josch Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hello, on some ImageBoards, people use ImageMasks to sort of "encrypt" parts of Images. There are Tools like FLMASK or GMask to do this. I wasn't able to find a explanation how exactly this Masks work. I would like to mask/unmask Pictures using Paint.NET. I am not very good at programming, but I would maybe try to create a plugin, if I understand how this masks work. Maybe someone of you can help me? Here are links to the software used for masking. http://homepage3.nifty.com/furumizo/gmaskd_e.htm http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA013065 ... m#mainbody http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Dojo/4051/ramfaq01.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Man Dan Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Actually, David, there's a difference between Alpha Masking and the "Image Masking" josch mentions. Check out the second link provided to get an idea of the desired effect. :wink: I've never actually seen this type of "masking" used before, and I'm baffled as to why one would want to show off an image with a section that was disrupted-but-restorable, but there are a lot of strange things I don't understand in this world, so who am I to decry it. I suppose that, for now, one could try using BoltBait's Steganography plugin, using the masked image as the main image and the unscrambled one as the hidden image, but I'm dubious as to the results.

david.atwell Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Aha! I see. Well, that would be an adjustment layer, I think. :-) And thus, in the Pop Feat Reqs thread. And I think your idea would be too destructive... Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.
