The binary PGM and PPM formats store 16-bit samples most significant
byte first. The decoder and encoder read and wrote them in native
little-endian order, so every wide sample was byte swapped. This
corrects the swizzled colors reported for 16-bit PPM images.
- Reverse the sample byte order in BinaryDecoder and BinaryEncoder.
- Fix integer division in the max pixel value upscale factor.
- Add exact-value, reference-decoder, upscale, and round-trip tests.
- Add a 16-bit PPM test image and its Magick-anchored reference PNG.
- Document the binary decoder and encoder in full.
Introduce the `Plus` alpha composition mode and add support for ColorDodge, ColorBurn, SoftLight, Difference, Exclusion, Hue, Saturation, Color, and Luminosity across straight-alpha and associated-alpha pixel blenders. The generated blender/function tables and selector logic were updated to expose the new combinations, and tests were expanded to cover mode mapping, expected blend results, and parity between straight and premultiplied alpha paths.
Drops the `AntialiasThreshold` field/property from `GraphicsOptions` and updates related XML docs to reflect the simplified antialiasing behavior. Clone logic and test coverage were adjusted accordingly, including removal of threshold assertions and comparer checks.
Route BlendWithCoverage calls through AssociatedAlphaPorterDuffFunctions when TOperator.IsAssociatedAlpha is true, across all SIMD widths (scalar, Vector256, Vector512) and all BlendWithCoverageFunction overloads.
Tightened icon frame bounds validation to treat `ImageOffset == available` as invalid, preventing non-empty resources from starting at the exclusive end of the icon stream. Added a regression test that mutates an ICO directory entry to this boundary value and verifies both `Decode` and `Identify` throw `InvalidImageContentException` with the expected message.
Fixes EXIF serialization when `ExifLong8Array` downgrades to `ExifDataType.Long` but still stores values as `ulong`. `ExifWriter.WriteValue` now handles `ulong` inputs in the `Long` branch by writing 32-bit values, and a BigTIFF metadata test verifies mixed in-range values are written correctly as two little-endian `uint`s.
Update TIFF metadata creation to build ImageMetadata after IFD tag processing and copy root-frame EXIF/ICC/IPTC/XMP profiles to image scope via deep clones. This keeps image-level metadata in sync for downstream single-frame encoders while preserving independent mutability between frame and image metadata. Tests now cover preserved ICC handling and verify image-level profile presence, equality, and non-shared instances for EXIF/XMP/IPTC, including ignore-metadata behavior.
Handle CgBI chunks consistently when they appear after IHDR by routing both identify/decode paths through a new `ReadCgbiChunk()` method that immediately validates already-read headers. This prevents invalid CgBI images from bypassing compatibility checks when chunk order is unusual. Added PNG tests that reorder the first two chunks to confirm incompatible CgBI headers now throw in both identify and decode flows. Also renames `ZlibInflateStream` to `ZlibInflateReader` and updates EXR/PNG/TIFF call sites for clearer intent.
Use exact zero determinant checks in `TransformUtilities.IsDegenerate` for `Matrix3x2` and `Matrix4x4` instead of epsilon-based near-zero detection, preventing valid transforms from being treated as degenerate during extreme downscales. Added a regression test for issue #3156 to verify resizing large square images (1024/2048) to 1x1 succeeds and preserves the expected pixel.
Slice the destination span to source length in `Vector4Converters.RgbaCompatible.FromVector4` so SIMD/scalar tails never process spare destination capacity. Expanded pixel-format tests to run across hardware intrinsic configurations, added dedicated RGB24/BGR24 bulk conversion coverage with sentinel checks for out-of-range writes, and relaxed associated-alpha half packing assertions to treat NaN payload differences as valid IEEE behavior.
Introduces `RgbaHalf` and `RgbaHalfP` plus bulk pixel-operation support, updates AOT seeding, and routes EXR decoding through the new scaled conversions. Also fixes scaled/native range handling for half, SNORM, and signed integer pixel formats, and expands tests for the new layouts and edge cases.
Introduce explicit associated/unassociated pixel conversion APIs across `IPixel` and `PixelOperations`, and rework associated-alpha operations to use representation-aware bulk hooks. Update pixel implementations, converters, blenders, and generated code to consistently apply `Premultiply`/`UnPremultiply` semantics, plus SIMD-backed conversion paths for half and signed formats.
Fix codec and processing behavior where alpha handling was incorrect or lossy (notably TIFF/EXR decode/encode, convolution/resize/filter/normalization/dithering paths), and add targeted tests for these cases. Expand AOT compiler roots (including EXR and additional pixel/processor coverage), add a new public API test project for pixel-operations extensibility, and add broad alpha-representation and quantization regression coverage.
Refactors `Color` to track both exposed and stored alpha representations, adds `ToScaledVector4(PixelAlphaRepresentation)`, and adjusts pixel conversion paths so associated formats preserve canonical values without unnecessary unpremultiply/reassociate loss. This also updates equality/hash behavior to compare canonical scaled values.
SIMD helpers are split into `MultiplyAddEstimate` vs `FusedMultiplyAdd`, with byte-to-float normalization updated to match scalar rounding exactly across vector widths. JPEG converters, resize kernels, and Porter-Duff/associated-alpha blending paths were updated to use the appropriate helper for either fast estimate or strict fused rounding semantics. Tests were expanded substantially (including exhaustive component/alpha cases and fused-order checks), incidental test cleanup was applied, benchmark comment snapshots were refreshed, and one black/white reference output image was updated.
Introduce Rgba32P, Bgra32P, Argb32P, Abgr32P, NormalizedByte4P, and HalfVector4P.
Add representation-aware scalar and bulk conversions, optimized pixel operations, and associated-alpha blending across all Porter-Duff modes. Include comprehensive conversion, layout, blending, and performance coverage.
KernelSamplingMap.CorrectBorder sliced the offset span by
radius * kernelSize, so bounds narrower than the kernel radius threw
ArgumentOutOfRangeException (GaussianBlur of a 130x8 region with
sigma 10, for example), and bounds exactly equal to the radius let
Bounce offsets escape the sampling range by folding an overshoot of a
full extent to min - 1.
Route bounds no larger than the radius through an exact per-mode
correction that folds each offset into range: clamp for Repeat,
periodic reflection for Mirror and Bounce, and true modulo for Wrap.
The single-pass corrections are unchanged for larger bounds.
