In an ordinary editor the addition system in brightening shoots the pixel colours to a white speckle haze far too quickly and distorts the

colour ratio in the pixels(whether brightening or darkening) by as much as 5 to 10 on two of the pixels' colours with just one action to commit

called!, and, upon as much as 50 percent of the images' pixels usually. Sidewinders system does not, it requires around 10 actions before the

pixels are mildly out somewhere between 3 to 5 from double precision floating point ratio remembering calculations!

F1 is pre-tuned by Australian stout drinkers, is about all common here with this, but you can get an "F".

While 1.6.0_22 compile is thought better by newer JDK/SDK - JRE version , the program does not use "generics coding"

so it appears 1.5.0_03 responds better and more reliably, it also gives backward compatibility when dumping it into your computer to use

instantly.

[Version F1 with JPEG thumb write while no standard EXIF image data and a thumbs removal system]

If you want to place a thumb image on a PNG or BMP they do not allow it in that file type.

Once again the jpeg header data block and thumb image size is related to the compressor used and the maximum Kb of all forward header

block sections(EXIF is near proprietory with Adobe and Fuji JPEG/JFIF meta data wrapper format), Sidewinder only uses a high quality

image level compression of 92% - 95% on the main image so it will not compress the thumb much either resulting in a larger thumb image

file size that could over-run the forward header block total size allowed on the image specification(there is an API documentation clue to

this one also apart writer imageInsert() methods getPreferredThumbnailSizes() - sometime maybe).

The following is a fix for F1-C17 "image meta data" this places camera data with or without placing a thumb image(the previous version to "meta-fix" loses the EXIF data if no thumb image is present or placed).

It writes to disc a bit better too.

The following line on Sidewinders' ouptut board can now be ignored:

..." Th is photo editor also places or removes thumb images on JPEG but must be placed on af ter second save after

fi nal ised image editor processin g." ...

The wri ter was simply an I IOImage morphi s version, there are others also that use ImageWriteParam in the call , " and that is not

strange" ! because there are around 50-100 lines of code to set up JPEG wr ite for compression and renderi ng settings i wrote maybe as

much as over a year back, but apparently nothing was actually u sing it! The give-away was a method i r ead to tr y to improve it that u ses

constant f ield values (i t said the wri ter can be for ced to use the ori ginal stream meta data, given thi s sets up i ts own parameters in my

coding, and any jpeg can be decoded by any set of tables, there should be no probl ems anywhere, again the changed wri ter mor phi s takes

the imagewri terparam object i setup in my code and can take a nul l ar gument f or either(completely use stream meta data or use params)),

then i took a l ook at the writer mor phises in the API docs.

(The updated help files (to recent, there are newer here on the site) are in this fix version also)

Here is an example of the type of file for Sidewinder:

The Above fix for F1-C17 "image meta data" appears to have been a fix inclusive for this problem, exactly

how well i don't know at this stage but it seems thereabout right.....

[ WARNING - PRECAUTION - When adding a thumb image ,

always "save a finalised copy first as JPEG with no thumb image (particularly jpeg)" ,

then use the "saved editor image"(auto-re-opens into editor) to place a thumb image on a second save!

(for 99% probable success, do not exceed "150" thumb image size).

, and save the image edit process output text by copying and pasting it to a text file]

IF a crash error occurs, always switch off the editor (after getting your output text) and restart it.

How-To copy and paste, select text with mouse, then press CNTRL+C keys together, then paste into a text pad.

The fix seems to allow such as a 12 M pixel to place a thumb of 170 instantly on 1st save when finishing

processing...

TIP: You only need ONE thumb image on a photo (While there are EXIF blocks carry more info it is not a point to have more than one thumb. The

editor will repaint it on saving.)

The following problem in FO and previous versions of image write failure coupled with thumb image data has been corrected and fix versions can be

obtained (downloaded). There is more to dig into to find subtle faults since the thumb system was one of the most attacked by power outage and other

forms of computer crash.

Note: IF! the GUI does not show a jpeg image when you open it the chances are it is not simply a 24 bit type.

Also, As stated elsewhere, rotating your image for viewing or editing in Sidewinder does not lose image information, and when the position needs to match

the original data, simply rotate the image back to its original position when it was opened, most cameras have inbuilt software and sensor to mark the "top"

position of a photo.

