From v8, ImageEn supports image loading of WIC formats. These are codecs included in Windows to display images, e.g. in Explorer. You can install extra codecs to add support for more formats to Windows and ImageEn.

Most WIC formats are supported by ImageEn natively, so the main ones of interest are:

- RAW camera formats: Allows you to support RAW without including a DLL such as ielib.dll

Enable this via CameraRawEngine:

Windows seems to include the codecs for most RAW formats, but they also offer a codec pack (which I don't think is needed):

- HEIF/HEIC Image Format: This format is popular on Apple devices. You need to install the codec from:

- AVIF Image Format: For this format you will need the AV1 Video Extension:

- Other: There is also a commercial codec pack available:
