A library that enables applications built with .NET 2.0 or later to run 3rd party 8bf filters.

• Runs 32-bit or 64-bit filters based on the processor architecture of the host process.
• Supports processing 8 and 16 bits per channel gray scale and RGB(A) images (16-bit processing is only supported with the BitmapSource class in .NET 3.0 or later).
• Exposes the image EXIF and XMP metadata to the filters.
• Supports batch processing filters.

The .NET 2.0 version uses GDI+ (aka System.Drawing) it does not support processing 16-bits-per-channel images, and will convert the image data to the appropriate 8-bits-per-channel format.

The .NET 3.0, 3.5 and 4.5.2 versions use Windows Imaging Component (aka System.Windows.Media.Imaging) to support 8 and 16 bits per channel gray scale and RGB(A) images, the image data will be converted into the appropriate mode for processing.
