Core Image Stroke Filter

post's picture

Hiya

A Core Image filter that the world has been gasping for:

An 8-bit-style border stroke added to images.

Stroke thickness and colour are exposed as inputs.

Works a charm for thicknesses up to about 4 pixels -- above that, the corners get flaky; the code is very basic.

Enjoy. And... Feel very free to improve.

All the best, -R

That's cool; on my system, I have to place the Billboard settings to "Native Core Image Rendering" for the line outline is see on the tooltip to render (I'm not sure if you mean for the line to render or not, but it seems like that's part of what it's suppose to do.)

Actually, would it be possible to post the torus thing you have pictured? I don't think this works as expected (?) for me.

Hiya George

No problem -- here is the composition.

I see no difference when toggling Native Core Image Rendering on the Billboard... Works both ways here.

(MacBook Pro, RadeonX1600, Snow Leopard)

Best -R.
