Question

Does anyone know or can point me in the right direction on how to reproduce the Photoshop Image/Adjustments/Photo filters… in Flash with AS3. Is the same result that you get when you put a filter over the lenses of a camera. I exclude using tint and hue from the start because it doesn’t help me at all, I think could get this from code by using color matrix class or convolution filter, any ideas??

Answer 1

ColorMatrixFilter is definitely your best bet.. Here’s a quick example on making a DisplayObject black & white.

var bnw:Array = [1.2,0,0,0,0,1.2,0,0,0,0,1.2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0];
var filter:ColorMatrixFilter = new ColorMatrixFilter(bnw);

yourDisplayObject.filters = [filter];

The actual values confuse the heck out of me, I just play around. It mostly makes sense.. This will give you a little more info:
