support, ImageGear is the ultimate answer for all your imaging needs. And,
ImageGear 2000 provides many enhancements over the previous version. These
enhancements, driven by customer input, make the product even more usable

These enhancements include:

faster rotation and resize functions.

*	Especially optimized Read and Write for multi-page documents.
