Readme for Forging.lha

The Convolve directory contains some additional convolution matrixes for
sharpening (what else?) images.
The FXForge directory contains:
GravityBlossom_fixed
I changed "if" to "dif" and "ut" to "put". I think it works now.
Web_Background
This lightens images and can tint them for use in web-page backgrounds.
Solorize
This solorizes an image. If all the threshold sliders are evenly set to
about 127 then the image will look like a solorized photograph.
Take the Red channel for example. If you leave the "R Normal/Reverse"
slider at the left end or "0" then all red channels below the "Red
Threshold" setting will remain normal, but any that are higher will be
made negative (r=255-r). If the Normal/Reverse slider is at the right
edge then the darker reds are made negative and the brighter ones
are left untouched.
Shuffle
This one really has no practical use. It was just a test. Basically it
will reorder the pixels into a recoverable pattern. For example, if you
start with a 640 by 480 image and set the X and Y sliders to 10, then
you will end up with a new image that has 100 smaller images of your
original picture (10 rows by 10 columns). To restore the image (without
using UNDO) you would set the X slider to 64 and the Y slider to 48.
Notice that 10 x 64 = 640 and 10 x 48 = 480. The X and Y values must be
evenly divisible into the image's width and height respectively or weird
things will happen to your new image. Now if you had first entered 64
and 48 you would have ended up with an unrecognizable image, but one
that could have still been restored to its original state by then set-
ting X and Y to 10. Well, that's pretty much all it does.
