Aspose.Imaging for .NET 24.6 (MSI installer) offers exciting new features and enhancements to elevate your image processing capabilities on the .NET platform. Developers can effortlessly load and convert HEIC images to a wide range of supported formats and do much more.

HEIC Image Support

The current C# imaging API version enables seamless working with the HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Container) format, a popular choice for mobile photography. With this feature, users can load and convert HEIC-format images to various Aspose.Imaging-supported formats.

Enhanced ExifData Management

Transfer ExifData (image metadata) between supported formats during image export for richer image information using version 24.6 of Aspose.Imaging for .NET. Please refer to the following C# code sample, which highlights how to preserve EXIF data during image export with the KeepMetadata property.

Image EXIF and XMP metadata processing:

public static void ExportWithMetadata(string inputPath, string outputPath, ImageOptionsBase exportOptions)
{
    using (var image = Image.Load(inputPath))
    {
        exportOptions.KeepMetadata = true;
        image.Save(outputPath, exportOptions);
    }
}

public static void RemoveMetadata(string inputPath, string outputPath, ImageOptionsBase exportOptions)
{
    using (var image = Image.Load(inputPath))
    {
        image.RemoveMetadata();
        image.Save(outputPath, exportOptions);
    }
}

public static void ModifyMetada(string inputPath, string outputPath, ImageOptionsBase exportOptions)
{
    using (var image = Image.Load(inputPath))
    {
        if (image is IHasExifData hasExif && hasExif.ExifData != null)
        {
            hasExif.ExifData.UserComment = $"Modified at {DateTime.Now}";
        }

        exportOptions.KeepMetadata = exportOptions is IHasExifData;
        image.Save(outputPath, exportOptions);
    }
}

Improved DICOM Processing

Experience refined DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) image handling within your C# and VB.NET imaging applications and ensure accurate conversions to various formats. Here’s how you can convert a DICOM image to JPEG in C#:

using var image = Image.Load(@"input.dicom");
image.Save(@"output.jpeg");
