Photoshop filters are quite easy to use, and besides PS does so much more that's critical; for example, using magic wand to select areas that I want to apply the filter to. I'm sure that could be done in Squeak, but I highly doubt it has. I have no doubt there's a lot of value in Squeak. Heck, I like components a lot; even COM components can add a lot of value (I know COM components can also add a lot of pain). But Squeak isn't going to replace applications. There's a lot of value in putting together the components to make a polished finished product. After all, it's not that hard to make your own MP3 player using standard components (Circuit Cellar has articles on it), but it is hard to make one with a good user interface like the iPod. --Tony

If I were to have to run a squeak VM just to do video / image processing, I'd refrain. Anything that they were showing can be done in Photoshop, yes even scriptable. But why script with Photoshop when ImageMagick is about a trillion time faster for doing the simple to very complex things Photoshop does. Not to mention re-inventing the wheel for image and video processing in squeak. But each has its points. It is just a matter of using what you have. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.
