Inky Posts

I really shouldn't be doing this. I have much more important things to get on with. Then again, I never take all my holiday and this is a form of recreation. Anyhoo, I'm in the process of improving my Flickr plugin so that you can annotate your pictures with ink.

When you pull the picture out of Flickr you are given the option to "inkify" it and then it stores a new version of the picture back up on Flickr with the ink on top. Above is the first ever inkified picture.

You can see how useful this is going to be.....

I've not done any of that in the first version - it just renders the ink layer on top of the image and then posts it back, but it would not be hard to add shadow effects and stuff. The annotation is performed by a separate class, and so it would be ripe for extension. I've not really got the time (or inclination) to write a full blown pen driven bitmap editor, but if anyone else has.....
