Show my pictures (Smp)
======================

Smp represents a connection between an image viewer and an image editing program.
It is not a replacement of a  professional image editing program, but it has
the simplicity of in image viewer and the basic functions of such a program.

Smp currently shows the pictures and paintings without antialias for speed reasons, but it saves and print with it.

paintings are stored in a separate layer. To add the paintings to the picture you must press the "Apply" button in the Toolbar
or select the Menuitem in the "Edit" menu.

Currently I can not change the image pixel from the image data, so I must change the pixel directy. On large pictures
this take a long time. I hope I can change this in the future.


To do:
=======

  - write a description
  - add more languages
  - add stamp
  - add square pencil
  - change layout withous loading thumbs new - adjust the number of thumbs to the width of the page 
  - add edit objects, at the moment these are only resized
  - add rotate objects
  - save objects as project file
  - working as Icon editor
  - add autocorrection
  - add png options
  - add annimated gif
  - reactivate Foto Fix
  - ....


Know'n limitations/problems
===========================

  - drawing with antialias is not buffered currently, so I draw without it on the screen
    By adding objects to the picture or printing antialias will be used, if selected.
  - the colours in the palette are not in the correct order at the moment, because wxPalette.GetRGB(r,g,b) is not implemented yet
  - drawing Icons does not work correctly, because the pencil must paint under the line and not in the middle
  - brightness and contrast and set transparency are very slow, because im must working with the image pixel, wxImage.GetData()/SetData() dont return the image datas
  - count colours is very slow also, so at the moment only 256 is counted
  - convert colours is rudimentary, better way is wxQuantize, which is not implemented yet
    convert to 8bit gives 236 colours only with the builtin wxQuantize
  - no scanner support, because wxBasic can't handle windows dll at the moment
