<h3 style="text-align: left;">Top Fifteen Enhancements in ImageEn v14.2.0</h3>

1. Native PNG and JPEG2000 support is now optional. By default, they are not compiled into your project. To include them, add ieNativePNG and ieNativeJ2K to the uses clause of a project unit (ieNativeJPEG should also be included as it will be optional in a future release)

2. The Debugging Visualizer has been significantly enhanced. You can now modify ImageEn objects, bitmaps and color variables, including editing of images. Also, much more debugging information is output, and keyboard shortcuts are supported
