The newest version of our popular image resizing component offers several features you have been waiting for: Picture-in-picture support. An image can be drawn on top of another image via the method Jpeg.DrawImage. Opacity and transparency parameters are provided. GIF support. With the expiration of the LZW patent in the US on June 19, 2003, the GIF format is finally in the public domain (at least in the US). AspJpeg now supports this popular format along with JPEG, BMP, and PNG. Jpeg.Binary property. Now a thumbnail can be sent directly to the database as a BLOB without creating a temporary copy on disk.
