NAME

       ppmrelief - run a Laplacian relief filter on a portable pixmap

SYNOPSIS

       ppmrelief [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads a portable pixmap as input.  Does a Laplacian relief filter, and writes a portable pixmap as output.

       The Laplacian relief filter is described in "Beyond Photography" by Holzmann, equation 3.19.  It's a sort of edge-detection.

NAME

       pamoil - turn a PAM image into an oil painting

SYNOPSIS

       pamoil [-n N] [pamfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads a Netpbm image as input.  Does an "oil transfer", and writes the same type of Netpbm image as output.

       The oil transfer is described in "Beyond Photography" by Holzmann, chapter 4, photo 7.  It's a sort of localized smearing.

       The  smearing  works like this: First, assume a grayscale image.  For each pixel in the image, pamoil looks at a square neighborhood around
       it.  pamoil determines what is the most common pixel intensity in the neighborhood, and puts a pixel of that intensity into the  output  in
       the same position as the input pixel.

       For color images, or any arbitrary multi-channel image, pamoil computes each channel (e.g. red, green, and blue) separately the same way as
       the grayscale case above.

       At the edges of the image, where the regular neighborhood would run off the edge of the image, pamoil uses a clipped neighborhood.

OPTIONS

       -n size
              This is the size of the neighborhood used in the smearing.  The neighborhood is this many pixels in all four directions.

              The default is 3.
