| | | VB PhotoShop clone. Various image effects - rotation, flip, fade, color manipulation, fish-eye,swirle etc plus various filters - soften/sharpen/custom etc. A lot of undocumented staff including using MSOffice graphic convertion filters, pure VB calling dll functions by its pointers, assembly language inside VB and much more!

Hello guys!
Thanks for voting! Some
notes:
1. Running in IDE this code is
extremelly slow, but when compiled with
Fast optimization and checking all
advanced tabs it's almost as fast as
commercial/C samples.
2. Code was
tested on w98/IE5.0/MSOffice_97. Since
I used a lot of undocumented staff,
some functionality may be lost on other
versions, especially 2000/XP. It was
reported that MS Office Export filters
doesn't work on w2000/MSOffice2000 -
seems sEatStackSpace trick doesn't
work. Now I'm working on fixing this
prb.

I gave you a 5, probably more so for
the very useful tid bits that you
didn't mention. Your tweaks on the
Common Dialogs were exceptional and I
wish I were the one that figured how to
use the shared graphic file filters.
For me this was probably one of the
more useful pieces of code I have got
off of here. Who cares about the bugs
here and there. Good Work and Thanks!

FYI, there are many more filters
available in XP, that your code picks
up. Importing works well, but haven't
had much luck with exporting. When I
play with it more I'll give you better
info. I did find you can copy some of
filters from XP to Me, make the mods to
the registry and what I have tried
works fine.

Hello sblosser
Thank you for
interesting this code. I'll be glad
give you all credits if you'll find a
way to use Export filters in 2000/XP.
Unfortunatelly, this staff is totally
undocumented - I couldn't find anything
over the NET. Most recent doc about
Import filters dated by April 1992(!) -
you can find it in Dr. Dobbs archive.
Though all declarations there are 16
bit, I could replace them with 32bit
equivalents and found almost all staff
by experiments.
As for Common dialog
extencion - I simply forgot to
mentioned it :) Let say, this is 'much
more' :)
For those who interesting -
there is a trick in this sample showing
how to subclass common dialog and use
additional VB Form as template to
extend ComDlg functionality (preview,
additional controls etc).
Thanks and
regards

hi there!
ark, look here for clsASMpic
1.0, realtime image processing of even
large pictures in VB using inline
assembly:

...also watch out for
code by robert rayment, really
fantastic stuff!
gx, buggy

Hello buggy!
Your class is really nice
and gave it 5 globes. But my goal was a
bit different - I want to show pure VB
image processing (though I tried make
it as fast as possible) with easy to
understand algorithms. I also use
inline assembly, not for speed but for
"impossible" (as MS claimed) task -
calling function by pointer.
BTW, I
have a "clone" of my
CallApiByPointer/Name -
CallApiFromArray which any dll as byte
array and allow call any function by
it's offset. If you're interesting, you
may contact me at
ark@msun.ru

Ark
PS. Many
thanks to all who voted me!

Arkadiy, i was about to report that
this code is "borrowed" from RealVBCode
but then YOU are the original author
:-)) Nice one! Especially the work on
the Aldus imp/exp filters! Btw, do you
think Page Maker filters will work with
your framework?
</wqw>

Hello Vlad. Thanks for responce and
voting. I think you mean "FreeVBCode",
not "RealVBCode" (though I won't
suprise if you found my samples
anywhere else - they spread over the
NET withou my permission :)). I've
posted it twice to allow more ppl learn
low-level image processing with VB.
As
for Page Maker filters - here is a list
of filters I've tested:
'MS Office
(all works
fine)
BMPImp32,CDRImp32(Corel Draw
version ~6 or so), CGMImp32,
DRWImp32,DXFImp32, EMFImp32, EPSImp32,
FPX32, GIFImp32, HPGLIm32, JPEGIm32,
PCDImp32, PCXImp32, PICTIm32, PNG32,
TGAImp32, TIFFIm32, WMFImp32,
WPGImp32
'Paint Shop Pro (all works
fine)
CDR32, CMX32, DRW32, DXF32,
GEM32, HPGL32, WPG32
'Corel Draw
(v.9)
'All seems don't work
correctly
Assuming all above, seems
this technique shouldv work with PM
versions 2-5.

EXCELLENT!, but there is a few
errors...
| 12/16/2002 11:04:43 PM:Ark
Hello luke
Please, comment which
errors did you find?
| 12/18/2002 8:40:51 AM:{ pHroZeN GeeK }
u did a great job ark... this code
should be on top of this months list..
| 12/20/2002 8:23:57 PM:Chris Seelbach
An interesting application, and well
presented. :)
| 3/5/2003 12:37:09 AM:Tanner Helland
Great work, Ark. The MSOffice
interfacing is very clever and
well-written. Hats off too, for doing
it without any good documentation to
refer to :) Those MSN articles can be
pretty messy...
| 3/7/2003 2:39:17 PM:Michele_Garneri
Good tool.
but dont save
images!!
Because??
| 4/15/2003 8:34:07 AM:Ark
Hello All!
Thanks for
supporting!
Michele, probably it
doesn't save images because of using
MSOffice filters for saving. Just
switch off those filters and save as
bmp.

Ark