What is "Sidewinder"?It is a true colour (24 bit , no alpha transparency channel and no alpha indicator byte) digital camera image(digital photo) editor written in Java2.

[NOT a graphics creation or paint image editor!]

note: It does have text painting on images of each line requires saving the image to hold it in place if you want to then add another line onto the

image, "NEVER use JPG for test painting in this editor" only use BMP image type for text after all image quality editing has been finalised to

prevent gradual quality loss if you put e.g. DD-MM-YYYY on your photos or write any other information on them.

Why it's called "Sidewinder"is because of the way it walks accross all the grains of pixel! On "two settings" , the calibrated original(used alike aco-efficient) pixel values kept on an array coresponding the editor change calculations and the allowed valid image insert pixel numerics setting specified by

comparing to the validity of the calibrated originals on the calculation results array.

ABOUT: SideWinderPhotoColourBalancer:

Of origin i couldn't find a "small" or "portable" imaging program that did colour balancing of 24bit colour images. That is the least of why! , i often found thatshifting above and below the required levels for the RGB in an imaging program resulted in loss of the original data settings of pixels as they ranged outside

and back into the images numeric parameters. So, i built this program to hold the original negative or positive out of bounds values of each pixel and reuse

them as the boundary of the usable valid numeric image data moved in again for pixels that editing placed back into correct computer image value(0 zero -

to - 255 per colour Red,Green,Blue). Before learning computer programming, i learned photographic developing, C41,RA4,E6,PC30 e.t.c. , i also built

my own 120mm and 35 mm colour enlarger, of this is the transfer over alike to balancing a colour photo card with film negative exposure.

Note: While Sidewinder is compiled for backward compatibility in 1.5.0_03 , Sidewinder should be used in as new a JRE as possible! e.g. current Java7

[ For MS-Win To install ]You must have an Link: Oracle Java2 JRE (Win / Linux / Solaris / Mac OSX 10.7.3)1.5.0_03 or newerinstalled, then, drag and drop the application folder [ .\SideWinderColourBalancer ] (with contents in structure) from the zip to the folder you want to put it

, then run the WSH script [ Install-Desktop-STARTER-Shortcut-Sidewinder.wsh ] in the application folder [ .\SideWinderColourBalancer ] by double

clicking and it will put an icon on the current user desktop (note: see Link: Microsoft downloads WSH XPif your machine does not have WSH installed

or use your Win OS install disk if it is newer than XP).

Note: Effectively when rotating images "in sidewinder interface" there is no loss associate the image quality, image quality is controlled by the file

compression system on "save as". All Sidewinder files are saved as high quality in jpg or simply png or bitmap loss-less.

Unfortunately, while Sidewinder does rotate images in the editor(If you are placing the pic in an online browser HTML display control: in Sidewinder rotate

to the opposite direction e.g. if 90 deg. right looks correct then rotate it 90 deg. left then save the image - there is no "save over" system in sidewinder), i

have not got around to setting the "int" for oriency from the images that carry EXIF data.

This following freeware application i found is able to correct image oriency on JFIF/TIFF types that carry the oriency EXIF data!

The Quick Colour board is repaired now, it went to a bizarre set of computer crashes around one and a half years back of one was a blackout

that lasted overnight and occurred in the middle of the night writing off edited disjointed refactored unsaved code in the editor at the time.

"The greatest!" was in an internet cafe(where i normally write) and someone who was previously using the computer i was at told me he had

leaved his files on disk and not restarted the machine to clear all the personal information, he simply said that after i had been using the

machine for 15 minutes writing in code and simply clicked the machine restart button! Normally i use the standard buttons for colour balance

so i never noticed about the quick colour boards and nobody wrote me an email error report!

A couple of things to remember!!! The QUICK COLOUR BOARD: Only open one of it each use. If you decide not to use it or whenyour finnished with it, SWITCH IT OFF, ONLY HAVE ONE OPEN WHEN IN USE, so if you want to use up not down for the colour

balance quick board you need to switch it off and press the appropriate button to pop up the other panel, "do not have both, do not have

more than one quick colour panel!".

The other is only use.jpg , .jpeg , .png , .bmp True colour (24 bit) files and these before-mentioned extensions with no alpha-channel(notransparency added).

