I'm learning the CoreImage in recent days. It is a very powerful, great framework. And I used the Quartz Composer for the first time relating to the learning it though belated. Definitely I've known the Quartz Composer but I'm rejecting it without even having tried. I was enjoying the Quartz Composer on this occasion, and I just liked it very much.

I learn an additional information, I learned the composition file (.qtz file) can be used by own application. Then a nice idea just popped up in my mind. This functionality can be used for image processing for the AutoViewer plug-in. That way the power user who can operate the Quartz Composer can customize image processing.

I changed the design of the AutoViewer plug-in to this way. But also I have to learn a lot of things about Quartz Composer.

I'm using the Xcode after a long time since having developed the Postcard plug-in in October, 2006. It's been 2 years or more. Therefore I lost my touch about Xcode operation and Objective-C after a long absence. The Xcode was upgraded to version 3.1.2.

I'm using the book which is "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X 1st Edition (by Hillegass Aaron)" for my programming reference. This book was published on 2002.
Of course, I am using this book to bring back a knowledge of Mac OS X programming. So, I have a hard time because operation of the Xcode have changed considerably. However I don't like to buy a lot of programming technique book, because it brings of mistaking to have understood by itself.

Newest version of the Xcode is so modern and cool development environment. It makes the enjoyable to program.
Anyway, I will go ahead with plan bit by bit.
