Hello all,
I have been writing a test software to "hide" images inside other images. I have been searching for people who might give me some feedback. I hope you could give me some. Last night, i recorded a video of some of the tests.

What do you think? Is this good for anything?

Thanks. I'm glad to hear someone else than me also thinks its cool I'm not sure how i'm going to improve it. First of all, .. i would need more background graphics,.. Do you have any ideas where i could get high-resolution good-quality images? Or suggestions of what kind of images i should try it next?

Welcome to the TG Forums,

Interesting concept for a stand-alone application and not to rain on your parade or discourage you I must ask 'why'?

It there anything that you are doing that isn't possible in almost all image editors anyway?

EG: This (very basic) hide was done in Xara Xtreme5 in just a couple minutes.




But good luck and feel free to post more examples

Thank you...

Well, i'm currently waiting for my new job to begin so i had nothing "official" to do... I must have a project that i'm working with or i loose my mind I guess i have no better reason.

First of all:
I have no graphic-skills myself so i couldn't do those kind of images with pure photo-editor. I need a software to do it.

Second:
The original concept was just to seek the optimal position (=position/orientation that looks as much as possible like this image i'm seeking with).. The automated blitting came later when i got bored doing that by hands with Gimp after using the software just to get the position.

Maybe in some cases this could be useful for experienced graphic-guys as well. At least i hope so For example, if you have VERY large / complex background with several good possibilities... At least i've noticed that software returns places sometimes i didn't even think about.

Thanks for your replies everyone...
