IMGWORKS(1)IMGWORKS(1)NAMEimgworks - visual tool for enhancing image files
SYNOPSISimgworks [ imgfile[:index] ] [-nofork]
NOTEimgworks is superseded by the newer imgtool imgview imgworks is not
supported on SGI's Onyx4 UltimateVision graphics systems.
DESCRIPTIONimgworks is a visual tool for altering and enhancing color and monochrome
images. imgworks provides a graphical user interface that shows the
effect of each operation as it is performed. Additionally, you can undo
or redo a series of operations.
You can use imgworks to manipulate images in the following ways:
flipping, resizing, cropping, and rotating them; converting color to
monochrome; creating photographic negatives; adjusting brightness,
contrast, and color balance; thresholding and posterizing (quantizing);
performing histogram equalization; and blurring or sharpening them.
imgworks can also display a histogram providing statistical information
about an image. The histogram display updates itself dynamically as each
operation is performed.
The optional index after the file name is useful on multi-resolution
images like Photo CD, to select the desired sub-image. You can use
imginfo to get a complete list of all sub-images for a given file.
