I'm fairly new to Canvas. I've been trying to get the images reversed in this EaselJS Alpha Mask example so that the initial image is clear, and what you paint is blurry; basically, the reverse of the demo.
I've been playing around with it for hours, applying filters to the bitmap var and removing them from the blur var. Everything I do just doesn't work. Seems like it would be an easy fix of just switching things around but that doesn't seem to be the case. Not for me anyway.
Does anybody have an example of this, or know what to do? I could provide code examples of what I did, but it's basically just playing around with stuff like a monkey on a typewriter.
Here's the code on Github
Here's the relevant code from their example.

//text = new createjs.Text("Loading...", "20px Arial", "#FFF");
//text.set({x: stage.canvas.width / 2, y: stage.canvas.height - 40});
//text.textAlign = "center";
}

The pure Javascript way using the Canvas 2D context API.
You will need to create a canvas, load the image, create a mask image, and a blur image. I have blurred the image already as I did not want to write a blur.
The following functions in the object imageTools create the canvas/images, and loads images. Note that the canvas and images are interchangeable. The canvas does not have a src, and an image can not be drawn on appart from that they are the same. I convert all images to canvas and attach the context to them. I also call them images.
/** ImageTools.js begin **/
var imageTools = (function () {
var tools = {
canvas : function (width, height) { // create a blank image (canvas)
var c = document.createElement("canvas");
c.width = width;
c.height = height;
return c;
},
createImage : function (width, height) {
var image = this.canvas(width, height);
image.ctx = image.getContext("2d");
return image;
},
loadImage : function (url, callback) {
var image = new Image();
image.src = url;
image.addEventListener('load', callback);
image.addEventListener('error', callback);
return image;
}
};
return tools;
})();
Then I use imageTools to load the images I need and create a mask, when I have the image size as I am matching the mask resolution to the image resolution
// load the images and create the mask
var imageLoadedCount = 0;
var error = false;
var maskImage;
var flowerImage = imageTools.loadImage("http://www.createjs.com/demos/_assets/art/flowers.jpg", function (event) {
if (event.type === "load") {
imageLoadedCount += 1;
} else {
error = true;
}
});
var flowerImageBlur = imageTools.loadImage("http://i.stack.imgur.com/3S5m8.jpg", function () {
if (event.type === "load") {
maskImage = imageTools.createImage(this.width, this.height);
imageLoadedCount += 1;
} else {
error = true;
}
});
I use requestAnimationFrame to create a 60FPS canvas drawing function that waits for the images to load and then displays the 3 layers onto the canvas
// ctx is the main canvas context.
// drawImageCentered scales the image to fit. See Demo for code.
// draw the unblured image that will appear at the top
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "source-over";
drawImageCentered(ctx, flowerImage, cw, ch);
drawText(ctx, "Click drag to blur the image via mask", 40 + Math.sin(time / 100), cw, ch - 30, "White");
// Mask out the parts when the mask image has pixels
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-out";
drawImageCentered(ctx, maskImage, cw, ch);
// draw the blured image only where the destination has been masked
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-atop";
drawImageCentered(ctx, flowerImageBlur, cw, ch);
It first draws the image that appears if no masked pixels are visible. Then it draw some text for instructions.
Next comes the mask that uses destination-out. This means that for pixels in the mask that have an alpha > 0 remove from the destination that amount of alpha. So if a mask pixel has an alpha of 50 and the destination (canvas) has an alpha of 255 then the result of that pixel after rendering the mask with destination-out will be 255 - 50 = 205. This effectively has put holes on the canvas where ever there are pixels on the mask.
Now we can fill the holes with the blurred image and render it using destination-atop which means only draw pixels from the source (blurred image) where the destination alpha is less that 255
That is the layered masking done, all we need is to draw on the mask. For that we just listen to the mouse events and if the button is down draw a circle on the mask where the mouse is. My example has scaled the images so there is a little extra work there but the basics are as follows,
// draws circle with gradient
function drawCircle(ctx, x, y, r) {
var gr = ctx.createRadialGradient(x, y, 0, x, y, r)
gr.addColorStop(1, "rgba(0,0,0,0)")
gr.addColorStop(0.5, "rgba(0,0,0,0.08)")
gr.addColorStop(0, "rgba(0,0,0,0.1)")
ctx.fillStyle = gr;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(x, y, r, 0, Math.PI * 2);
ctx.fill();
}
// draw a circle on the mask where the mouse is.
drawCircle(maskImage.ctx, mouse.x, mouse.y, 20);
For the demo there is a little more code to make it all work nicely but you can pick out the bits you need.

/** FrameUpdate.js end **/There are a few steps to do this. Most of them you have probably already done:
1) Change the order you add the items to stage. Since you want to reveal the blur instead, add them in the reverse order. This puts the blur on top.
stage.addChild(bitmap, text, blur);
2) Change what is cached or updateCached in the updateCacheImage method:
if (update) {
blur.updateCache(0, 0, image.width, image.height);
} else {
blur.cache(0, 0, image.width, image.height);
}
This is where you probably got tripped up. If you set the filters on the blurImage to just the maskFilter, it will not appear to work. The maskFilter IS working, but will have removed the blur and color filters that were applied. To add the maskFilter, you have to put it in the array with the current filters. This is my approach, which ensures the original 2 filters are intact, and the maskFilter is just added once:
blur.filters.length = 2; // Truncate the array to 2
blur.filters.push(maskFilter); // add the new filter
In my opinion, this effect isn't as obvious - so you might want to increase the opacity of the brush:
drawingCanvas.graphics.setStrokeStyle(40, "round", "round")
.beginStroke("rgba(0,0,0,0.5)"); // From 0.2
I was the author of the original AlphaMaskFilter demo in EaselJS - glad you found it useful and/or interesting!
