Black & White Photo

Post subject:  Black & White Photo

This program turns any photo into B/W. Works well for cartoon pictures. Normal color pictures get turned into B/W too, but due to Turing's 256 color limitation, lose some beauty. If anyone's got a way around it, please mail me.

not bad. But I believe Delos has already made a program like this, here http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=3316 but still, good job, +bits

Post subject:  Different from delos

Delos's program is different. Its a filter, meaning that it removes all other colors except black and white. Mine is converter. This includes all the colors between black and white. That's the difference.

Thanks for the bits!

Thats what it did Delos(i don't know if you want to reveal your First name), to a photograph i put in. All the colors other than black and white were removed. A black and white photo turned into a photo that looked like a sketch of an artist. (i tried it with color photos too)So thats the difference between yours and mine.

But as i said before, I'm not competing with you. We are friends.

How many times do I have to tell you!
And no, I'd rather my first name (or First name if you like) not be revealed...

NEhow...I've lost my train of thought. The reason both proggies are the same is that they are based on whatdotcolour/RGB.Whatdotcolour to record their information.

If I ever show you my source, you'll see how similar they are. I say that because I know how you did yours...hehehehe...I, um...de...con...structed...your proggie and...reverse...engineered it..yes, that's what I did.

NEhow...I'm sad that I'm flying.

you have a program to decompile from EXE to .t converter////???

dude... that program is evil....if it exists... cuz it could steal code from ppl.... which would be BAD....

Funny... very.... i was fooled... to think he had one... i kinda skimed the post the first time... i re-read and can see the sarcasm now...i bet one realy does exist somewhere... but under lock and key...

that program is awesome. it even makes it look as good quality as the original picture (or at least very close)

Post subject:  Update

Update:-

User can choose output filename. I added Explorer type interface for this part, so that the user can browse and save whereever he/she wants. I'm working on replacing the already existent files. The program won't let you overwrite now. But soon... looking forward to bugs.

Very nice program u got there......
nice module for opening files...
care to share the code... or is it just GUI????
cuz i could use that with my PAINT program for the open feature...

anyways.....
suggestion.... put a delay before it asks u to save so u can acually see the picture...

put "Please View The Picture, Save Option Availble Shortly"
Time.Delay (5000)

so u know what u saving...

works GREAT!!!

VDG proggy....



VDG- Very DAM GOOD


hint: always test ur prog before u post on compsci Wink

its plain GUI(turing's) and File and Dir module things. quite easy to make. I posted the source code in Turing Source Code forum. but its a bit old code. not like the one i have now-- this takes care of invalid JPG file(ex:- files renamed form txt to JPG, inexistent network drives etc. Like delos said a few posts earlier, I'm trying to sort the directories and files in the display. Don't have time to do that yet. working a file search module currently, that goes through directories and looks for file to be found.
