JPEGVIEW.ZIP
(93kb) Contribution from Eberhard Funck: I had found a little 32bit DLL for reading and writing JPEG files. Also the documentation is very good and understandable. Everybody can download the whole documentation, SDK and the DLL. At http://developer.intel.com/vtune/perflibst/IJL/ My Demo show us, how you can decode JPEG files to a DIB image, or encode DIB image to a JPEG file. The header file for this DLL I have translate to GB32. It is in the source code as "App_Jepeg_Header" function. The best of it, you receive color independent datas and not a Handle of a Bitmap only. 07/25/2000Eberhard Funck
