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.

The new image iterator and codegen was implemented for RGBA (RGB + Alpha) image data. The RAW camera file support was vastly improved by updating the 2 year old bundled dcraw copy as well as surrounding C++ glue code. Support for extracting the thumbnails of RAW files was implemented. The TIFF codec was improved to not to try to decode RAW images written as defective TIFF files.
