Imagelab

A Freeware greyscale image processing package with a few nice touches. Features include scaling, contrast/brightness adjust, linear distribution, equal distribution, median filter, dilation, erosion, edge enhancement and the ability to display any of an image's 8 bitplanes. An invaluable feature is the ability to design your own filters and over 20 of these are supplied on disk. A number of greyscale adjustment filters are also supplied. Blocks may be cut and pasted between images and two images can be merged together to create some interesting effects. The ability to convert mono IMGs into true greyscale images is most helpful for those of you who do not have greyscale scanners. Imagelab is restricted to loading its own B_W format, AIM format or uncompressed IFFs but external conversion utilities allow GIF, TIFF, Degas and IMG format to be converted to B_W and vice versa. Although the program runs in mono, all work is actually performed in 256 greyscale mode.
