Instagram Image Filters on iPhone
How does one go about adding image filters in an iPhone application? (similar to what Instagram and picplz have)
Folks,
I have made an attempt at replicating instagram and photoshop filters using pure CoreGraphics and direct pixel manipulation, not using OpenGL.

** UPDATE **
You also should consider this project: https://github.com/gobackspaces/DLCImagePickerController
Have you checked simple-iphone-image-processing? It is a “simple C++ class with an Objective-C wrapper that provides a set of common image processing tasks” as well as UIImage conversion. It provides:
- Canny edge detection
- Histogram equalisation
- Skeletonisation
- Thresholding, adaptive and global
- Gaussian blur (used as a preprocessing step for canny edge detection)
- Brightness normalisation
- Connected region extraction
- Resizing – using interpolation
Other C++ open source libraries are:
- http://cimg.sourceforge.net/
- http://filters.sourceforge.net/
Edit Also, take a look at this open-source code - https://github.com/OmidH/Filtrr
Sadly there is no CoreImage library in the iOS SDK so you have to use OpenGLES to do image processing, Apple have an example application that demonstrates several techniques.
