Images

This week was an incredibly important one for my project, images. Because I'm doing a children's ebook, illustrations and images play an important role in what I'm doing.  I realized as I worked that I haven't even scratched the surface of images and will need to do a lot more to get to where I need to be.  For effort and grading this week I'd give myself a solid 85% tops, I wasn't able to get to the coding and learning until late in the week but when I was able to hit it I hit it hard.  I think one of the frustrating things about coding is I can feel like I've worked super hard and see only a few lines of code, but those few lines represent a lot and accomplish what needed to happen.


With this code I had to trouble soot how to first even get the newImageRect to show, which for some reason took entirely too long.  I'm finding more and more that when something isn't working it's because of something small, in this case not putting "" in.  I then tried to learn about masking and that took a good chunk of time, but I finally got it.  Below is the code and result.

Another thing with images was adding effects to them like contrast, saturation, tiles, ect.  I found a picture, put it in and started adding effects to it.  I decided to end with another mask to make sure I was still understanding how to do it.  See the cause and effect below.
