Build a Windows application that mimics the Goo effect to distort photos with classic Windows interface. ## Deliverables **Requirements** Build a Windows application that mimics the Goo effect to distort photos. There are plenty of Java versions but I'd like it built into a Windows app. There is an app very similar to what I need, although I would like a few additions. Please download the trial (2MB, very small) and you can get an idea of what I need: <[login to view URL]> The interface is clean and easy to understand, and the software has a very small footprint which is desireable. I would like a classic Windows-type GUI, in the style of MS Paint, with a simple toolbar on the left. Programming language is flexible, whatever you can use to make it work properly. If you can find an open source app to use as a base, this is fine. **Core Components Required** **Functionality** * User opens any photo. File format should include JPG and GIF, others if possible (BMP, TIF). * Mimic the Goo effect, which uses a resizable lens which can be dragged across a photo to create a warping effect. Here is a simple Java version which will give you an idea. The software mentioned above is a better example because it contains the resizable lens but this will show the desired effect <[login to view URL]> * Insert rezisable clip art. I will have a handful of clip art images that the user can insert into the picture and resized on the fly. These are mainly talk bubbles and text boxes which need to be transparent. See example below. * Ability to insert text. TTF toolbar (font/size selection) if possible. I have a few fonts I would like included in the install. * Crop tool * Filter, if possible, to render a "comic" look. See example below. Should have slider or other way to control amount of filter. **File Menu:** * File > Open/Save/Save As * Edit > Undo/Redo/Reset To Original * Print > (with optional "fit to screen" if possible) * View > Zoom In/Zoom Out/Fit To Screen * Help > Tutorial/About/Register (Tutorial will link to a web page) **Tool Bar** * Wand tool (to control Goo effect), needs slider to control size * Insert Text * Insert Clip Art * Filter (for comic effect) * Crop **Software** * Standard Windows installer * Classic Windows GUI, in the style of MS paint * Registration function. Unregistered, I would like any image created to to be watermarked, and print ability disabled. * App would be branded with company and software name and I would need to retain and own the code. **Basic Functionality Steps** * User opens a photo * User selects area to warp utilizing goo-type tool * User applies "comic" rendering filter (if this is implemented) * User crops photo as desired * User adds clip art and text as desired * User saves to graphic file (file type to be determined) or prints Here is an example I created in Photoshop so you can see how I used the clip art and text (will open in new window): <a href="[login to view URL]" http:="" caricature="" www.workingperformer.com="">[login to view URL]</a> 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows?
