GeneticFX Studio allows you to evolve graphical images and image processing effects.

Explore a strange and diverse virtual genetic space. Starting from a few randomly generated images, you control the direction of evolution of the images. Similar to exploring a fractal space, except the results are not limited to a specific mathematical fractal model, because it is that underlying mathematical model that is being evolved.

Explore images which have a digital feel, fractal like images, or images which appear much more organic. There are no restrictions as the program that produces the images itself evolves to new forms.

Obviously you can save images you discover, you can also save the genetic information that produced the image as a small text file which you can email to friends and can build up libraries of genetic information which can be evolved by others or interbred with other genetic images.

But there is more. The genetic information you evolve can be applied to any graphics file. You could for example, evolve a complex organic image and then explore the effects that that image's genetics have when applied to a photograph of your pet dog. For an example of this, see the Image Processing Introduction.

In this way you can evolve image processing effects, similar to the Effects or Filters in many graphics packages, except now, there are a limitless number of effects to explore and you are the one creating them.

GeneticFX Studio can also be used as a more serious tool, either for image processing effect development or as a tool to explore genetic algorithms.
