It’s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1934356824/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=oxd-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1934356824">available from Amazon</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=oxd-20&l=as2&o=1&a=1934356824" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, and also in <a href="http://pragprog.com/book/ktmack/mac-kung-fu">eBook form for all eReader devices</a>, including Kindle.</em></p> <p>Install the free-of-charge Xcode developer toolkit via the App Store (Apple gives it away to all those who’ve bought OS X), then open Finder and hit Shift+Command+G. In the dialog box that appears, type the following path:</p> <p><code>/Developer/Applications/Graphics Tools/</code></p> <p>Then double-click “Core Image Fun House”</p> <p>This is a small program designed to showcase to programmers OS X’s built-in visual effects, but it also lets anybody apply the effects to images. It’s rather like options typically offered on the Filters or Effects menu of popular image editing apps.</p> <p>When the program runs, you’ll be prompted to open an image. Once you do so, a floating palette window will let you choose effects to apply (if the palette isn’t visible, click Window->Effect Stack). Simply click the plus button alongside the Image checkbox to bring up a list of effects you can apply to the image. Most of the effects typically found in image editing apps are offered, and once applied, the program will also offer a variety of sliders that will let you adjust the intensity or nature of the effect.</p> <p>When you’ve finished applying effects, click File->Save As and give the changed file a new name.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nnAPZ13im86gQJTFWW1VYeQQR8A/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nnAPZ13im86gQJTFWW1VYeQQR8A/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nnAPZ13im86gQJTFWW1VYeQQR8A/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nnAPZ13im86gQJTFWW1VYeQQR8A/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=GEAJEkB49Gc:0PI49LR-5Sg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=GEAJEkB49Gc:0PI49LR-5Sg:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=GEAJEkB49Gc:0PI49LR-5Sg:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=GEAJEkB49Gc:0PI49LR-5Sg:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=GEAJEkB49Gc:0PI49LR-5Sg:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=GEAJEkB49Gc:0PI49LR-5Sg:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=GEAJEkB49Gc:0PI49LR-5Sg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/GEAJEkB49Gc" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
