Core Animation window flip effect - objective-c

Any tutorials or sample code to get the Core Animation window flip effect? I'm using Flipr right now, which uses Core Image to generate the effect but CoreAnimation is much smoother
Thanks

Mike Lee released some code for just this a while back. He called it LemurFlip.

take a look at uli kusterers windowflipper code.

have no experience with it, but it just might work for you :)

I added some code on how I do it using Core animation: Link

How to achieve this image distortion effect in iOS?

I'm building an iphone photo app. I don't know how to achieve this kind of effect on an image:
When the user drags a finger across the arrow, I want the image to be distorted accordingly. How can I achieve this? Is there any framework that makes this process simple?
Thank you.
No clue about iOS, but the look reminds me of a thin-plate spline warp. It's quite easy to implement in OpenGL, a quick Google search for example code returns plenty of hits.
From the sound of it I think your looking for the CoreImage framework. Look into the various distortion effects...in particular CIBumpDistortionLinear.
I don't have any code so check out this tutorial and read up on CoreImage.

Image Processing in iPhone

Actually I am adding Image Processing Feature in my iPhone Application It should do Brightness, Contrast, Sharpen, Exposure....
But i am not able to Find any article/Tutorial on the Internet. Will you please help me to find any tutorial or tell me how can i implement the iPhone View Based Application.
I have found 1 link http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/iphone-sdk-development/10094-adjust-image-brightness-contrast-fly.html its worked also for Brightness but its not working on iPad.
So Suggest something that i can start with my Image Processing Logic.
Thanks

I personally like the approach in the GLImageProcessing project from Apple's sample code. Check it out.
There are a few libraries that support image processing in Quartz. There are even a few categories on UIImage to do some basic stuff.
The following are a few examples:
https://github.com/esilverberg/ios-image-filters
https://github.com/cmkilger/CKImageAdditions
http://code.google.com/p/simple-iphone-image-processing/
But as said before by #Felz those libraries are slow because they use the quartz codebase, which isn't that fast (for example: changing the saturation of an image with a resolution of 1024x1024 might take up to 4 to 8 seconds, depending on which device your using).
If your project is iOS 5 or higher then you should definitely consider using CoreImage
You can try GPUImage framework created by Brad Larson. It includes awesome image filters and also easy to use.

What would be the bet way to create a Front Row style menu?

I'm working on a little program and would like to implement a menu in the style that is used in the Front Row application. I know this is an extremely open ended question but what would be the best way to go about creating such a thing?
I thought I could maybe use a NSTableView but from the looks of it, that seems overly complicated to get the scrolling to work correctly.
I'm wondering if I should just code my own menu view from scratch but wouldn't really know where to begin to start that.
Any thoughts or pointers would be great.
Thanks,
Apple provides sample code that shows how to implement a fullscreen, list-like menu:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/CoreAnimationKioskStyleMenu/Introduction/Intro.html
The code uses no AppKit classes (like NSTableView). The UI is made with Core Animation.
Another good core animation sample to create Front Row like Menus can be found in the following blog post:

how to provide animation to image in iphone look like flower

I am making an application in iPhone , in that I want to give animation to my image like
Growing from beginning to end and also waving in air, it seems to work like flower, growing from root and also waving in air from left to right smoothly.
I don't know how to perform such kind of animation.
If any one do have any idea or sample please let me know.
Thanks and regrards Viral
This would be a pretty complex animation. It can be done, but it will be somewhat tedious. Here is a tutorial by John Blackburn that demonstrates making a jack-in-the-box animation step by step. It would probably be a good starting point for you as you will need to use the same method as John uses.

Cocoa API Image Manipulation

Is there any way to do simple image manipulation like adjusting brightness, contrast, exposure, etc. using Cocoa? Something like NSImage?
You want Core Image, I think.
If you want to present UI to allow the user to make these kinds of modifications, look at ImageKit.
Have you had a look at Core Image?
I'd check out the CoreImage FunHouse example. It pretty much shows you how to use most of what CoreImage can do.