Finally, when any process is used "wait until it finnishes AND the main image is repainted to the screen up to 5-10 seconds after processfinnishes(on smaller 2gb to 6gb or older computers e.g. early P3 or older can be 30 seconds!!! and processes are slow too)".

[ The below "before" and "after" examples are the type of picture Sidewinder was created to handle, Manual setting camera shots that will

probably require improvement because there is no other way for settings on the camera , or camera shots that were bungled in manual mode

from not resetting ]Here is a picture of a pet lady(5 inches across) lived in and around the house in the past ten years, i had to put her to

sleep because she gets in my bed and has caused the odd palpitations, it's simply one night i had insomnia so i was well on the way to being

deceased if i didn't know where she was and i found her outside my bedroom door with one of her smaller babies. This photo is shortly

before i put her to sleep with the spray can. Can't really think what came over me, i should have leaved her there until i got better but i was

thinking i could forget her depending where i put the canister. Every other day its a foot away from the head up on the eve beams or 1/2 a

foot away on the wall in the corridor, she all but walked into the canister by indication and her baby just sat quietly beside watching. Just a

final note: They are called an "InlandFunnel web" because of the size of their fangs and their behavior when they sit up on their back four

legs and hold their front four legs up and wave them or hold them alike a human hand and fingers in a curled claw grab position while lifting

their fangs and head front, similar to the immensely deadly coastal Funnel Web spiders(Atrax Robusta), however, Inland Funnel Web spider

venom is less toxic and only potentially could kill(and she only sits up that way rarely and when overhead on the eve beams so you only tend

to notice when she unloads the venom onto the top of your head as you pass under her - makes you wonder where the dribble came from).

BEFORE PHOTO AFTER PHOTO

Here is a scenery "BEFORE" and "AFTER" photo. This was done in EBLA5 using the gamma and white(brighten/darken)RGB filters(8 of

them) to accentuate the darkened parts of the shadowed background areas. You want to use a tabbed browser so you click between the

three images easily and quickly to see the differences of visibility not mere enhancement.

The second "AFTER" has been done by a small tiny tweak down of contrast, and after saving the processed picture (the first AFTER photo),

it would have been better again if it were done while all the process had occurred during one processing session for that image.

The fourth(skipped 3rd) is a better understanding of what leads to the enhancements and a better natural color look, it did require a tiny

quantity of gamma but the bulk of it is done by filtering lifting "up" dark parts with the "white"(synonym for bright dark in the editor controls)

RGB filter levels set and bringing the grass back "down" with "white" RGB filter levels set on the Hue Board.

(EBLA5 and F0 write image types to disc problems)

After finally checking the API documentation by exhausting the supply of methods and object morphise calls possible, it has been found to be a subtle

problem of the "new IIOImage()" constructor call morphise.

It did not accept the thumb image list defined to it as the list to use. If there are thumb images on the IIOImage object metadata it must be destroyed by

overwriting "AFTER" construction with a setThumbimages method call.

Neither the compiler or the runtime environment logged any errors about it 'though the result clearly is not re-writing the thumbs or placing new thumbs

on a JPEG/JFIFF image type. Technically feeding the thumb list to the new IIOImage object is an acceptable way of placing them on the object,

However, not so!

There remains a more tricky issue of write with thumb image in F1-C17, However, this is due to javax.swing threading and general virtual machine

runtime environment threading in the application with javax.imageio during JPEG processing. Unlike PNG or BMP JPEG is quite complex in structure for

processing underneath. It causes what is showing now to be processing sequence timing mismatch but exactly where and when, also the EXIF header

specification for thumb images is as much a problem of not landing to much data in high quality image onto the forward header blocks section.

erviced.Contrary to appearance i do not use Netbeans IDE much or to write this, i use gedit,Kwrite or notepad or contex or Netbeans as required for convenience. I als

ompile on the command line(unix or win) in a custom application structure so putting it into an IDE is useless except the bare source file for an IDE(I prefer to know what

m doing! e.g. custom tags,JSF,JSP,http web services WSDL e.t.c.) not rely on what someone can do quickly for me - e.g. "starters .bin and unistd.h with execlp or

xecvp" (Debian and Suse did not have "gcc" or "g++" bundled so i had to fall back on Slackware 10.1 and with both Win and Debian i can only start Slackware with the

sk using "bare.i root=/dev/hda5 noinitrd ro" because grub and Lilo are not compatible at install time at overwriting each other)which i must say had a better chance here

gainst java LinuxStarterMotor than anything else in linux and is why it is not included in this version download for UNIX's, however the most sensible is shell scripting for

he modern OS's.

