This is a *must* have for anyone that wants yo extend the supported image formats of their .NET applications. Using the FreeImage library you can open many new image formats including... BMP, Dr. Halo, ICO, IFF, JBIG, JNG, JPEG / JIF, KOALA, LBM, Kodak PhotoCD, MNG, PCX, PBM, PGM, PNG, PPM, Photoshop PSD, SUN RAS, TARGA, TIFF, WBMP, XBM, XPM.

FreeImage can do more than just read images, it can also write them, but this example just shows you the quickest and easiest way to open an image using FreeImage. For more information on FreeImage, visit the web site,
