Aspose.Imaging for .NET 24.6 (DLLs-only) helps you upgrade your existing image processing applications and build new ones from scratch with features such as HEIC image conversion and more on your favorite platform.

Support for HEIC Images

This C# imaging API release allows you to work with the HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Container) format, a well-known choice for mobile photography. Users can now load and convert HEIC-format images to various formats supported by Aspose.Imaging for .NET.

ExifData Management Boost

Users can transfer ExifData (image metadata) among supported formats during image export for robust image information using version 24.6 of the Aspose.Imaging for .NET library. 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);
    }
}

Supercharged DICOM Processing

Enjoy dynamic DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) image processing within your C# and VB.NET imaging applications running on Windows, Linux, or macOS and ensure precise 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");
