JavaScript Image Effects Library: glfx.js

These days most part of the software and programming technologies is converging on the web. Reciprocally all modern browsers and web platforms are undergoing major changes to accommodate the latest ‘web-enabled’ technologies.

Take the example of image manipulation and graphical effects. Previously dependent on hardware and operating system, image and graphic manipulation technologies are widely supported on the web now. JavaScript that was once used to run small functions is now a comprehensive library capable of building complete applications. It is even good for image manipulation and graphic effects on the web.

The new glfx.js JavaScript image effects library is a perfect example of how graphical effects can be rendered within a web browser.

flfx.js uses WebGL for real-time photo adjustment in browser. In fact, it uses your graphic card for image effects that would be impossible to apply in real-time with JavaScript alone.

Thе library comes with a wide set οf built-іn-filters including brightness/contrast, curves, sepia, hue/saturation, noise, lens blur, tilt shift, hexagonal pixelate аnԁ much more.
