synthmaker and image processing

[tester]

I have a question to all who deal with graphics. To what degree - synthmaker can be used for image processing? Automated processing (like color processing) according to math formulas, plus maybe some limited cursor selecting on images, plus - comparative processing on image sequences.

It's pretty limited... or at least not very practical to do major image processing.

There is only one primitive which processes image data in it's entirety and that's the Bitmap Area primitive with the colour matrix input.

Other than that you'd have to process pixel-by-pixel with the get/set pixel primitives and that's likely too slow to be of any real use.

Ouch.
I'm curious if they improved it in flowstone.
Otherwise - max msp?
I'm looking for something like... SM
