Hi Roy,

Great work. I have also ported your curves tool (partially) to C++ and added possibility to apply curve through any shape (free hand stroke, ellipse, spline, text, etc...). Works like a charm.

Thanks,
Siniša

Spetric,

Are you going to share your handy work here?

Just curious to know.

On your web site I found the tool NiGulp. It allows one to use Photoshop filters! That is great. Can you share as to how you managed to achieve this and whether the software is developed 100% in Delphi or some other language.

I am personally looking for a way to load Photoshop filters in the software that I am developing so I am very much interested in knowing as to how you manage to load and handle Photoshop filters.

Regards,

Yogi Yang

Hi Yogi,

Unfortunately, I do not program in Delphi, but in C++.
I have posted a link to static library for Photoshop host, but I must check if link still exists (my site was compromised and I was forced to reset complete site). If it does not exists, I will upload it again.

However, there is another source code based on it (with Delphi "headers"):

http://meesoft.logicnet.dk/
Check the paragraph "8fb Plugin Interface".

HTH,
Siniša

Done!



I hope I packed it correctly. Here is a demo exe of shadow caster program (Super Duper Shadow Caster) with source code (C++). Example included:

attach/spetric/2015392583_shadow_caster_distrib.zip
3999.55 KB (updated)

When program is started, example image is loaded.
To get a first impression, follow these steps:
1. Press "Load example selection" button and proceed to Step 2. (tab)
2. Press "Create shadow control" and proceed to Step 3. (tab)
3. Press "Drop shadow" button. Shadow is drawn (I hope so).
4. Press "Undo last" button to undo last operation.
5. Set blur radius to some value, set different intensity values and pefrom "Drop shadow" again to see the difference.


Now, you can go back to Step 2. and increase number of folding lines.
Create new set of shadow controls, go to Step 3. and move lines across the image. When mouse is over control point, cursor changes to hand-point. Drag control points around to cast different type of shadows. You can cast multiple shadows as well (one by one).

Note:
In Step 1. you can only draw lasso selection with mouse.
In Step 2. you can only pan image with mouse.
In Step 3. you can only move control points.

If there are some problems with demo, please let me know.
Good luck,
Siniša

Edit: blur radius is actually obsolete, as same thing can be achieved with feather value. Also, using feather value will adjust source rectangle size, while blurring the mask will leave it as is, which yields to cutting of blurred part of mask on the source rectangle border. Maybe to add mask downsizing according to blur radius.

GDIPlus Image Drawing
by William Miller/Adirondack
Full Source
Compiled with DelphiXE7, but is expected to compile with Delphi 2010 or higher.
Price: Free


GDIPlus Image Drawing features drawing pixels, ellipse brush, rectangle brush, opacity, transparency, rectangles, filled rectangles, round rectangles, filled round rectangles, ellipses, filled ellipses, erase brush, drawing lines, filling alpha and filling color using GDIPlus and layers. The demo shows how to draw and how to use backbuffer drawing with all of the above tools with GDI plus and ImageEn.

Only ImageEn and standard Vcl controls were used in the demo. The brush drawing tools are not threaded so they are not nearly as fast as commercial products such as the Paint Engine that has improved painting functionality and threading for ImageEn by www.nwscomps.com.

Nice Bill!

FYI, addition of text will be much cleaner in the next release (on the git repository now) that supports alpha blending canvases:

A little ad hoc app. to perform 3x3 adaptive convolution on 24-bit images (c++).



1. Desired filter (selected from combo box) is applied to gray-scale copy of original image (8-bit depth).
2. Gray-scale image pixels are loaded in appropriate floating-point array and normalized to 1.
3. Original image channels are also loaded into separate byte-type arrays.
4. Gray-scale array data at position [i,j] (neighbor pixels) is used as 3x3 convolution kernel.
5. Convolution is performed for each pixel and all channels.
6. Resultant image is copied to output.

Post Messages Demo
by William Miller/Adirondack
Full Source
Compiled with DelphiXE7, but is expected to compile with Delphi 2010 or higher.
Price: Free



This application demonstrates how to post messages to a form which displays this message after the main form becomes visible... a runtime created OnAfterShow event if you will.

This application also demonstrates how to post a message to create a new user created runtime TImageEnVect event. In this case, the runtime created event could be considered a "OnAfterNewObject event". This event is executed every time a object is added to TImageEnVect. When the "OnAfterNewObject event" is executed, a modal form appears which asks if the object should be added. If the user replies "Yes" no action is taken. If the user replies "No" the new object is removed.

LoadFromFileOnDemand With Annotations
By Adirondack Software & Graphics
Full Source
Price: Free

This simple application was developed to test a potential bug in TImageEnMView to try to determine why ImageEnMView1.MIO.Params
[idx].ImagingAnnot.ObjectsCount always returns 0. Although I was unable to find out what was causing the problem, the application may be useful
to those developers who want to easily display vectorial objects in TImageEnVect as thumbnails in TImageEnMView.

FX filter, Symmetric Nearest Neighbour
by Roy M Klever
Full source and demo exe
Written in Delphi 2010







I like this filter but it gets quite slow at larger radiuses. If you figure out how to improve the speed I sure would love to hear about it.

Hi Roy,

At a first look, you can get rid of Sqrt function used for calculating variables d1 and d2 (distance), because it's expensive and you repeatedly call it inside 4 nested loops.

As variables d1 and d2 are used only for comparing (if d1 < d2 then begin), calling Sqrt is not necessary (you can compare d1^2 and d2^2 as well).

Hei Siniša,

Yes, that made quite a difference. Even if the result changed a little it is still acceptable. Thanks for the idea! I used this formula so I did not need to use LAB color space, which is quite slow and also would require sqrt in the processing of color comparing.

My attempt at a Clarity routine
Delphi 2010 - Source and Exe





In this demo the blur value is scaled so it can be hard to see the effect if you use large images. The demo is just for testing.

I do not have LightRoom so I am not really sure what the Clarity function do but from what I have found on the net I came up with this.

Hope you find it useful

Roy,

Interesting, thanks for posting. Did you translate and use some of the RawTherapee code by any chance?

Here's an explanation of what the Lightroom's Clarity slider actually does:

Hi Uwe,

No I did not use any code from RawTherapee. I do not know that program at all. Actually I could not find any code samples of how to implement Clarity except one that I did not like in VB.

If I come up with a better solution or find some code explaining me the procedure I gone add it here but for now I am just guessing.

Well I did a lot of testing but none gave me the result I wanted. This was the closest I could get for the moment.

Do you have any resources of how it is implemented?
