Re:Show HN: I build a tool to add noise texture to your images by jcynix on Sunday March 30, 2025 @06:18PM (#43528254)
Nice one. I normally do jobs like this with ImageMagick but your tool work fine. As your tool runs inside the browser, as you say, the notions of "Upload" and "Download" aren't the best ones, as these suggest actions with other computers. Maybe use "Load" and "Save" ...

And as I experimented, I wanted to get different intensities of an effect to compare, but all generated images where named "noisy-image.png" ... it would be nice to have the amount generated in the names, e.g. "image-dust-30.jpg" or "image-film-45.jpg" to easily store them side by side and remember the variations applied.

Nowadays, perhaps "Open" is a better choice than "Load"

"Open" does feel more intuitive than "Load" nowadays --I’ll consider updating that. And adding effect intensity to filenames is a great idea for easier comparison. Thanks for the feedback!
