Code Samples
Here is a very simple JPG to BMP conversion routine using the ImgSource API. And
here it is using the CISImageEx C++ class.
More C++ sample code can be found at the C++ tips and tricks page.
We also have some C# samples, and some function declatarions for Vb.Net.
ImgSource version 4.0
The latest and greatest version of ImgSource, expands on what ImgSource has always done
well and adds many new features. Here a list of changes from v3.0.
Why ImgSource?
There are a wide range of image processing libraries available: some are very expensive, some are totally free; some
are very simple, some offer everything imaginable. How do you choose?
Because we want people to pay for ImgSource we need to ensure that there is a reason for them to pay. We need to
be sure that bugs are fixed, that new functionality is added when there is demand and we need to ensure that people
can use ImgSource to do what they need to do. In short, support. ImgSource has discussion boards,
personalized email support, and almost constant updates. Functionailty is added at a pace that few can keep up with,
bug fixes are almost instantaneous and, there is a community of developers who are already using ImgSource that
can help you get started. We try to make ImgSource worth every bit of your registration cost, and we think we succeed.
ImgSource help file
Also, you can download the ImgSource help file.
This is an interactive help file that contains ImgSource function definitions for C/C++, VB and C#, sample code,
help articles for VC and VB, and more.

Add-ons and extensions
ISEffects
More image effects are available with ISEffects. This is an
add-on for ImgSource. It contains dozens of fun (and useful) image effects.
Note:
If you are using the static libraries (ie. not the DLL), ImgSource 4.0 requires ISEffects 4.0.
Previous ISEffects static library versions will not work with ImgSource 4.0 static libraries.
You can mix ImgSource and ISEffects DLLs freely.
Format extensions
These libraries add support for more file formats. They are known as "ImgSource extension libraries", and are tightly integrated into
ImgSource's source and destination manager system. These libraries require ImgSource 3.0.2.0 or higher.

Visual C++ source
You will have the option to purchase the source on the RegSoft order form. Cost to purchase the full source to ImgSource is $100 in addition to the normal registration fee. The source code license is a 6 month license. During that time, you can download the source as often as you wish. After 6 months, you must purchase another source code license.
If you have already registered ImgSource and wish to purchase the source, send us an email.
Projects for the following compilers are included in the source package:
- Visual C++ 6.0
- Visual Studio .Net 2003
- Visual Studio .Net 2005, 32-bit and x64.
- Visual Studio .Net 2008, 32-bit and x64.
Static library option
This library is also available as a set of C/C++ static .LIB files. (2 LIBs, release and debug). This is the same code that is in the ImgSource DLL. The .LIBs require the same key that the DLL does and the pricing is the same as for the DLL. Static library use requires that you have VC5 Service Pack 3 or higher, VC6, Visual Studio 2003, or Visual Studio 2005 for Win32 and x64.
Be sure to download the correct libraries ! The libraries will only work for the compiler they were built for.
