GM Photo Windows by GalaxyMeridian

Cool and good different way of making different frames over a single image and having also beveled frames in fake 3D and with different styles, AND this 3D effect on the borders is NOT made with the Surface filter effect!!

Surely this is diferent to the other two filters available and is good on it´s own with many custmization options and controls.

Also like the presets you have put that shows well what can be done

Thanks

Thanks for your input Spaceray!

I will make an update within a week and make a few improvements.

The 'weird things' is simply the fact that the mapscript needs to sample the input-maps for every pixel. As it is now, they are only sampled once, which means that they are quickly sampled as 'blocks', which always occur the first time when the 'get_sample(x,y) function is run. The 'weird things' are thus 'normal', though unwanted, results of the internal and 'blocky quick-scan' of the mapscript. The fix will be simple - I will just add a checkbox for those who want to use user-input images and this checkbox will sample these input-images for every pixel, unlike now.

This issue will be corrected as soon as possible.

I have seen that you have uploaded the new version and it has even more things thanks

And Iike how it works, and is very good that you have been able to fix the problem of using images inside sqaure for the overlay, BUT it seems that on the "Color 3" is still broken and you did not fix it, because it keeps showing weird result.

The script seems to be functioning correctly.

This function initializes all colors:



This function is called for every pixel:



The rest of the function handles the 19 different blendmodes, as well as light and contrast calculation.

Good work Spaceray, I appreciate your testing.



I have tried, as far as possible, to place the important tweaking-controls at the lower part of the filter control panel:




Information about some of the important lower controls:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--[ Color Areas ]--

You can choose between 1 - 5 color areas for your windows. Each of these areas can be supplied with its own imported image, its own blendmode setting and light-setting. Each window is assigned a random color area. If you wish to change the present color areas, see the next control. In order to see an overview of the blendmodes for the 5 color areas, select the control TEXT - ON/OFF. Remember to turn off the text before you render.

[RandSeed-Colors]

This control lets you change the random seed for the color-areas. If you are satisfied with the layout of the physical windows/frames, then you can alter this slider in order to only change the randomization of the color areas. If you have selected only 1 color area, then this control will not produce any effect. If you have selected 2 color areas, then each window will be assigned to either [Color 1] or [Color 2].

[RandSeed-Windows]

This control lets you tweak the random seed for the window layout. Every time you change this random seed, the windows will change randomly, within the restraints of their current settings, i.e. within the upper and lower segment restraints.

[Segments - Top]

This setting controls the 'approximate number' of windows at the top row. Setting this number to [1] will result in 1-3 windows, depending on the randomization. Later I may add a 'lock' for those who wish to have exactly a particular number of segments.

[Segments - Low]

This control works in the same manner as [Segments - Top]. The slider controls the 'approximate number' of windows in the lowest row. The reason why I have chosen an approximation of the number of segments is to bring more variation of results for each possible setting.

[Complete Filling]

Setting this control to SELECTED, will fill up any empty areas which exist. It works by extending the top windows as far down as they can reach, until they meet the lower row of windows. If this control is set to UNSELECTED, then you may see empty, unfilled areas in the picture.
