A name sells half the product (though it's going to be release for free)! Unfortunately I'm out of inspiration for a name for my new image plug in...

What does it do:
It can manipulate DBP images (various filters, pasting an image directly on an image with different modes, manipulating channels, etc.). It also has some basic operations for creating/copying images.
They all bypass conversion to memblocks which makes it several times faster.

Can you guys help me find a name for the plug-in?

Definitively "Glöggmakaren". Could anything fit in better?

Image Manipulation And Gloggmakaren empires.

Idk, I dont think the name needs to be anything fancy. You could just throw dark infront of it and have it be darkImage. Or has that already been done?

I think "bildetrikseren" would catch on.

I don't think it has been done before, but I wanted to have something more original...

Someone I know came up with PicWiz...

Mhm there are some good ideas between those (I'm trying to play a bit with your propositions).
How about Simpi? Sounds playful doesn't it :-P It stands for Sven's Image Manipulation Plug In.
Might be pretty lame though...

Did you make this plugin using Magick++, the imageMagick api?

Just curious, its something I have considered doing in the past

Nope. Everything is done using C++, Direct3D and some DBP commands for finding the image pointers or creating a new image.
I put a great deal into researching the different algorithms used. (Blurring, alpha blending, ...) Not only just techniques, but also about optimizations (from using bitwise operators to using two passes for a convolution kernel). Not that it's fully optimized already, it's just ready for WIP.

I looked into Magick++. It looks promising. You just have to find a -fast- and reliable way to convert a Direct3D image to a Magick++ Image.

Sounds usefull, especially if we can texture an object with an image, then manipulate it - paste images etc.

How about calling it...

Image Kit

or

Image Tools

or

Dark-collage

That's exactly what it's designed for. My first test example was shooting bullet holes on a wall. Only these bullet holes are pasted directly on the wall, and allow you to see through the wall by manipulating the alpha channel (like shooting through paper).

Thanks Van B for you're proposals.
In fact, I really like your first one: Image Kit! I think I'll use that.

Thanks everyone for your input! Expect a WIP post in the near future.

That looks nice Virtual Nomad. Too bad I decided on Image Kit...
Perhaps you can whip up something for that :-P (I don't want to force anything of course).

sven, is this the same layer-based project or something different? curious 'cause if i do have time to do some artwork, i think it should reflect the basis or methodology of the plugin.

Personally I'd say Image Kit is superior to LayerStudio. LayerStudio allows you to organize layers and assign modes to every layer independently, whereas Image Kit only applies to separate images.
Technically, you should be able to reproduce any effect you made with LayerStudio using Image Kit (I think it's even faster too).

Regarding the artwork: I'll post a WIP thread so you can grasp the workings of the plug-in.
I just finished the keyword file. All that's left is some examples to show in the WIP.

Hehe, Good one Rudolpho, soon it's christmas (a few months) and then it's time for "glöggmakeri" and gingerbreads!

As for name I'm not sure.
