Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards saving undo state information for a digital art program. Changed state data is computed (e.g., via GPU-side logic) based upon the state information of the current state of a canvas and the previous state information, e.g., via an XOR operation or parallel XOR operations. The changed state data is compressed into compressed state data, e.g., via run-length encoding, and the compressed state data is stored, e.g., in a circular buffer in GPU memory. For an undo command, the compressed data is decompressed into the changed state data, and the bitwise operation reversed.

Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to simulating oil painting. Data can be received from a sensor that indicates a desired orientation of an image editing tool with respect to a computer-implemented canvas. The computer-implemented canvas can include a paint map, which includes color values and height values of pixels representative of oil paint deposited on the computer-implemented canvas. Moreover, a footprint of the image editing tool upon the computer-implemented canvas can be computed based upon the data from the sensor. Further, an oil paint ridge model can be generated by modulating height values of a subset of the pixels from the paint map that are outside the footprint and less than or equal to a predetermined distance from an edge of the footprint. A display screen of a computing device can be caused to update an image rendered thereupon based upon the oil paint ridge model.

Abstract: Functionality for storing and modifying multi-resolution texture atlases is provided so that applications can expose methods to enable users to access and browse a collection that includes multiple multi-resolution images. The images are stored as thumbnails in a texture atlas having different levels of detail in which the levels are arranged in an image pyramid that includes multiple tiles that are each stored as separate files. The thumbnails are spatially storable as textures in the texture atlas using a fractal layout (which in one illustrative example is a Morton layout) that enables images to be efficiently packed in the tiles. The fractal layout ensures that no more than one tile stores less than a fully packed texture at each level of detail. The same packing order scales across each level of detail in the texture atlas so that layout information is stored for the individual images in the collection only once.
