Experiment: Progressive Dissolve Image Filter

Here’s a quick demo of an image filter that I thought up during one of my last projects though it never managed to find itself in the launch.

Michael Battle - Progressive Dissolve Image Filter

Click through to see it in action.

I’ve deliberately slowed down the animation so that you have a better idea of what’s happening. Five of the six images used in the demo are sourced from the Flickr ‘Interestingness’ page.

During the same project, I came up with another interesting filter and I’ll throw the code together and show you in the coming days.

If you like this stuff, you’ll probably want to make sure you’re up with Adobe Hydra (AIF Toolkit) which will be released with Flash CS4 - check out Kevin Goldsmith’s blog for more info. This experiment wasn’t done using Hydra, though it probably could have been.

Nice!

That’d make for some degree of image copy protection on websites.

like maybe captchas?

Nice! It reminded me of the idea I had once, to fade in JPEG by dynamically adjusting the compression quality. Yours looks very similar to this. Big up!

extremely nice !
as always I’d say ;)

can you tell us more about the way you proceed? the algorithm seems to “refine” the dark zones first. Is it absolute random or is there a rule behind?

anyway, very nice, as always ;)

Hey nicoptere - actually, it is just random… though you do raise an interesting idea…
