colorCurve.JS

A javascript [color curve] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_(tonality)) editor component

The idea is to recreate the Color curves editor from Photoshop/Gimp in Javascript. The javascript code is based on GIMP curves code, so it have some improvement over the Adobe Photoshop's one.

You can see it live [here] (http://s.vaguilera.com/projects/colorcurve)

How do I use colorcurve.js?

Just include ColorCurve.min.js on your page and create a canvas for the curve. The canvas for the curve should be square (same width and height)

<script src="../src/Colorcurve.js" />
...
<canvas id="Curve" height="256" width="256"></canvas>   
...

Then, when page is loaded you should init the curve passing the name of canvas as a parameter and the callback function to call when the curve is modified.

var Curve
Curve = new ColorCurve('Curve', function(){  console.log('Curve modified');  });

Into the callback function you can access the values directly from the curve. The values are in 0-255 format

var Curve
Curve = new ColorCurve('Curve', function() { 
	console.log(curve.rgb[0]);
});

Running the included example

The project includes an example of three curves modifying the RGB channels of an image. To run the example in Chrome you need to put the html and scripts into a webserver. If you execute the example directly without a server, Chrome raises a Cross-Image exception loading the image.
