Update 3


The problem with the new conversion code has been fixed and the output is looking very nice. If I could have found it before spending several days porting the original code it would have been even better.

Finished the code to apply 3×3 convolution matrices to the output image, and replaced the old sharpening code with a matrix. Eventually the user will be able to enter a custom matrix to be used (i.e. for blurring/alternate sharpening/edge detection/mean removal etc). I’ve also got an unsharpening mask working, but it’s a little disappointing (2xoriginal – blurred, right?).

Aside from that, there’s lots of little things done that are hardly worth mentioning (drag drop image onto the form/executable, resizeable form so you can go full screen or use it in 800×600 mode, validation…)

    Feature suggestion: Fill phrase. Fill the background with a continuously repeating copy of the user’s chosen word or phrase (say, the person in the picture’s name), then punch out the light parts of the source image with space characters.

    I got the idea when trying to input my name into the Character ramp box of the old version.

    Feature suggestion: ordered dithering (at the ascii level). Just for fun, might be able to create some wierd effects with it.

    Thanks, noted. I’ve never really looked into ordered dithering before, but ASCII Rasterbation sounds interesting.
