NAME
     imgworks - visual tool for enhancing image files

SYNOPSIS
     imgworks [ imgfile[:index] ] [-nofork]


NOTE
     imgworks is superseded by the newer imgtool imgview imgworks is not
     supported on SGI's Onyx4 UltimateVision graphics systems.


DESCRIPTION
     imgworks is a visual tool for altering and enhancing color and monochrome
     images.  imgworks provides a graphical user interface that shows the
     effect of each operation as it is performed.  Additionally, you can undo
     or redo a series of operations.

     You can use imgworks to manipulate images in the following ways:
     flipping, resizing, cropping, and rotating them; converting color to
     monochrome; creating photographic negatives; adjusting brightness,
     contrast, and color balance; thresholding and posterizing (quantizing);
     performing histogram equalization; and blurring or sharpening them.

     imgworks can also display a histogram providing statistical information
     about an image.  The histogram display updates itself dynamically as each
     operation is performed.

     The optional index after the file name is useful on multi-resolution
     images like Photo CD, to select the desired sub-image.  You can use
     imginfo to get a complete list of all sub-images for a given file.

     -nofork
          Specifies that the imgworks should run in the foreground, when
          invoked from the shell.  The default is to fork and run in the
          background during startup.  This option is provided for consistency
          with the media tools, such as movieplayer and soundeditor.

     For more information, please refer to the IRIS Utilities Guide and the
     online help.
