WIC Codecs Use LEAD's 40+ encoders and decoders using WIC to access, display, process, save and print

The Windows Imaging Component (WIC) framework, provided with Windows Vista and Windows XP Service Pack 2, provides a single, common set of APIs that allow developers to create applications that process images, with no prior knowledge of specific image formats required. Once an image format codec is written for WIC, and installed on a machine that supports WIC, you get system-wide support for that format in all applications that use WIC or WPF. This means that any application using WIC can access, display, process, save, and print images using a consistent interface for all image file formats.

LEAD has done the work of writing WIC codecs for you. The LEAD WIC-Enabled Codec set provides you with over forty image encoders and decoders that integrate seamlessly with the Windows Imaging Component (WIC) framework.

By registering these, applications that support WIC and WPF (like Vista Photo Explorer) will automatically have access to over forty image file formats. And, when using the Windows Explorer thumbnail view, users will see an actual thumbnail image for all of these file formats, instead of a generic icon.
