
Thanks for your time and for your answers! |

You need to put significant efforts into .NET direction. This market is much larger than Delphi market. And this market will grows. Although there are many .NET image libraries, IEvolution should be very competive solution for .NET.
When I looked for a .NET image graphic library that is able to:
- Render RAW files
- Handle EXIF, IPTC (read/write from JPEG, TIFF)
- Extract built-in JPEG previews from Camera RAW formats
- marketed by affordable price
The only solution was IEvolution.
The main drawback I see in Evo (for me at least) it is not a thread safe.
x64 support will be important for positioning on the market.
Begin with the Market Presentation, not with the Feature list!
Spent 1 hour and write how your product will be presented into the world. And then your product functionality should be much your product positioning.
Like this (Sorry for mine English :):
The most popular .NET graphic engine
is used by Product1, Product2, and 100 other popular graphic programs.
- Built on top of the native image processing library that gives you the best performance
- Thread-safe
- Supports both x86 and x64 platforms
- Read/Write xxx formats
- Read/Write EXIF, IPTC formats
- Support for color management (ICC,...)
- Support for Camera RAW formats (extended by DCRAW based plugins)
...
Bring the Top products that use your library the product home page !
Get interview from software developers and put it also on the visible place of your site. Drop me a letter and I'll answered to your interview question ;)
Don't give up! |

@Codedcolor
We're still deciding on current directions for ImageEn, but please forward any bug reports or feature requests that you have.

@Murat,
I have talked with Fabrizio in past regarding possibilities of porting ImageEn to FPC and other OSs and he told that it would not be possible except for a complete rewrite.

We too from CodedColor.com would like to congratulate Fabrizio and your company. We have been heavy users of ImageEn for almost a decade now. We are anticipating new updates for Delphi, and have a list of requests and bug reports.
We would like to see future Delphi updates, and maybe even a x64 and Mac version, as soon as Delphi for Mac is available (which we expect sometime this year).
Thank you,
CodedColor |

Thanks for the prompt support. And it's great news for me that Fabrizio in the business!
I guess .NET platform has many perspectives than Delphi paltform (in terms of ROI). We switched from Delphi to .NET 3 years ago. And I must to say that IEvolution one of the best libs for .NET (although it's core written in Delphi)
The main reason why I considered to switch to another library is:
- single-thread only (we need to use Locks for multi-thread scenarious)
- x32 (it will be better if you'll had x64 version)
The biggest problem for me is the multi-thread issue! |

Thanks Murat,
You'll be happy to know that we still have Fabrizio working hard on the code 
We will be progressing with further development, though we are still deciding on the direction.
