GREYCStoration algorithms in Active Pixels 4
GREYCStoration open source algorithms for image denoising and interpolation will work in Active Pixels.
With this algorithms you can:
- intellectual resize you image (it really better that simple bicubic!).
- apply very good image denoising techniques comparable for instance, Noise Ninja, Neat Image.
We have to say thanks to David Tschumperlé for GREYCStoration algorithm.

Active Pixels 4 news
There will be another cool moment in Active Pixels – it will support VISTA Icons with PNG compression. Also i already kills all bugs with icons and it masks. Sometimes AP2-3 open ico-files incorrectly, sometimes it ignores mask or alpha-channel or icon palette. Thats bugs already fixed.
As early version of AP you can use AP4 as powerful icon editor with full list of features – AP supports many frames with export-format tuning and alpha-channels in Icon. So in future you can throw your pay icon editor in the trash.
Vista Icon opened in Active Pixels 4
Active Pixels 3 download link deleted

Developing Active Pixels 4 …
Development of Active Pixels 4 was begun more than 2 months ago.
In this time the absolutely new Pixels interface was designed. It looks lite, but have nice possiblities.
A structure of the program completely was changed.
- The basic ini-file won’t be found any more next to the program itself. It will be in a folder presets.
- Active Pixels 4 will support any languages. The support of the languages will come true through the ini-files in a directory presets/languages. It will be possible to add the new languages independently, their number isn’t restricted.
- The start of Active Pixels 4 will be practically instantaneously.
- The program will be 50% less in size.
Nevertheless what Ap4 will be the else more functional than 3 version.
Now Ap 4 looks like
Active Pixels 4 – more stability
Come on many forums, I see that people are unhappy, especially the instability program. Many users of Active Pixels program does not work as hoped. The code Active Pixels 4 overwritten “from scratch”. It will be 100% new. I hope to correct any errors that exist in the program.
Active Pixels 4 plans for future
Hello, dear readers. Active Pixels 3 and higher is using new undo engine from early AP3 project. This engine is very memory economy, but a very buggy. I think to use old undo engine from AP2. This engine will work faster, but it more memory expensive. It will be more stability work with undo/redo in Active Pixels 4.
And also i want to delete skins, and use absolutely standart inteface. It will improve loading speed and small down AP4 exe-file size in 2 times. What do you think?
