Imaging for Windows 2.8 provides the Imaging component for Microsoft Windows XP and Vista.

* Release 2.8 is no longer available and has been replaced by release 4.0

Imaging for Windows® scans paper documents into electronic documents that you can view, edit, OCR, distribute and manage on networks, intranets, and the Internet. Imaging for Windows is the upgrade to the industry-standard document imaging software included in Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, Windows NT and Windows 2000 and is suitable for Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Global 360 Imaging for Windows replaces, and is compatible with, the Wang Imaging for Windows  (wangimg.exe) included in Windows 95 and NT and the Kodak Imaging for Windows (kodakimg.exe) and Imaging Preview (kodakprv.exe) in Microsoft Windows 98 and 2000 (sometimes known as Microsoft Windows Imaging).

Imaging for Windows software eliminates the manual entry and re-entry, printing, photocopying, and distribution of paper-based documents common to much day-to-day work. Desktop scanning and the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software included in Imaging for Windows replace manual entry; and replaces endless photocopying and distribution of documents. Imaging annotation does away with paper memos and stick on notes. Imaging for Windows views TIF and other image formats.

Imaging for Windows also comes with an advanced Flow feature that automates the entire process of scanning, enhancing, converting, routing, indexing, and storing documents, faxes, and network images with a single mouse click. And it supports document image management with ODMA-compliant document management systems through Flow-based image indexing and storage; image check out, editing and check in; and image browsing and search and retrieval.

Global 360 Imaging for Windows was formerly known as Kodak or Wang Imaging Professional or Imaging for Windows.

Key Features of Imaging for Windows

With Imaging for Windows, users can:

• Capture images (as TIFF files) using any TWAIN-compliant scanners to Imaging. (Windows compatible scanners are required). Scanner manufacturers include Kodak, Fujitsu and Canon.
• View or Edit images.
• Enhance scanned documents and images automatically using a variety of tools, including straighten and align page, de-speckle, and cropping.
• Add Annotation to scanned documents and faxes using the colour highlighter, rubber stamps, lines, text blocks, redacting, and sticky notes.
• Display and manage images using thumbnails.
• OCR images using the built-in Optical Character Recognition engine.
• Use Flow to automate the capture, processing, and delivery of images with the click of a mouse.
• Use the new User Input Driver in Flow for image-assisted data entry and batch indexing and tagging of documents and images.
• Use the ActiveX toolkit to develop image-enabled applications. The ImgEdit, ImgAdmin, ImgThumb, ImgScan and ImgOCR  Kodak/Wang OCX (ActiveX) controls are included to allow you to add Imaging for Windows functionality to your software.

Use Imaging for Windows “out of the box” to improve productivity for individuals, work groups, and entire organisations, or leverage its powerful ActiveX controls or the Server Access COM object to create robust custom applications with embedded imaging capabilities. G360 Imaging for Windows ActiveX controls allow developers to add imaging capabilities to software that supports ActiveX, including Visual Basic, Visual Basic 2005 and Visual C++ programs.

Global 360 Imaging for Windows is an enhanced version of the Imaging application that was included in Microsoft Windows prior to Windows XP.

For Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista users seeking the familiar Kodak Imaging for Windows capabilities and for developers who have used the ActiveX (OCX) controls to integrate imaging functionality within applications, Imaging for Windows is for you.

Imaging for Windows makes it easy for you to find, print, photocopy, and distribute paper-based documents.  The desktop scanning feature replaces manual data entry;  the annotation feature does away with paper memos and stick-on notes and replaces endless photocopying and distribution.
