ImageTOOLSca is a package containing 2 applications, ImageVIEWca for image viewing and processing, and ImageHEADca for viewing FITS and EXIF headers without having to opening the actual image.
This software was initially created as a lightweight viewer for FITS images and other image formats, after I started to use the Artemis 285 camera. Most programs supporting FITS are too complex and slow for "on and off viewing". The second motivation for this software was to provide useful processing features that are otherwise available only in large, complex and expensive software packages, or simply not at all.
