[gap-discuss] ANN: PRICE 1.2.0

[Riccardo Mottola]

P. R. I. C. E.  1.2.0
---------------------


I released a new version of PRICE, 1.2.0, today.


What is PRICE?

It stands for Precision Raster Image Convolution Engine and is an 
application that is capable of filtering and processing images. It is 
available on both GNUstep (thus linux, netbsd, freebsd, openbsd, 
solaris) and MacOSX (tested from 10.2 Puma and up). It is multi-document 
based and can open all standard images supported by GNUstep (tiff, png, 
jpg to cite some). It is capable of doing standard operation like 
crop&scale or brightness&contrast as well as more advanced operations 
with frequency-based filters or median filters or customizable edge 
tracing.


Where to find it?
http://price.sf.net

where you will find also some online documentation which you will 
probably need to understand better how to use the program.

PRICE is GPL'd and each filter is a separate class with well-defined 
interfaces so I encourage the reuse of them in other applications.


What are the news?

* JPEG support: jpeg is now supported as "Save as" format, thus PRICE 
registers itself as a JPEG editor

* Curves: The transformed histogram displays on top and not on the right.

* Several of bug fixes and portability enhancements


I first started working on PRICE in 2002 and it was open-sourced that 
year. CVS history starts Jan 2003. This is thus a sort of 10th 
anniversary release.
