• Image ingestion from a camera, grabber or HDD/SSD/RAM (PGM, BMP, PPM, JPG, YCbCr, RAW, DNG, byte array, etc.) • Dark frame subtraction (FPN) • Flat-Field Correction (Shading Correction) • White Balance • High quality demosaicing • Noise removal (white noise, luma and chroma denoising) • Color Correction with matrix profile • 8/10/12/14/16-bit LUTs (composite or per-color component) for tone mapping • Color Transforms: RGB->YCbCr->RGB, RGB->HSL->RGB, RGB->XYZ->Lab->XYZ->RGB, etc. • Histograms for raw and processed data • Crop • Rotation (90/180/270 degrees) and flip/flop • Resize (downscale and upscale) • Gamma transform (composite or per-color component) • Sharpening with Unsharp Mask filter (USM) • Realtime output via OpenGL • JPEG compression and decompression • H264 encoder

* It includes a range of filters, arithmetic operations, colour processing, histograms, and geometric transforms. * It supports ten pixel formats, from 8-bit unsigned int to 128-bit complex. As well as the usual JPEG, TIFF, PNG and WebP images, it also supports scientific formats like FITS, OpenEXR, Matlab, Analyze, PFM, Radiance, OpenSlide and DICOM (via libMagick). Compared to similar libraries, VIPS is fast and does not need much memory, see the Speed and Memory Use page.
