Pog’s Lab Overlayer v0.2e (2006-01-18) - WINDOWS ONLY

I was trying to develop a simple plugin framework to do cool things in Lab mode to images. Since it was supposed to be fairly straight-forward, I thought I’d just try to get a simple overlay blend going.
It proved a lot harder than I thought. My math is junk and there are some very serious errors in the coding. However, I kind of like the results this plugin gives.

This plugin should work with any Windows application capable of hosting Photoshop-compatible plugins. Due to my limitations… not those of my development environment …this plugin only support 8-bit RGBA images. I’ve done my best to ensure quality output (floating point variables, etc) but this is free for your use (private and commercial)… so don’t expect miracles!

Before your image application can use a plugin, you must download it (duh!), unzip it, and move the contents to your plugins folder. That folder is usually located in your program’s directory along with the rest of the files that make your application work. Generally, you need to restart the image program for the new plugins to recognized. To use a plugin, select it from the list of custom filters which is usually found on one of the top drop-down menus.

Use this plugin as you see fit. No attribution or compensation is required.
