Detailed Description:

"The second class library deals with images and image processing and allows us to create images that come from GIF and JPEG files. This class library also allows us to filter or manipulate images, such as cropping and red-green-blue (color) mapping. Finally, this class library allows us to work with audio files: playing them, looping them, and stopping them."
