Is there a way to apply .blackvalue (and .whitevalue) to a selection of a bitmap only?

Hi

I'm afraid there is not a function for that.

Nigel,

Thank you for a clear answer. Any chance the feature will be implemented sometime?

Hi Jan

We have implemented this for v5.2.1.

Using the new TIEBitmap.AdjustmentsMask it is possible to specify a selection mask for BlackValue, WhiteValue, ChannelOffset, Contrast and layer blending operations.

Wonderful! I'm deeply impressed.

Just installed imageEn 6.xx.

The new TIEBitmap.AdjustmentsMask works very well (I'm using it to adjust black&white values), except I can't find a decent way to switch the mask off again and apply changes to the entire bitmap as before. Changing the selection using .select to extend the mask to include the entire bitmap did work in principle but that slowed down the operation too much with the large (> 50 Mb) bitmap I'm using to be practical.

Any hint would be appreciated.

regards,

Jan Steevens

Hi Jan

I will improve the documentation.

To reset the mask (so adjustments are applied to the whole image) use AdjustmentsMask := nil;

Hi Nigel,

Thank you for the reply.

Maybe I don't understand.

I tried:

...
 if BlackWhiteSelectionOnly.checked then
    CurrMask := ImageEnViewCurr.SelectionMask
  else
    CurrMask := nil;

  ImageEnViewCurr.IEBitmap.AdjustmentsMask.Assign(CurrMask);

  ImageEnViewCurr.IEBitmap.BlackValue:= trackbar_black.position;
  ImageEnViewCurr.IEBitmap.WhiteValue:= trackbar_white.position;
  ImageEnViewCurr.Update;
...


Which results in the correct behaviour (black/white only applied to the selection) with BlackWhiteSelectionOnly.checked = true but no reaction on changing the trackbar position whatsoever when BlackWhiteSelectionOnly.checked = false.

Stated otherwise:
Switching off BlackWhiteSelectionOnly.checked results in the image remaining unchanged, switching it on makes the trackbars change a selection if present, but never the entire image.


Still puzzled,

Jan

To reset the adjustments mask use:

ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.AdjustmentsMask.Empty();
ImageEnView1.Update();

Hi Nigel,

Black/white changes are applied to the entire image normally until the AdjustmentMask is assigned.
From then on .IEBitmap.AdjustmentsMask.Empty() does work to switch the mask off, except: the problem remains the same. The ImageEnView treated that way from then on refuses to react on a black/white change, except when a selection is made. Reloading an image does not help, the program must be restarted.

I tried (to start with):

In .. .BlackWhiteSelectionOnlyClick(..)

  if BlackWhiteSelectionOnly.Checked then
    begin
      ImageEnViewCurr.IEBitmap.AdjustmentsMask.Assign(ImageEnViewCurr.SelectionMask);
      ImageEnViewCurr.Update;
    end
  else
    begin
      ImageEnViewCurr.IEBitmap.AdjustmentsMask.Empty(); 
      ImageEnViewCurr.Update;
    end;

It looks as if the masking function, once set, remains active somehow.

Either I must be doing wrong something obvious or there is a flaw in the new function.

Any idea?

Regards,

Jan Steevens

Hi Jan

We'll have a fix for this in v6.0.1.

Hi Nigel,

Thank you for looking into the problem. Avoids going on trying. Will I get a notification when 6.01 is released or will the update be announced somewhere?

Regards,

Jan Steevens
