[Colour Distort]

Ok i finally sorted some stuff out.

So I've added Before and After screen shots.

Fixed a glitch in the code (The plus option was doing times and Viseversa).

Hello,

this is a fantastic tutorial with highly varying results but I've got one suggestion:

Use the Zoom blur deluxe plug-in instead of the built in zoom bur

(just search Zoom blur deluxe in plug-in publishing only)

edit: see first post for updates, errors and questions.

[Colour Distort]

Hello this is my first plug-in.

This plug-in simply subtracts the red blue green by x+y or x-y or x*y depending on the option you select and then divides it by the amount you specified.

It creates a strange tiled gradient.

[How do i load an image?]

but this is actually a very simple plug-in because this is all it does:

loads_image

for(x=Rect.Left; x{
for(y=Rect.Top; y{
if red at x,y on image does not equal red at x,y on loaded image
{
alpha at x,y on image equals 100%
}

if blue at x,y on image does not equal blue at x,y on loaded image
{
alpha at x,y on image equals 100%
}

if green at x,y on image does not equal green at x,y on loaded image
{
alpha at x,y on image equals 100%
}
}
}

Simon if you could (or anyone else) show a Code Lab script Example which allows the user to pick the file location? that would help me a lot (To Google!)

@ Simon Brown

you do know this is a plug-in, right?

because I'm not asking how would i do this through already existing functions.

Sorry If i just sounded a bit rude just now but I wasn't trying to

Ok I've got a few questions:

• 
  .How do you add to a selection through code?
  .How do you load an image through code?
  .How do you accesses the loaded image through code?
  

[How do i load an image?]

Sorry i wasn't sure which forum i should of been posted in :? and yes this is gong to be a plug-in.

[How do i load an image?]

Thank you Simon Brown.

I searched reflector and I've downloaded it.

and also I didn't notice what difference did well now i do

well it looks like there's no point in me trying to make a plug-in for that

Thanks Again

edit:

actually there is point in the plug in because the difference blend darkens a cyan color the more simulator color it is.

here's the logic it would have i think

for (int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; y++)

{

for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++)

{

if pixel at x,y on image's RGB does not equal pixel at x,y on other image's RGB

{

add pixel at x y to selection

}

}

}

tell me if you see any flaws

Hello,

I'm trying to build a plug-in that will delete (turn alpha to 0) Any Similarity/Differences between two images.

At the moment the problem I'm having is an error in the bitmap loading.

BTW I'm a noob to Plug-in coding but I've had a fair amount of experience in coding using a language which syntax highly similar to C#'s syntax (Yes i learned GML ).

If anyone has a plug-in coding guide for Microsoft Visual C# 2008 express edition please don't hesitate to tell me .
