Chasys Draw IES is a suite of image editing applications including a layer-based image editor with animation, icon editing support and super-resolution via image stacking (Chasys Draw IES Artist), a multi-threaded image file converter (Chasys Draw IES Converter), a fast image viewer (Chasys Draw IES Viewer) and a RAW camera file processor (Chasys Draw IES raw-Photo). The whole suite is UAC aware and is designed to take advantage of multi-core processors, touch-screens and pen-input devices.

Chasys Draw IES is built to adhere to three core principles, which I call the "three pillars" of Chasys Draw IES:
• Character: No photoshop imitations here
• Performance: Fast, efficient and stable
• Innovation: New techniques and out-of-the-box thinking

The adherence to these principles is the reason why it is said that once you go Chasys you will never go back.

The suite is coded in a blend of C/C++ and assembly, and currently consists of four major applications:

Chasys Draw IES Artist
This is a full-fledged image editor with free-style layer support and many other cool features. It is the flag-ship product in this suite. With Chasys Draw IES Artist, you can easily create cool designs, edit photos, animate, create icons, print, scan, and do a lot more.

Chasys Draw IES Converter
This is an image files cross-converter with a multi-core kernel. This converter was designed specifically to take advantage of dual, quad and multi-core processors up to 32 cores. On such processors, the speed of conversion scales up with every additional core.

Chasys Draw IES Viewer
This is an image viewer and browser that's been optimized for maximum speed. It allows you to go through your pictures quickly and offers you a variety of features such as rotation for both stills and animations.

Chasys Draw IES raw-Photo
This is a RAW format import and processing application. It allows you to import RAW format files from your digital camera and apply custom processing to them for maximum output quality. The result can then be exported to Chasys Draw IES Artist for further editing if need be.
