These two plugins encrypt and decrypt your pictures to avoid unauthorized access. For example you can store your pictures in an online storage without the fear of anyone scanning and looking at your pictures. The encryption and decryption is done with the Windows .NET Security library via a powershell plugin and uses a 256bit symmetrical chiffre which keeps even the NSA out.

Install

Unzip the encrypt-decrypt plugin to the folder where you copied cPicture.exe
(Make sure you change the password and the secret phrases in both the encrypt and decrypt script!)

Usage

Select your pictures and click the function plug-ins button in the menu ribbon to select the encrypt script:

The pictures cannot be read anymore and will be shown as such. You would add those pictures to your online store or send it to someone. If you send the pictures to someone, you need to pass on your encrypt.ps1 and decrypt.ps1 script passwords in a secure channel. Since you encrypt before any Internet Transfer, there is no chance anyone looking at them.

To decrypt, select the encrypted pictures and click the function plug-ins button in the menu ribbon to select the decrypt script:

The pictures will be now visible again:

Note: The script plugin in this package does not display the Powershell console for each processed picture. If you like to have a console displayed for each processed picture, use the Script plugin for powershell scripts from the Plugins page.
The only difference in the script plugin is in line #204 plugin.cpp. See the source code of the plugin for more detail.

Write-Host "$size picture(s):" -ForegroundColor White
Write-Host ("-" * 15)
Write-Host

# Print the picture data.
[int]$i = 1
foreach ($picture_data in $picture_data_set) {

    [int]$MP = $picture_data.width * $picture_data.height / 1000000
    "Image '{0}' ({4} of {5}) with {1}x{2} pixel ({3}MP)" -f $picture_data.file, $picture_data.width, $picture_data.height, $MP, $i, $size
    "  name='$($picture_data.name)', dir='$($picture_data.dir)'`n"

HDR enfuse

This plugin uses the enfuse tool to create a HDR picture from at least 2 pictures.

Structure and details

A function plug-ins will be executed in 3 steps. The following example displays a message box for each step.

Step 1

The function start(...) will be called with a list of all selected pictures. In this first sample, all picture names will displayed in the message box:

Step 2

The function process_picture(...) will be called for each selected picture:

Step 3

The funktion end() will be called last:

The return value determines which pictures were modified/deleted or added. cPicture adjusts the display accordingly.

cPicture can supply each picture with additional picture data. This is controlled by the return value of start(...). With this you can easily create external display applications (example above) or simply call a script or an external program. The execution stops if the return value is set to 'false'.
