Hi, i programmed a function to radial blur (zoom) pictures in Vb6 (with a force from zero to 100% and a point of blur), it works well (better quality than photoshop) but it's a little slower.
my function is easy and i would like to know how to accelerate the process to get the same quality faster
i need a vb6 or C++ function.
here's my function :
'cx, cy = Center X and Center Y
'k = Force (0 to 100%)
'Quality = Quality : 1 = Best | 2 = Good | 4 = Medium | 16 = Bad
Public Sub RadialBlurZoom(ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal k As Single, ByVal Quality as Long)

Dim dY As Long

Dim TotalR As Long
Dim TotalG As Long
Dim TotalB As Long
Dim Dividor As Long
Dim NewBits() As Byte
'in the form, PicBits is a private array which contains bitmapbits (from GetBitmapBits)

K = K / 400
'shpSelection is a Shape which contains the rectangle area to be processed

dY = Abs(j - cY)

If dX = 0 Then dX = 1
Alpha = Atn(dY / dX)
Hypotenuse = Sqr(dX * dX + dY * dY)
TotalR = 0

TotalB = 0
Dividor = 0
vMax = Hypotenuse * K

If i < cX Then
nX = i + (Cos(Alpha) * l)

nX = i - (Cos(Alpha) * l)
Else
nX = 0
End If
If j < cY Then
nY = j + (Sin(Alpha) * l)
ElseIf j >= cY Then
nY = j - (Sin(Alpha) * l)
Else

End If

End If

Next j
'P is the name of a pictureBox where the picture was loaded
'sets the new bits to P.Image
