Effenberger effects::
Some effects which can be used are the javascript effects created by Christian Effenberger which may be downloaded from his site:
Note: No effenberger effects are distributed with this plugin to conform with CVI licensing constraints. To add an effect to the plugin, download the zip file from the site. Extract the effect files and place in the image_effects folder (in the global plugins folder.)
For instance, to add the Reflex effect, download reflex.zip, unzip it, and place reflex.js in the folder. Check the image_effects foder in the zenphoto extensions to see if there is already header file. If not create one in the plugins/image_effects folder. Use as a model one of the other Effenberger effects header files.
Included are some typical Effenberger files as examples. Simply provide the appropriate js script as above to activate them.
