ideas for jave!?

hi there

what about the selection mode? for image 2 ascii jave needs to know
the lightnes of every character.. why not use this knowledge to make a
"only lighter characters" "only darker characters" "add" and
"substract" mode for the selection?

that would also open up new editing features like brushes!

you have a antialiased brush like this

   ,,..   
  7WWWWF  
'(WWWWWW)'
\JJWWWWJJ/
/TTMMMMTT\
.(MMMMMM).
  JMMMML  
   ``''   

and you start drawing.. the characters drawn and the ones below them
will be added/subtracted in their brightness value and the
corresponding character will be placed there.. you may even be able to
set opacity

this would also make "invert" (also called "negative" possible for
hand-refined asciified images if refining them in inverted mode is
easier or if you would like it on a black surface with white writing
and only have the ascii, not the original image

       ._.  /MMMMMMMm_JMMMMQe~    M

(mark the image to see what i mean)

it would open up a big variety of editing possibilities similar to
those in graphic editing programs.. wich is sometimes what you really
need. think of a blur or a brightness/contrast enhancement or
transparent layers or.....

oh and what about a ascii to image converter? :)

sorry if i have bothered you but i am a highly crazy over-creative
media designer :)) and ...ehmm.. that's just another of my spontaneous
ideas i have but can't realize myself
