Hi,

We are developers of photo-watermarking software and we want to use use your ImageEn library for new version of our software. We are ready to purchase it, but we tried your demos and previous free version of ImageEn and have some question. Our basic needs are to create text layer with anti-aliasing text, apply effects to it (shadow, emboss, glow, background box). Do your library have options for anti-aliasing of text, we need to place text on layer and move it keeping anti-aliasing working. Does your anti-aliasing works via alpha channel and will it be correct after moving? Do you have shadows, emboss, glow effects for text? And also can we set anti-aliasing level? We found that if we active shadow and label in your sample project Burn Copyright, here is lack of anti-aliasing(but checkbox is enabled!).
We can send screenshots with this problem, just give us direct E-mail.

Can you provide assistance in this questions?

Regards, Roman Yarovoy

Hi,
please try Annotations\Vectorial example. Antialias is enabled for default, as you can see. Anyway it is not possible to set the antialias level.
Objects antialiasing is applied "on drawing" the object self. So for example, when the text (or any other object) is burned into an image, antialias is applied.
There aren't effects on text. All ImageEn effects are applied to bitmaps (raster images).

Thank you for reply. Do you have plans to implement text effects? I will try vectorial example. So if I want to make blur for layer with text, I should rasterize it? Will antialiasing and blur pixels work via alpha-channel? So it will be correct after moving layer.

At the moment there aren't plans to implement text effects.
Yes, if you want to make blur you have to rasterize text. Antialiasing doesn't work via alpha-channel.
