Personally, I use imagemagick (or analogous tools) whenever I am dealing with images for myself. However, when I am providing software for other people to use (or when I am thinking about doing so), I prefer to support the most likely data formats. Currently, in J, this can be difficult. Meanwhile, "convolution" is a fairly generic term (not quite as general as "summation" or "integration" but close), especially in the context of image processing. Fourier Transforms and B-Splines are both examples based on convolution, which can be relevant in image processing. But convolution can also be used in blurs and edge detection (for example). -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
