/*File TemperatureTint01 Copyright 2009 R.G.Baldwin
Need to update all comments. However, the code has been
tested and confirmed to work.


The purpose of the program is to show you how to perform
HSB color editing on your digital photos.

The program allows the user to specify an image file to be
edited. The user is then presented with a display of the
image being edited and a GUI containing three sliders, a
Write button, and a text field for entry of the file name.

The sliders are labeled Hue, Sat, and Bright. The labels
are abbreviations for Hue, Saturation, and Brightness,
which are the words behind the nomenclature for the HSB
color model.

The user can change any combination of hue, saturation,
and brightness of the image by adjusting the sliders.

At any point, the user can click a Write button on the GUI
and write the processed image in its current state into a
backup file. (Note that only the most recent five backup
files are saved.) When the user terminates the program,
the final processed image is written into a final output
file.

The template program requires access to Ericson's
multimedia library.

Input files of type jpg, bmp, png are supported. The input
image file is not modified.

If the input file is in the same directory as the program
files, only the name and extension must be entered into
the text field. Otherwise, a complete path and file name
with extension must be entered.

Note, that this  program was designed to teach
programming and image processing concepts. It was not
designed to compete on a speed or convenience basis with
commercially-available photograph processing programs such
as Adobe's Photoshop Elements.

The GUI initially appears in the upper-left corner of the
screen. At this point, the sliders and the buttons are all
disabled. When the user enters the name of the input file,
a display of the image contained in that file appears in
the upper-left corner of the screen and the GUI is
relocated to a position immediately below the display.

When the GUI is relocated to the position immediately
below the display, the sliders and the buttons are all
enabled. and the text field is disabled. The width of the
GUI is changed to match the width of the display if
possible.

Clicking the large X in the upper-right corner of the
display does not terminate the program. It simply hides
the display, which is of no practical use.

The program is terminated by clicking the large X in the
upper-right corner of the GUI. Before terminating, the
program writes an output file containing the final state
of the display in the same format as the input file. The
name of the output file is the same as the name of the
input file except that the word FINAL is inserted
immediately ahead of the extension. The final output file
(and all of the backup files) are written into the same
directory from which the image file was originally read.

Tested using Windows Vista Home Premium Edition,
Java 1.6x, and the version of Ericson's multimedia library
contained in bookClasses10-1-07.zip.

  /*
  This method makes it possible for the user to perform
  HSB color editing, adjust the color temperature, and
  adjust the green tint on a digital photo. The method is
  called each time any one of the the five sliders fires
  a ChangeEvent. Events are fired when the user moves the
  sliders.

  Immediately before this method is called, a new
  display is created, which is a copy of the original
  picture. This method operates only on the display. It
  does not modify the original picture.

  Each time this method is called, it gets the value of
  each slider and uses that value to modify the
  corresponding hue, saturation, and brightness property
  for every pixel in the image currently residing in the
  display. Then it uses the RGB color model to adjust the
  color temperature and the green tint.

  Basically, for each pixel, the method does the
  following:
  1. Gets the red, green, and blue values from the native
  RGB color model data for the pixel.
  2. Converts the RGB values into HSB values.
  3. Modifies the HSB values independently of one another
  using the current slider values.
  4. Converts the modified HSB values back to RGB values.
  5. Uses the RGB values to adjust the color temperature.
  6. Uses the RGB values to adjust the green tint.
  7. Uses the RGB values to set the modified color into
  the pixel.

  The method is synchronized to eliminate the possiblilty
  that it may be called on two threads concurrently.
