This has a fluent API which allows you to easily chain methods to deliver the desired output. This library contains no web specific componenets so is suitable for both desktop and web applications. - -e.g. - - // Read a file and resize it. - byte[] photoBytes = File.ReadAllBytes(file); - int quality = 70; - ImageFormat format = ImageFormat.Jpeg; - Size size = new Size(150, 0) - - using (var inStream = new MemoryStream(photoBytes)) - { - using (var outStream = new MemoryStream()) - { - using (ImageFactory imageFactory = new ImageFactory()) - { - // Load, resize, set the format and quality and save an image. - imageFactory.Load(inStream) - .Resize(size) - .Format(format) - .Quality(quality) - .Save(outStream); - } - - // Do something with the stream. - } - } - -ImageProcessor.Web.dll -====================== - -**ImageProcessor.Web.dll** contains an ASP.NET HttpModule which captures internal and external requests automagically processing them based on values captured through querystring parameters. - -Using the HttpModule requires no code writing at all. Just install the package references the binaries relevant sections in the web.config will be automatically created. - -Image requests suffixed with querystring parameters will then be processed and **cached to the server - up to 12,960,000 images** allowing for easy and efficient parsing of following requests. - -The parsing engine for the HttpModule is incredibly flexible and will **allow you to add querystring parameters in any order.** - -Installation -============ - -Installation is simple. A Nuget package for the full web version is available [here][1] and the standalone library [here][2]. - - [1]: http://nuget.org/packages/ImageProcessor.Web/ - [2]: http://nuget.org/packages/ImageProcessor/ - -Alternatively you can download and build the project and reference the binaries. Then copy the example configuration values from the demo project into your `web.config` to enable the processor. - -Usage -===== - -Heres a few examples of the syntax for processing images. - -Alpha Transparency -================== -Imageprocessor can adjust the alpha transparency of png images. Simply pass the desired percentage value (without the '%') to the processor. - -e.g. - - 60% alpha image - -Brightness -================== -Imageprocessor can adjust the brightness of images. Simply pass the desired value (-100 to 100) to the processor. - -e.g. - - 60 brightness - -Contrast -================== -Imageprocessor can adjust the contrast of images. Simply pass the desired value (-100 to 100) to the processor. - -e.g. - - 60 contrast - -Crop -==== - -Cropping an image is easy. Simply pass the top-left and bottom-right coordinates and the processor will work out the rest. - -e.g. - - your cropped image - -Filters -======= - -Everybody loves adding filter effects to photgraphs so we've baked some popular ones into Imageprocessor. - -Current filters include: - - - blackwhite - - comic (requires full trust) - - lomograph - - greyscale - - polaroid - - sepia - - gotham - - hisatch - - losatch - - invert - -e.g. - - classic polaroid look - -Flip -======= - -Imageprocessor can flip your image either horizontally or vertically. - -e.g. - - horizontal - vertical - - -Format -====== - -Imageprocessor will also allow you to change the format of image on-the-fly. This can be handy for reducing the size of requests. - -Supported file format just now are: - - - jpg - - bmp - - png - - gif (requires full trust) - -e.g. - - your image as a gif - -Quality -====== - -Whilst Imageprocessor delivers an excellent quality/filesize ratio it also allows you to change the quality of jpegs on-the-fly. - -e.g. - - your image at quality 30 - -Resize -====== - - your resized image - -Will resize your image to 200px wide whilst keeping the correct aspect ratio. - -Remote files can also be requested and cached by prefixing the src with a value set in the web.config - -e.g. - - your resized image - -Will resize your remote image to 200px wide whilst keeping the correct aspect ratio. - -Changing both width and height requires the following syntax: - - your resized image - - -Rotate -====== - -Imageprocessor can rotate your images without clipping. You can also optionally fill the background color for image types without transparency. - -e.g. - - your image rotated - your image rotated - -Saturation -================== -Imageprocessor can adjust the saturation of images. Simply pass the desired value (-100 to 100) to the processor. - -e.g. - - 60 saturation - -Vignette -====== - -Imageprocessor can also add a vignette effect to images. - -e.g. - - your image vignetted - -Watermark -========= - -Imageprocessor can add watermark text to your images with a wide range of options. Each option can be ommited and can be added in any order. Just ensure that they are pipe "|" separated: - - - text - - size (px) - - font (any installed font) - - opacity (1-100) - - style (bold|italic|regular|strikeout|underline) - - shadow - - position (x,y) - -e.g. - - watermark - -Internally it uses a class named `TextLayer` to add the watermark text. +For full documentation please see [http://jimbobsquarepants.github.io/ImageProcessor/](http://jimbobsquarepants.github.io/ImageProcessor/)
