Real-time Image Effects

The FSI Server provides various effects, which are available in real-time and can be applied to the images before delivery.

This section describes and visualizes the included effects using an example image. The left image corresponds to the original and the right image shows the applied effect(s).

Adds a glow effect to the image by enlarging and summarizing all bright areas, so you have the impression the image shines.


Solarize

Applies a solarize effect that negates all pixels above a certain value. Solarization allows the alienation of images.


Threshold
LevelLow (Int) >= 0 <= 255

Example invert(red)
Version 1.0


Inverts one channel, all channels or the brightness of the image.


Posterize
Level (Int) >= 0 <= 255
Example posterize(11)
Version 1.0


Applies a posterize effect, reducing the image to a limited number of color levels. Posterize is a separation of the tonal values with a simultaneous tonal value reduction.

Select(Clear)

Select(Invert)
Version 16.07


Limit subsequent effects to image regions using clipping paths and/or alpha channels. range parameters.

Supported commands:

New: clears old and starts a new selection.

Add: adds region to existing selection.

Sub: subtracts region from existing selection.

Clear: clears the current selection.

Invert: inverts the current selection. T

The New, Add and Sub commands require a range with appropriate range parameters. Possible range values are:

Path: Selects a path defined in the image. Requires the number of the path are range parameter.

Alpha: Selects one of the alpha channels defined in the image. Requires the number of the alpha channel as range parameter.

Rect: Selects a rectangular region within the image. Requires the rectangle coordinates as range parameters.
