The ImageGear GUI provides a set of common dialog boxes that combine Windows Common Dialog functionality with ImageGear imaging functionality. Dialogs are provided for file opening/saving, color resolution, image processing/filtering, and effects.

The ImageGear GUI greatly simplifies development and saves hours of tedious programming by extending Windows common dialogs to provide imaging-specific capabilities. The component provides professional common imaging dialogs such as image processing, conversion, and special effects. Thumbnail previewing of image changes saves processing time and avoids "undos".

The ImageGear GUI also provides input dialog boxes for the most common ImageGear image processing functions. These dialogs allow you to quickly and easily enable your application to gather input from end-users for the parameters required by the various ImageGear functions. These dialogs can also be used to automatically process the image based on end-user input (thus reducing the amount of code you have to write).

The name of the DLL GUI is igguid.dll. If you use the ImageGear GUI in your ImageGear application, then it is necessary to include this file with your distribution when you deploy your application.

The GUI Component functions are presented in alphabetical order within functional groups.
