Lightsaber Effect Tool v1.1.0 is a Windows application I wrote for rotoscoping photos. All the rotoscoped pictures on my site (http://www.parabolagames.com/tobaqaf) were done using Lightsaber Effect Tool v1.1.0. To use this program, you don't need to be a computer expert and you don't need Photoshop or any other programs either. www.parabolagames.com/tobaqaf/?page=let_1_1_0 |

Visual Basic 6.0, actually. If I knew C, I would have used it though  . I'm going to work some more on the program and add another glow style. |

Uh, click and drag on the picture. From where you want it to start, to where you want it to stop. Then wait, it might take up to a few miutes, depending on how fast your computer is.

If you are trying to rotoscope against a light-colored picture, it doesn't show up very well. P.P.S. Did it show up at first and then not show up in the saved picture? If it does that, you are looking in the wrong pic - it saves in a new picture. |

I used the point function to get the long color value for each pixel. It then converts this value to hex to get the rgb values out. It uses the equations I made up to find the rgb values to put back into the picturebox using the pset function. |
