Sounds good, but adding a description to each filter (it's about 237) will take too much effort |
|
@T8RIN yes, that is what I think too. Would be a nice to have but hard to complete. |

Yup |

If you can, you can make this and help community :) |

There are many ways of achieving this. But for this to come to fruition there need to be a place where someone can start. Would it be a Github .md document? A collaborative document? But then again, it needs to be easily accessible for people to contribute. And it can always be moved or adapted later on to another service. I just wanted to spark some concrete discussion about this as it seemed like it lost momentum. I don't have much time myself but I sometimes take breaks from writing and researching by writing more and doing more research, just on other stuff. So who knows. I like the idea. Especially in terms of demystifying various tools to help people use them better. What good is a toolshed full of tools if you don't know what any of them are and end up using the tools incorrectly? :) Is there a simple way of generating a list of all the filters? As to avoid having to manually comb through and write them into a document? |

Yup, this can be .md file, also complete list of available filters are just in project readme |

Excuse me for the intermission/intromission, but, wouldn't the library/idea where the filters were taken from be the best place to start? The lib help files should have minimal.information about each filter and some of the values you can change, and presets, etc.. it's just an idea, because I was here exactly to see if I can find some documentation about the svg creator thing, about what most of the options are for without using the scientific method of trial and error. And last case I was thinking about looking at the source code and try to understand which library it's using to at least try and find docs about that. |

Not all filters are from third party libs, part from gpu image, part from aire and part are mine, but as i remember there really small info about filters even in libraries |
and others
Imagetoolbox has a vast amount of filters. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to add information about the filters. For example, what they do is a descriptive text like a small wiki for the app and in the end this should be searchable within imagetoolbox. Imagetoolbox right now has a search function that is working pretty nice to find the corresponding filter. Maybe this could get extended.
For example, it would be possible that people just want to improve the brightness of an image, but instead of using just the brightness filter, there are other options like exposure or histograms that might do the trick better for the user.
I don't know if the community would be willing and able to do this. One issue I see is the barrier to put content into image toolbox. Not everybody is using GitHub and is able to use GitHub. That's why it should be more like a discussion or something that you might think about.
