Core Image Tools

By Lino Bailey

Description

Over 100 code files of powerful image editing tools, presented in the simplest user interface. Like most workshops, you use several tools to accomplish a task. Core Image Tools is a large toolbox to reach into, to accomplish many complex effects, one simple step at a time. Lightweight yet powerful: Edit, enhance, resize, rotate, and add effects to your photos/images from the palm of your hand, while you're on the go, or also from your desktop/laptop. Multi-platform: Use the same app across your devices - iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Vision. Super-simple workflow: Pick a Photos image, apply an effect, tap save - done! Want more? Pick that saved image, apply some other effect to it, tap save - done! Loop the image through as many edits/effects as desired and always have a hardcopy in Photos of each step along the way. Plus you'll always have your original, and never have had to type a single filename throughout the entire process. Resize Images: ACTUALLY resize images, not just crop or zoom them. Also, you can ADD color/transparent/semi-transparent pixels to any edge (or all edges) of an image to resize it, or offset it, as well. Flip/Mirror: Need to quickly mask/mirror a brand name out of your selfie? Flip/mirror an image, horizontally and/or vertically, with one tap. Smooth: Use 'Selfie Smoother' to iron out a few wrinkles, de-focus skin blemishes, or smooth out other unwanted details. Line/Edge Drawn tools: Make an image look as if it was drawn/sketched using an ink pen, pencil, charcoal, colored pencils, colored chalk, light-pen, watercolored, wax-scratched (scratch-art), or made entirely out of dots/square pixels/points/hex pixels/or crystalized. Bump Distortion: Kids of all ages (Mom? Dad?) love to swell up, or shrink down, faces and parts of people - give dad a superhero chin, a sibling one big eye and one little one, a bubbled alien-forehead of a friend - endless fun. Wish you had a smaller nose - shrink it. Wish you had bigger biceps or shoulders - pump 'em up. Wonder what implants would look like - find out. Zoom in on, and bring attention to, any feature in an image, even for technical uses, like highlighting a capacitor on a PCB, or a component of a wiring schematic. Overlay Images: Including resizing, repositioning, and rotating them. Overlay your logo or business card over an image. Also, you can make an entire image of a transparent, or semi-transparent color (use 'Image Of A Color') and overlay that over your image, adding a color filter effect to the entire image. Chroma-Keyers (3 types): Remove Green-screen/Blue-screen (or any color) backgrounds from images - make transparent overlays out of them. Checkerboard: Make checkerboard designs - just pick your colors, including clear/transparent. Blurs: Gaussian Blur, Zoom Blur, Motion Blur, & other blur effects (Glow/Bloom, Gloom, etc.). 3D/Graphics: Make textures/shaders, tile them, rotate them, make normal/bump maps from them for enhanced lighting effects. Mirrored/seamless tiles, multicolored gradients (linear and radial, and gradients scale perfectly and tile infinitely from one small image - very efficient). Color and Light Adjusters: Many options - Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation; Exposure and Gamma; Vibrance... even an Opacity Adjuster. Try 'Dark Document Enhancer' on a dark document or scan you want enhance. Grayscale Images: Select from 5 grayscale modes each honed for specific imaging challenges. Animated Image Player: Play, pause, slow down, speed-up, and reverse animated images. Kaleidoscopes: Like kaleidoscopes? Oh yeah!!! Gotcha covered there! Over a dozen types. Infinite possibilities just from one image. Developers - make App Icons, Buttons, and Radio buttons.
