- 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.
