ExactImage is a fast C++ image processing library. Unlike ImageMagick, it allows operation in several color spaces and bit depths natively, resulting in much lower memory and computational requirements. Some optimized algorithms operate in 1/20 of the time ImageMagick requires, and displaying large images can be as fast as 1/10 of the time the "display" program takes. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: A fast image convolution method was added for certain matrix operations, as well as an accelerated Gaussian blur operation based on the new base code. Other 8 bits-per-channel matrix convolutions were accelerated as well. The black and white thresholding was changed to use the new code and optionally avoid stray pixels. Adjustments in the HSL colorspace were fixed for non-color, pure gray images. The edisplay viewer was fixed to correctly display images with alpha channel with the latest Evas versions. The build system was fixed for systems where not all optional codec libraries are available.
