Below is a a technical look at the new Babya Photo Workshop for Mac:
Babya Photo Workshop for Mac is a image editing application that allows
you to get started and experiment with Image Units. You can start out
with a base image, apply a color control filter, an exposure adjust
filter, white point adjust filter, and a color blend mode filter-all
the while watching the filters being applied to the source image in
real time. By using Babya Photo Workshop for Mac and seeing how Image
Units work, you can get a feel for how Image Units could be used in
your own applications.

How Core Image Works in Babya Photo Workshop:

Babya Photo Workshop uses Core Image-here's how it works:

In a nutshell, an Image Unit performs pixel-level operations on image
data that results in the creation of a new image.

When an Image Unit is loaded and configured with an image (or images),
as well as any needed parameters that define the settings that the
Image Unit can take, pixels are fetched from the input image by a
sampler object that handles any needed coordinate transformation and
scaling.

These pixels are provided to the Image Unit's processing kernel which
then performs its calculations and returns a result pixel.

When multiple Image Units are combined to process an image, Core Image
calculates the processing pipeline path for each pixel.

Babya Photo Workshop then dynamically concatenates the entire recipe
for each result pixel from all of the Image Units into a single
optimized operation. Furthermore, Core Image uses lazy evaluation.

Only the pixels that need to be processed for a given destination will
be processed-and only when they are drawn to their destination.

This behavior dramatically minimizes the amount of work that Core Image
needs to perform in order to create a final result image.

Core Image operates non-destructively on image sources. Since Image
Units execute in near real-time, and only on the pixels that need to be
processed, it is possible to keep the original state of the source
images and reprocess the displayed pixels as needed.

This lets you adjust the effects of an Image Unit and see the changes
immediately.

For example, a user can adjust the level of sharpening applied to an
image and see the changes without delay.

Parallel Execution

While it is easy to think of the per-pixel operations that an Image
Unit performs as happening one-by-one in a linear fashion, Core Image
executes these operations, whenever possible, using either the Velocity
Engine in the PowerPC G4 or G5 CPUs or the high performance GPUs on the
latest video cards.
These SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) hardware solutions
allow the same code to be executed on multiple data sets in parallel.

This use of parallelism is a perfect match for manipulating images
where the same operation is performed over and over on hundreds or
thousands of pixels.

Core Image Accuracy
Because Core Image uses 32-bit floating point numbers instead of fixed
scalars, it can handle over 1025 colors.

Each pixel is specified by a set of four floating point numbers, one
each for the red, green, blue, and alpha components of a pixel.

This color space is far greater than the human eye can perceive.

This level of precision in specifying color components allows image
fidelity to be preserved even through a large number of processing
steps without truncation.

Woops, good idea. Wasn't sure on the protocol there.

Please do snip quoted stuff. I've had aafuss in a KF for over a year, I
don't want to see his posts even when quoted.

You are a thief! I hope you'll learn one day that's it much more fun
to create things yourself, even when initial attempts may be clumsy.
And what you can't do is better left to experts.

Has there been some bad blood with AAFUSS in the past?

So now you expect the world to operate a kill-file for you?
