Effects | here you can find all standard effects, you can apply on image (or in most cases to it's part). |
Colors | here are all effects working with color values of image(or part of image) |
RGB->... | changes order of RGB to selected order |
Make greyscale - lightness | creates copy of image in grey colors - uses Lightness from HSL colorspace of image. This is better way than following function... |
Make greyscale - sum | creates copy of image in grey colors - uses algorihtm COLOR=(R+G+B)/3... |
Negative | creates negative of image |
Remove greyscale colors | removes greyscale colors from image and replaces them using selected color (usable for OCR programs) |
Isolate RGB/CMYK color item | Isolates selected channel from proper colorspace of image (RGB or CMYK) to relevant color channel of image (and removes other channels) - all is happening on virtual level! If you have selected isolation to greyscale colors, channel will be isolated to grey colors. |
Isolate HSV/YUV color item | Does the same as previous function, but isolates H, S, V or Y, U, V - all channels are isolated to greyscale (because they doesn't contain color informations in style of RGB or CMYK :( |
3D Button | creates 3D button using specified parameters |
Blur | blurs image using standard blur |
Contrast | using this, I think very useful, function can you change contrast of image (eg. difference between light and dark parts of image). Higher input values will give image more contrast and lower values vice versa. |
Decolorify | Decreates maximum number of color intensities for single channel (it's a good method for decreasing of colors count) |
Dim image to black | decreases lightness of image |
Emboss | creates a 3D sculpture from image |
Enhance image | increases contrast between pixels by selected ratio |
Explosion | 'Explodes' pixels so image is looking like it was ... exploded :-) |
Edge detect | finds edges in image. The more is edge sharp, that more will be output color more bright... |
Flip image | flips image (image will be upside down) |
Interlace | creates lines in selected part of image (using specified direction and separation) - it's usable eg. by resizing of images |
Make gradient | creates gradient of selected type |
Median filter | This functions is very good for removing noise from images - but it has one small fault - it removes thin lines from image too. When you're applying it, you can use strenghts between 3 and 33, but number must be a multiple of 3, otherwise it will be rounded to nearest multiple of 3... |
Mirror | creates mirror copy of image |
Motion blur | blurs image using motion in specified direction, count of moves and step of moves) |
Noise | adds noise to image |
Oilpaint | creates oilpainting from image by bluring it using many small areas. |
Pixelize | blurs selection using rectangles of specified size. After effect is applied, you will be able to see just the avarage colors that were under rectangles... |
Rotate left | rotates image left |
Rotate right | rotates image right |
Shake | moves each line to left or right by random amount and then each column to up or down (also by random amount). Place that is not be occupied by line or column is colored using selected color. |
Sloped colors | Blurs image so it looks oil-painted image after it was sloped by a temper (an then it flowed down) |
Threshold | This function is there for decreasing count of colors in image to two, using lightness of pixels of image. You can set threshold value and two colors, which will be used to highlight two different intensities. For algorithm description, check this. |
User defined | This function enables user to define his own filter - read this manual for more informations. |
Palette | Here you can find all functions working with images' palette (some function are working just for images with bpp smaller or equal to 8) |
Count colors used | Using this function you can retrieve count of unique colors used in image. |
Edit palette | If image's bpp is smaller or equal to 8BPP, you can change colors from palette using this function - in dialog box can you double-click on color you want to change and change it to other... |
Histogram | This functions is showing user color structure of image - here is the descrition |
Export palette | If image's is smaller or equal to 8BPP, you can export palette in one of the following formats: |
Jasc format | Format of palette used in program PaintShop Pro¡¡« |
UniView format | Binary format of palette - first byte is (count_of_colors-1) (so there can be 1 to 256 colors), and then sequentialy R, G and B channels of each palette entry... |
Pen | sets pen as actual tool |
Color picker | sets color picker as actual tool |
Text | sets text as actual tool (works just for 24-bit images) |
Selection | sets selection as actual tool |
Change color depth | using this function you can decrease count of colors in image (or increase). More informations can you get here. |
Resize image | using this function you can change size of image. More informations can you get here |
Change color attributes | if you want to change attributes of colors for a selection, use this function. More informations can you get here |
Pen attributes | after executing this function a dialog box will appear. You can set pen's type, size and color in it. |
Select pen color | using this function, you can select color of pen. |
