π EXACTIMAGE(7) π
okay bestie, welcome to the ExactImage Manual β yes, that's the manual name, section 7, and it's giving "the library that carries the whole squad." let's get into it π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
exactimage β it's an image processing library, periodt. π
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
so, ExactImage is a fast C++ image processing library. that's the whole vibe. but here's the part that makes it iconic: unlike a lot of other library frameworks out there, it lets you operate in several color spaces and bit depths natively. and the way that pays off?? low memory and computational requirements. it's efficient, it's humble, it ate. π₯

ExactImage supports these file formats, and yes we're listing every single one because nobody gets left behind:
- BMP π¦
- Digital camera RAW π·
- GIF β¨
- JPEG π
- JPEG2000 π
- OpenEXR π
- PNG πΈ
- PBM π
- RAW π·

- SVG β read-only, partial support. so like, she reads, but she doesn't write, and she's only doing part of the job. we love a limited queen π
- PDF β write-only, and it allows embedding JPEG and JPEG2000, vector geometry and fonts, and writing multiple pages. okay that's actually a lot of range?? π