How to Install the Java JRE

ny Java JRE 1.5.0_03 or newer is suitable to run this application.

irst you should have downloaded either a .bin or .sh file called SOMETHING LIKE(only)" java_ee_sdk-6u2-jdk-linux-ml.sh" or "jdk-1_5_0_03-linux-i586.bin" BUT

hould not have SDK or JDK in the name if your simply a java application user, it should have JRE in its name.

he easiest way to install it is to place it in the directory you want , that will be in your user directoryor a sub-folder of that.

user directory is the name of the user you log into your Linux system with. While "root" is a user, root user is only required if you need to change the permissions of the fi

o the sub rank user can use them, paticularly if you need to install an application.

ome Distros(flavours) of Linux do not have a direct "root" user you can log in as so you must use either the "super user terminal(command line)" or use the "super user file

rowser(GUI visual mouse inter face)" to change the permissions.

ou may need to allow the user to "execute" the file, so you potentially need to become the "root" user to "chown" the permissions of the executable file in a terminal or

uperuser file browser.

When the executable JRE installer is in the folder you want it (example here /home/nicephotog/Downloads ), open your terminal ,

en issue the command alike mine here, "cd /home/nicephotog/Downloads" (note the space between CD and the path) to set the terminal "current directory in

se" (the one you want to install to and execute the JRE installer in)

hen simply write"./" followed on that line with no spaces the file name of the executable e.g. "./java_ee_sdk-6u2-jdk-linux-ml.sh" or "./jdk-1_5_0_03-linux-i586.bin"

ou then you see text of the "license agreement" for your JRE or JDK or SDK. You must continue to press enter-key untill you are given the choice "i agree [yes no]"

ype onto the prompt "yes" if you agree to the license terms and after press "enter".

How to configure your JRE to operate in Linux

our JRE needs to be recognised automatically to start java applications and applets! by issuing the command "java" on the terminal command line or by .sh shell scripts

ou must now enter super user mode and open /etc/profileLinux system configuration file

HIS IS DANGEROUS BUT EASY - SO BE CAREFUL!!!

pen it with either gedit or Kwrite text editor(any basic utility text tool editor is ok but you must be in super user mode)

ow go to the last line and put these("these" are my folder paths YOUR FOLDER PATHS IN YOUR MACHINE ARE WHAT YOU PLACE INTO /etc/profile)

ommand lines (NOTE: the first is really for JDK and SDK)

xport JAVA_HOME= /home/nicephotog/Downloads/jdk-1_5_0_03

xport java=/home/nicephotog/Downloads/jdk-1_5_0_03/bin/java

EXT ALSO if you have a JDK or SDK for java but if you can find the folder path in the JRE it is worth also puting into /etc/profile

xport jar=/home/nicephotog/Downloads/jdk-1_5_0_03/bin/jar

nally , save the file , logout , and restart.

OTE: $PATH variable is a little more complex and another difficult but not too dangerous part of the top of /etc/profile lines that should be altered but not required here.

ind a "Linux environment variables Tutorial".

When you finnish editing /etc/profile , save and exit the editor then logout and restart your machine.

How to run the EBLA2-C17 2 application

ut the Sidewinder application folder into a folder in your user directory by dragging and dropping it from the "ark" or some other archiver GUI interface. (note: you only

eed to have a JRE installed not configured into the OS system files and edit the paths below mentioned, in the commandline in "startsidewinder.sh" to operates the

pplication)

pen the file called "startsidewinder.sh" and you will see this next line (is for larger computers - RAM -Xms256m -Xmx512m)...

/home/nicephotog/Downloads/jdk1.6.0_22/bin/java-classpath "/home/nicephotog/EBLA2LX/origin-SRC-

EBLA2/SideWinderColourBalancer/engine"-Xms256m -Xmx512m SidewinderPhotoColourBalancer

Next would be wise to use as the command line EXAMPLE model because most computers are above 2GB now!

