Hi,
I wrote some filters that you could use in your albums or integrate in your skins.
I tried to clone some effects from the app "instagram". In addition, there are some other effects I liked (e.g. "vintage" - old photo effect).
With these filters, you get an easy way to give your photos and albums a totally different style.

Have fun!
I'd be glad to get some feedback.
Regards, Sarah

I attached the .jar-Filter a second time. I deleted the sharpen-Effect from my filters because I noted that this is done automatically when you make an album. Sorry, that I forget that.

How to use the filters?
At first you unpack the .jar-file in the plugins folder of jAlbum's program directory.
Then you have two different ways to use my filters.

1. integrate in skin:
- Create init.bsh file
- Code: import net.jalbum.filters.instagram.*;
engine.addFilter(new +name+());
- for example: engine.addFilter(new Vintage());

2. generate user Variable:

- go to Ablum Settings/Advanced/User Variables
-name: any name you like
- value: class=net.jalbum.filters.instagram.name
-e.g. filter1 ; class=net.jalbum.filters.instagram.Vintage

thanks
oh yes, you're right. I don't know how that could happen.
But I fixed that.

For those of us with no access to the original app, where are the filters listed and defined?

I'm just getting null pointer exceptions, trying to apply any of the filters with a User Variable.

With the .jar file in ext, I'm now getting a new error:

An unexpected error occured. Please see detailed description below:

Yes, I've discovered that the filters are picky about the images you feed them. Newer stuff, from my Nikon, works fine. But older images....

Attached.

I guess it will, so we should have it renamed. Suggestions?
