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.

Econvert now has a command line option to draw vector text and select the foreground and background color for text and vector drawing, including human readable name presets. The ditherizers now support multiple channels, e.g. dithering RGB or RGBA images (as opposed to just 8 bit gray data), and were optimized for speed. The font handling code was refactored.
