Image Inc.: Image Compositing Tool

Image Inc The purpose of this utility is to blend existing images in a very fast and easy way, using a layer mask for transparency. The process is simple ... load the base picture followed by a top layer image, then add a mask and the program automatically merges everything together. Ideal for anyone who doesn't want to use a major graphics application for this task.

• Photo Blending : One possible use for this application would be to mix parts of photographs together. For example, if you wanted to enhance the sky in one picture by fading-in the clouds from another, as shown below ...
• Texture Effects : Another handy feature is the ability to add distressed textures ...
• Edge & Frames : You can also use this program to quicky apply edge effects using various image masks. The background could be a plain colour or another image/texture ...
• 3D Texture Maps : The original purpose of this utility is to help 3D users build texture map variations without the need for more complex editing software. For example, you can use it to smoothly blend different skin textures for your Poser characters using gradient masks ...
