At long last, here is the most-requested image processing technique for this site – a comprehensive collection of grayscale conversion techniques. To my knowledge, this is the only project on the Internet that presents 7+ unique grayscale conversion algorithms, including two written from scratch for this very project.
As promised, here is the second half of my histogram code project. In this project, I’ll show you how to stretch a histogram, equalize individual channels, and – most useful of all – equalize an image’s overall luminance.
This is one of my all-time favorite image effects – a simulated blacklight that looks GREAT on any image with people in it. I invented this algorithm myself, and the provided code will allow you to test the effect in real-time on any image below 2MB. (The sample image is Squall from FF8 – the greatest RPG ever made, btw…)
“Dark Knight” is one of my oldest compositions. I wrote the initial 8-10 measures of this as a sophomore in high school, but it wasn’t until years later that I sat down and actually completed the song as a full-length battle theme. In this form I’m not even sure it embodies its name, but since it’s gone by this title for so long it deserves to stay this way…
