Title: [Program] Filter Factory
Post by: Xfixium on August 18, 2012, 12:22:08 pm
Title: Filter Factory
Dev Tool: c# VS 2010
Language: English
Requirements: Windows, .net 4.0

Filter Factory is a simple image upscaler, offering up a list of popular filters. It also preserves alpha channels if used correctly on image save.

This is a simple interface built on top of Hawkynt's filter library. (Found here: http://code.google.com/p/2dimagefilter/) He/She also has a binary for his/her library as well but this is an alternative to it. As the binary he/she provides seems to stretch out the image on preview.

Very interesting! Again, another program by your hand that I could see myself using in the future.

If I may make some observations:
- It was unclear that I could change between the original and filtered tabs.
- I don't appear to be able to zoom in/out for the filtered image

What would make it more intuitive for you? The zoom was meant for the original to compare the two in the filtered size. I could put zooms for each however.

- Tabs: Maybe shows tabs around both "Original" and "Filtered" and then give one tab a little color or something to indicate the one that has been selected.
- Zoom: Maybe always show the images in the same size. Meaning: let the slider effect the scale of the original image like now and show the filtered version with the same x and y dimensions. That would work for me, but maybe more people can give some feedback as well.

I can just revert it to a standard tab control. So put the original at 200%, 300% or 400% for its default size versus the filtered 100% and scale from there?
