CIAreaMaximum filter not working

I've written a command line routine that compares two image files, in the hope of determining if the two files are different. Basically the tool only compares whether the dimensions are different or whether the pixel values are sufficiently different. So the routine has a distance option which

Re: exporting image files to disk using CGImageDestination

This has fixed itself. I don't know how or why. But after installing 10.9.2 and rebooting the tiff files with varying alpha values look the same as png files. I don't think it was the update to 10.9.2 but I've got no proof, but instead I think it is related to the fact that I've occasionally

exporting image files to disk using CGImageDestination

I've written a command line tool that takes an image file (when testing I'm using JPEG files) and applies a custom CIFilter (a naive chroma key filter I've written) and saves a file to disk. Sampling the command line tool when processing files shows it is spending 90% of its time writing the

Writing a core image custom filter

Apologies for the cross posting from quartz-dev. But it seems these days that it is hard to work out which forum, lists/devforum and then which of the discussions to then post. I've been playing with creating a core image filter for OS X. I've got simple chroma key filter working as I would

Writing a custom core image filter part 2

In the CoreImage Programming guide on the discussion about writing a custom filter one of the steps described it to write a custom attributes method called customAttributes. I used as a template of what I needed to do the customAttributes method implemented in Apple's sample code for

Thanks to Marcel, John McCall, and Clark Smith Cox III for addressing the question I was trying to ask, apologies to others that the question was unclear. So it seems that because ARC provides compatibility between ARC and non-ARC code unlike how garbage collection worked with duplicated

ARC and autorelease pools

I've realized that my understanding of ARC is not as good as I thought it was. So I'll be asking couple of questions. With ARC I don't understand why autorelease pools are needed anymore except for with objects passed by reference. What I mean by that is that class methods like: NSString