/home/nicephotog/Downloads/jdk1.6.0_22/bin/java -classpath "/home/nicephotog/SideWinderColourBalancer/engine" -Xms512m -Xmx1024m

SidewinderPhotoColourBalancer

r on a small computer(for smaller devices - RAM -Xms128m -Xmx256m) , but you may experience minor problems above 8 mega-pixel size images

/home/nicephotog/Downloads/jdk1.6.0_22/bin/java-classpath "/home/nicephotog/EBLA2LX/origin-SRC-

EBLA2/SideWinderColourBalancer/engine"-Xms128m -Xmx256m SidewinderPhotoColourBalancer

EPLACE THESE FOLLOWING PARTS OF THE LINE (NOTE - THE COMMAND LINES IN THIS DOCUMENT AND THEIR FOLDER PATHS ARE ONLY

N EXAMPLE AS A GUIDE!!!)

EPLACE THIS "/home/nicephotog/EBLA2LX/origin-SRC-EBLA2/SideWinderCol our Balancer/engi ne"WITH WHERE YOU PUT THE APP. ALL THE

WAY INTO THE APP.

WITH THE ENGINE FOLDER "/your/complete/path/to/the/application/folder/engine"

ND THIS "/home/nicephotog/Downloads/jdk1.6.0_22/bin/ java" , THE FULL PATH TO THE "java" EXECUTABLE (IMPORTANT - Linux is alike any unix

ystem, the names of files and folders are letter case sensitive)

ou must use the full path to the "java" executable to be used, and the full path to and with the "/engine" folder, this is because of a small glitch in some

nux versions in determining the classpath at runtime inside the program and because a suitable startermotor has not been built because of such a problem

omewhere!!!

o run Sidewinder, be sure to check on your "file properties menu"(right-click on the file in the GUI) that the "startsidewinder.sh" script is set as executable and all users caxecute it.

hen simply click or double click on the script file startsidewinder.shand it should run.

o run sidewinder you only need to change the lines of the script as previously told but also only need a JRE installed(install decompressed from the JRE's installer "ready t

e configured", however it is good practice and helpful to other java applications to configure the JRE into the OS system files apart that being the right action to commit.)

or Mac users and other UNIX distributions not Linux, to Hazard a guess, change in the startsidewinder.sh, the shebang line (the first and top line of the

hell script), from #!/bin/bash to #!/bin/sh also.However i do not know the /etc/profile system in those OS's or the login shells default or otherwise in use.You possibly

quire to write extra information using "chsh" command in the shell script. Other UNIX OS's than Linux will also require an installed JRE or JDK or SDK.

Make a Desktop convenience starter link

f you want to put a link to the startsidewinder.sh in Linux on your desktop for convenience, all you need to do is drag the startsidewinder.sh script icon from the

SideWinderColourBalancer/ folder and release it over the Desktop area and popup menu appears asking if you want to link the script file to the Desktop folder, select an

ress on "link to here" selection of the menu.

PATH if you want to set it(which you really should but be careful)

Here is an extract of near the top of the /etc/profile Linux configuration logon startup script

# /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1))

# and Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...).

Here is an excerpt of the lines near the top in a Linux /etc/profile

notice that PATHdoes not have the $ sign with it, it is only used "when the script wants to use the contents of the variable".

notice there are two lines with similar information in the double quotes, and each "path" in there are separated by a colon :symbol.

on the end of both lines inside the double quotesput the full path to the /bin folder of the JRE or SDK/JDK with a colon on the left but not on the end

if [ "ìd -u`" -eq 0 ]; then

PATH="/usr/lib/distcc/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

else

PATH="/usr/lib/distcc/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games"

fiexport PATH

redone, appears as example below

if [ "ìd -u`" -eq 0 ]; then

PATH="/usr/lib/distcc/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/home/nicephotog/Downloads/jdk-1_5_0_03/bin"

else

PATH="/usr/lib/distcc/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/home/nicephotog/Downloads/jdk-1_5_0_03/bin"

fi

export PATH

OR you could put between the "if fi" this...

if [ "ìd -u`" -eq 0 ]; thenPATH="/usr/lib/distcc/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

else

PATH="/usr/lib/distcc/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games"

fi

PATH=$PATH.":/home/nicephotog/Downloads/jdk-1_5_0_03/bin"

export PATH
