Hi all.

Adam Bialek (HitchHiker) has written a VB application front-end which takes as input one or more folders which contain BMP files, and splits each BMP into it's red/green/blue channels, outputting the result into their own Red/Green/Blue folders.

It's basically a nice front-end to take the place of netpbm tools (that I use) and aviraw (that other people use). The command-line challenged need not fear this application.

It's designed to be run in the following workflow:
1) Save your avi as a set of BMP files (using virtualdub or similar)
2) Run ppmcentre on your BMPs (crop, centre, rank)
3) Run RGBSplit to split your BMPs into their separate colour channels
4) Pass each set of BMPs through registax
5) Recombine back into a colour image (using AstraImage, Photoshop, etc)

In the future, it will also be integrated with ppmcentre, so points (2) and (3) in the workflow above can be automated by a single GUI application.

It can work on a single directory, or you can do it in batch by loading multiple directories and then processing them.

It has been tested on Windows XP and Windows 2000 on a few different computers, but before final release, it needs to be tested on some other configurations of hardware/operating system (windows only). There may need to be VB libraries downloaded in various configurations, etc.

If you'd like to be a beta tester and help Adam iron out any last minute bugs (or offer suggestions/feedback for improvements), please raise your hand by way of posting a reply here or a PM.

I've ran and used the application and it works great!
