Top Twenty-Five Enhancements in ImageEn v15.0.0 1. Can now display and edit individual channels (Red, Green, Blue or Alpha) in TImageEnView

2. Heif plug-in with support for Alpha channel and multiple frames, including AVIF saving
3. Significant work on supporting other native pixel formats (1bit, 8bit, 32bit, etc) throughout ImageEn, including many editing operations, conversion and saving
4. Implemented LibRaw 0.22 with support for many more cameras: Canon (EOS R1, EOS R5 Mark II, EOS R5 C, EOS R6 Mark II, EOS R8, EOS R50, EOS R100, EOS Ra), Fujifilm (X-T50, GFX 100S II, GFX100-II, X-T5, X-S20, X-H2, X-H2S), Hasselblad (CFV-50c, CFV-100c, X2D-100c), Leica (Q3 43, D-Lux8, SL3, Q3, M11), Nikon (Z6-III, Z f, Z30, Z8), Olympus (OM-1 Mark II, TG-7, OM-5), Panasonic (GH7, S9, DC-G9 II, DC-ZS200D, ZS220D, DC-TZ200D, TZ202D, TZ220D, DC-S5-II, DC-GH6), Pentax (KF, K III), Sony (ZV-E10M2, UMC-R10C, A9-III, ILX-LR1, A7C-II, A7CR, ILCE-6700, ZV-1M2, ZV-E1, ILCE-7RM5, A7R-V, ILME-FX30), etc.
5. The Every Method demo is now much more powerful with code examples, documentation link, filtering and over 100 more methods

6. AutoConvertFormat property for TImageEnIO and TImageEnMIO allows ImageEn to optionally auto-correct incompatible pixel formats to get the best save result while retaining the image quality and alpha
7. New Image Properties dialog that shows preview, meta-data, map and histogram for an image

8. Many WIC improvements, including automatic image orientation, scaled thumbnail loading and support for all pixel formats
9. Enhanced Slippy Maps and Equirectangular Renderer (for 3D images) with support for scrollbars, mouse wheel and zooming,
10. TImageEnMView Print Preview dialog allows a heading to be specified and styled when thumbnail printing

11. New Layer dialog allows selection and changing of layer type

12. New installer used for improved package downloading, security and styling
13. Many improvements to the documentation, including over 3000 code samples with before/after images
14. Generate Map helper method to create map images by image GPS EXIF or Lat/Long

15. EnableHoverHint property to display the color and alpha value under the cursor in TImageEnView (Also available in Debugging Visualizer)

16. Magnification layers can be now have a custom source, which can be locked when editing with the ALT key
17. New brush types for Painting Tool: Line, Rect, Filled Rect, Ellipse, Filled Ellipse
18. New Wallis Filter algorithm to optimize images without letterbox effect
19. Weighting options for color and alpha gradient fills, e.g. ease in/out, middle-weighted, etc.
20. DrawToBitmap method to draw all images in a TIEMultiBitmap or TImageEnMView to bitmap

21. IEGenerateSampleImage helper to create test images of all pixel formats

22. Complete native localization for Slovak language
23. TImageList can be assigned to a TIEBitmap or TImageEnView
24. Support for TIFF files that contain a single block larger than 2GB
25. Numerous optimizations and fixes from our enhanced unit testing system
