I made some basic changes to BringItIn, hopefully making it easier to use.

BringItin, like the new Sprite program, now uses templates.  There are two supplied templates that basically generate the same ucl before.  One is for direct coloring algs and the other is for non-direct.

Formula writes can now create their own templates.  Template files reside in the BringItin directory and end with the extension ".tpl".  So just copy one of the files, modify it to suit your needs, save it to a new file name, and the next time you start BringItIn it will be available.

I added a slightly new feature after Keith wrote and mentioned it.   It's a new parameter called clipping. Basically if you have an image that has lots of transparency surrounding a central image, it will mask out the transparent region outside of the image, leaving a rectangular region surrounding your image.  For images with no transparency it won't do anything. 

This is version 1.6180339, because that's my favorite numbers.  The next version will probably be 2.71828.

The beautiful andes website has forums, so if you have questions about BringItin, feel free to post them there or here.

Also consider using BringItIn and Jos Leys Droste effect coloring to create an image to contributie to the Infinite Charity project.

As always, BringItIn is free for commercial and private use.

Mark, thanks and you mentioned Sprite, I read the user guide (pdf) and in using the Sprite  program, I cannot find the images in UF to bring it in with.  The sprite saves the image in a different format then UF will read? There is no destination folder? 

Any idea what I may be doing wrong? Know of any other tuts out there I can get my hands on? [=

I will download the new bring it in, I was not successful in using that older version and hopefully I will get this one to work! 

Thank you for your work and dedication to creating fun and imaginative tools for us to stay creative!

Dinese, I'm not sure if you mean problems with Sprite or BringItIn. In any case, have you looked at this help page for Sprite?

The destination folder (if you follow the example) is the UF formula folder. You use it like any other coloring method that you got from the database.

Thank you for your help, I stuck them in there...now it's a matter of finding them.  Trial and error are my only tools now.

 

Thanks again! [ =
