NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     imgworks -	visual tool for	enhancing image	files

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     imgworks [	imgfile[:index]	] [-nofork]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     imgworks is a visual tool for altering and	enhancing color	and monochrome
     images.  imgworks provides	a graphical user interface that	shows the
     effect of each operation as it is performed.  Additionally, you can undo
     or	redo a series of operations.

     You can use imgworks to manipulate	images in the following	ways:
     flipping, resizing, cropping, and rotating	them; converting color to
     monochrome; creating photographic negatives; adjusting brightness,
     contrast, and color balance; thresholding and posterizing (quantizing);
     performing	histogram equalization;	and blurring or	sharpening them.

     imgworks can also display a histogram providing statistical information
     about an image.  The histogram display updates itself dynamically as each
     operation is performed.

     The optional index	after the file name is useful on multi-resolution
     images like Photo CD, to select the desired sub-image.  You can use
     imginfo to	get a complete list of all sub-images for a given file.

     -nofork
	  Specifies that the imgworks should run in the	foreground, when
	  invoked from the shell.  The default is to fork and run in the
	  background during startup.  This option is provided for consistency
	  with the media tools,	such as	movieplayer and	soundeditor.

     For more information, please refer	to the IRIS Utilities Guide and	the
     online help.
