SmileFX - Readme

.: Introduction
This code sample demonstrates various graphical effects, like interleaving, mosaicing, color blending, negative etc.

As a policy (so that even beginners can understand this), I have not used any API calls or external OCXs.

The code is fairly well commented and it explains the logic I used to create the effects. The process is slow, but thats not an issue here as SmileFX is best used for understanding the basic algorithms used for these purposes.

.: But Why..?
I saw a 10 line code on PSC that creates a laser effect. It was done using the simple point, pset and line statements. I was amazed at the effect he created without API and just decided to experiment myself. I got some cool effects, then I decided to share it .. and now you have it!
.: The Girl on the Photo
She is Aishwarya Rai. A very popular actress and model in India. She was also Miss World in 1993. Definitely among my favourite actresses! I even have a gallery of her pics in my website. Click here.
