Spotlight on Innovation--Apple's New Core Image Technology in Tiger

The upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference 2005, June 6-10, will focus on the latest edition of Mac OS X, i.e. "Tiger" or 10.4. One of the new technologies in Tiger is Core Image. Core Image, an innovative new Mac OS X Tiger technology, provides high performance, floating-point image processing services. By harnessing the tremendous pixel processing power of the GPU or Velocity Engine, Core Image performs complex per-pixel imaging operations at blistering speeds to create spectacular visual effects and transitions. Code along as we show you how to add image processing to your own application using any of 100 built-in effects, or create your own custom algorithms and deploy them as Image Units. This is a must-experience session for developers of image enhancement software, video effects systems, color management solutions, and scientific visualization packages. Check out the details on what will be covered at WWDC 2005 on this Apple Web page.
