The ImageKit Control: A comprehensive image processing control containing various properties, methods, events, and interfaces. This control enables you to scan, display, and edit images and to apply effect filters, draw on images, print and manipulate image files. The ImageKit Control combines the functionality of 6 different controls from earlier versions of the ImageKit: the Common Control, the Display Control, the Effect Control, the File Control, the Print Control and the Scan Control.
