Yep, the ApplyFilter&() function of my imageprocess.bm library has also some "sharpen" filters as well as line/edge detect filters and some artistic ones.

I played with most of the filters. They could easily be the basis for a graphics manipulation program. I tested some of them against the filters offered in an old classic graphics program I still use called PhotoImpact X3. Rho's filters are just as good, if not better, than the effects offered in that software. I'm sure Photoshop's are better but that software is just too big and ungainly for simple graphics needs.

Thanks I am intrigued!

LOL, when I was testing the code, it was late in the evening and I had to go get my reading specs to tell the difference between the two.

Rhos filters a awesome! I'd like to add them to my QuadDraw program, next time I update it.

After tinkering with my slow blur code, failing to make it faster, I experimented with layers of _PUTIMAGE images with transparency instead, bypassing the slow POINT/PSET every pixel. Surprised it worked. Not a Gaussian blur, but it looks kind of decent, and is almost instant.

Just like when I take off my glasses! Success? Smile

Cool, you found the fastest implementation of the blurring algorithm, works perfect for me too here Big Grin

Second line put ...
Randomize Timer
... so to have changing pictures...

I didn't because I could test _PUTIMAGE placements easier with the screen looking the same each time. But here it is in, and I made this a blur defined area routine now.

Sometimes this program will hang up on me when closing the window by the mouse (X), I will have to use task kill to close it.
