25 2003/04/23 This maintenance involves the scan control. When scanning with the manufacturer's user interface suppressed, you can now adjust contrast in grayscale
24 2003/04/11 Corrects a problem with the Cr and Cb parameter values in the YCCSpline function.
23 2003/01/29 Reduces noise caused by using the Effect Control's SetToClipBrd method (DLL : IK5SetToClipBrd)
22 2002/10/10 Reduces the amount of memory required when scanning an image.
21 2002/06/20 Fixes some problems with the ErrorStatus property when images files are not loaded correctly.
20 2002/04/01 The ImageKit5 now supports the retrieval of images from Canon Digital Camera USB TWAIN Driver Ver3.9.0 (PowerShot Series or IXY DIGITAL Series)
19 2001/12/25 1. RGBGamma and YCCGamma output has been corrected.
2. Fixes a problem with processing a Mosaic within a specified area.
3. Corrects a problem with ConvertColor where dots appeared when decreasing color using dither (error diffusion).
4. When saving a file whose size was larger than the available space on the drive, a file of 0KB is no longer produced.
18 2001/11/30 The display control's MouseMove event can now distinguish when more than one button on the mouse is being pressed during a mouse move.
17 2001/09/13 Fixes a problem that occurs when using a digital camera with the UI suppressed. Depending on the camera, only the first image could be loaded even though the camera contain multiple images.
Also, an error message was added to the Scan Control and the IK5GetErrorStatus.dll. This error is displayed when trying to load images from a digital camera that does not contain any images.(UI suppressed only)
16 2001/08/08 1. In the FilePath Property of the Thumbnail and Slideshow Controls will now accept a string longer than 255 bytes.
2. Improves on FixNo. 15. where a black line appears on the right and top of a resized image.
15 2001/07/05 Fixes a problem with the Effect Control's Resize Method (In DLL, IK5Resize) where a black line appears on the right side of an resized image.
14 2001/06/22 Added functions that retrieve the number of 0 palette and 1 palette pixels from a 1 bit color image. (ActiveX: GetOneBitPalCount; DLL: IK5GetOneBitPalCount)
13 2001/05/01 Repairs a problem using ConvertColor to change an image to 8-bit greyscale. Module 11 repaired this problem but it was effective for images less that 64KB in size.
12 2001/03/27 Repairs a problem from the module in FixNo. 8 where a black line appears at the top of scanned images.
11 2001/03/05 Fixed the following problems:
1. There was a difference in file sizes when the same image was saved in the PNG format using Save and SaveAs. (There was no problems loading these files despite the difference in file sizes.)
2. When the fixed palette was set to true, the image file was corrupted when it was changed to 8-bit greyscale.
10 2001/02/06 1. Repairs problems saving images in the BMP 4 bit compression format.
2. With large images, palette color can now be reduced propery to 1, 4, or 8 bit color
9 2000/11/17 1. The Print Control's Arc, Line, and Polyline methods (and the DLL's IK5Arc, IK5Line, and IK5Polyline functions). Now the spaces between dotted and dashed lines are transparent when the transparent property (variable) is set.
2.Fixes problems with the Scan Control. When scanning without displaying the manufacturer's UI, depending on the scanner, the indicator was not displayed eventhough it was set.
8 2000/10/26 1. The scanning transfer modes have been modified from Native Mode Transfer to Buffered Memory Mode Transfer. (If the Twain driver does not support Buffered Memory Mode Transfer, then the Native Mode will be used.)
