ChocoFlop: CoreImage Photo Editing

ChocoFlopChocoFlop is an image manipulation program based entirely on Apple’s CoreImage technology which takes advantages of the processing power in your GPU (graphics card). It’s a very lightweight program and has the ability to apply filters in real time, with no long term damaging effect to your respective image. Chocoflop takes advantage of CoreImage’s built in support for many file formats, as well as layers, masks, selections and paint tools. It even features the ability to filter high-resolution HDR images at 128 bits per pixel. It is built to have no learning curve for Photoshop users and features many of the more obscure abilities of CoreImage, such as rich text layers.

All in all, if you are looking for a lightweight, but comparably powerful photo editor, ChocoFlop is a good choice. Keep in mind, ChocoFlop is still in alpha and can become unstable, though I personally had very few problems. ChocoFlop requires Growl as well as OS X 10.4, and is available as free download.

    Core Image is the best. However, I like to stick to the developer sample app “Core Image fun House”.

    The iPad has been presented this week and alongside its introduction, iOS 4.3 made its appearance and will be shipped with the new iPad. Apple also announced that the iOS 4.3 software update will be available on the same day the new iPad will be on Apple Store tables and shelves: March 11. As you may know, iOS 4.3 will present a number of new features such as iTunes Home Sharing and possibly the most anticipated feature, the Personal Hotspot.

    The folks over at Tapbots have released an update to their Twitter client for the iPhone and iPod touch. http://www.itube-stream.de.tl This update adds a couple of useful features. One of these features gives you the ability to add sleep time for its push notifications. This allows you to set a block of time to turn off notifications from Twitter so that you can sleep easy and uninterrupted. Another useful feature is the ability to only receive notifications from people that you follow. Thirdly, have you ever reported a spammer or blocked someone and had to live with the fact that their tweets were still polluting your timeline? http://www.anysim.net Well fret no mo because once you block or spam someone with this new update, their tweets will be automatically removed.
