With LEADTOOLS for WPF, you can take the following steps to add special effects to images, buttons, or other items. You can add LEADTOOLS effects to Windows objects, Windows effects to LEADTOOLS objects, or any combination of effects to almost any object.
There are two groups of effects: Leadtools.Windows.Media.Effects, and PresentationCore.
