Title: ColorIt - a coloring book kind of drawing program.
Post by: Dav on October 26, 2020, 05:29:06 pm
This isn't a serious program, I just felt making something while enjoying a cup of coffee today. You color a line drawing image with basic colors, like you would with a coloring book image using crayons. Select a color, fill in color where desired. There's an undo & restart. The line drawing supplied here was done with @SierraKen 's paint Pixels 8 app posted on this forum. You can replace my default image with one of your own, just name it colorit-image.png and make it 700x700. There are 3 files in the .zip - make sure they all are in the same directory.

Hi Dav,
I had an idea for converting an image to a ColorIt Layout here is first crude attempt taking this image:
and getting shades outlined in black with shades in for grey scales:
Probably have better luck with cartoon or less detailed images ;-)) PS, some blunder is causing white line at bottom edge as circled with "?"

Animated images returning best output. Nice work, Bplus!

Bplus,
I think that some of the problem may be with the image itself. On average, the 'colour' level is quite flat. Not a lot of differences between colours. (see attched) Perhaps a 'daytime' image may work better. I even tried converting to 'cartoon' in Gimp. It kind of worked but needed greater contrast in colours.

Curious. Is it possible for you to modify 'your' cartoon step to draw slightly thicker lines?

Neat pic, @bplus. It does look like a hard one to convert to a line drawing - I'll play around with too.

I also had more intense grey scales by using a much smaller nRound (see code) variable, screen shot was at 64 rounding to 4 shades use 5, 10, 15... for different scales of detail.
