Thanks!

This is exactly what I needed!

just curious: why do you want to eliminate every second line of an image?


Video cameras interlace two images taken a fraction of a second apart into a single frame, leading to interlacing artifacts (a serrated edge on fast moving objects).

Your script will eliminate one of the fields, thereby isolating a single "time slice" of reality.

This comes at the expense of 50% loss in vertical resolution. Luckily, an HD image has 1080 pixels to start with, so 540 pixels vertical is plenty for web use.

Thanks, can't wait to try it!

Hi Josh,

make a stack with 2 images, call them "P1" and "P2"
load a picture in the inspector into image "p1"
set the width and height to 140 in the inspector

make a new button

paste this script into the button

on mouseUp
    put the width of image "P1" into theImagWidth
    put the height of image "P1" into theImageHeight
    put the imagedata of image "P1" into theDataToWorkon
    if theDataToWorkon = "" then exit mouseUp
    put length (theDataToWorkon) into HowLong
    put empty into destImageData

    -- one Pixel = 4 Bytes = 4 chars
    put theImagWidth * 4 into OneRowOfImage
    put theImageHeight into soManyPixelRows

    put 0 into theCounter
repeat with i = 1 to (HowLong - OneRowOfImage) step (OneRowOfImage*2)
        put  char i to (i + OneRowOfImage-1) of theDataToWorkon  after
destImageData
    end repeat

    set the width of image "P2" to theImagWidth
    -- watch out for images with uneven heigths
    set the height of image "P2" to (theImageHeight/2)
    set the imagedata of image "P2" to destImageData
end mouseUp

this should give you in "P2" an image half the height of P1 with every
second line of the original image.

it works for me, attention, almost no error checking in here,
it is important to have the width and height correct otherwise the image
will be distorted

just curious: why do you want to eliminate every second line of an image?

Here's one for the image processing gurus out there:

How difficult is it to take an image, and create a new image
containing every OTHER line from it (e.g., just the odd lines) so the
resulting picture is half the height?

Once you knew the width of the image, isn't it just a loop that
copies tWidth pixels, then skips the next tWidth, and so on?

Thanks!
