Have you looked at the source code to Gimp?

Never mind, I see this has already been mentioned.

Doesn't gimp have something similar you could just nick??

Nope, or else I would have used it. They don't even have a decent anti-aliased Euclidean Distance Transform, let alone a "Softer" Drop Shadow / Outer Glow.

This is the effect that needs to be reverse engineered and implemented:

Outer Glow, Soft



This is the Euclidean Distance Transform:



Outer Glow, Precise (obviously this uses the Euclidean Distance Transform)

Is it okay if it's programmed in Java?

Yes. I would work with you to produce the appropriate C++ implementation. But you could write the effects code in Java to test it out and make sure it produces results similar to Photoshop. The disadvantage is that you wouldn't be able to use my existing application framework.

I need a talented programmer with a knack for math and research papers to help me reverse engineer Photoshops "Layer Effects" features and implement them in C++. I've already made progress on it in my open source project:

https://github.com/vinniefalco/LayerEffects

There's a Windows executable up for download. This is a paying gig, just PM me. The results will be open sourced so your name will get out there (and the public will benefit).

Thanks!
