Photoshop style Blend Modes for WPF with Shaders

Adam Kinney — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 18:24:00 GMT

Cory Plotts has taken on Robby Ingebretsen's original challenge and has created a Photoshop style blend modes library for WPF. This means that using Cory's library you can use Blend modes you are familiar with from Photoshop while developing a WPF Application. Familiar modes like Linear Burn, Hard Light, Overlay are all executed using pixel shaders and specifically multi-input shader effects. The source code and binaries are available on Cory's blog.

Jaime Rodriguez came back from MIX09 and thought "Hey, I bet my WPFFX library could run in the new Silverlight 3 beta". So he added a few #ifdefs, compiled and waa-laa! The WPFFX library is running in the Silverlight 3 beta and we have video to prove it.

Jaime has all of the details in his blog post about the success.

WPF 3.5 SP1 offers killer graphic capabilities that were demonstrated in the last video with David Teitlebaum. In this video, David has dropped by to help us announce the WPF Pixel Shader Effects Library. The library includes 23 Effects and 26 Transitions and is available with source code at http://codeplex.com/wpffx.

After shooting the video, we realized we didn't show all of the effects and any of the transitions. To see the library in action check out the WPF Effects Library Demo video.

After shooting the WPF Effects Library interview with David Teitlebaum and realizing we didn't show all of the effects and any of the transitions, we put together this short video. Very little dialogue here to distract from the beauty of the Effects and Transitions. Cue the music...

Nikola Mihaylov came by the studio to explain what a WPF Pixel Shader really is and the code involved and making one. He has a great post on his blog explaining how to get started with Pixel Shaders along with a custom VS project template to make it even easier.

In his demonstration Nikola shows off his own effects along with Anders Bursjöö’s Grayscale Effect and Rakesh Ravuri's Wave Reflection Effect.
