Highlight Mode

Highlight example

This mode uses the Resemble.JS (1.2.1) library in its development The following features are included in this mode:

  • Percentage of difference between the images
  • Ability to ignore color in the comparison
  • Ability to make the diff color more discernible
  • Change the diff color
  • View the diff in full screen

Onion Skin

Opacity example

Onion Skin mode is a great way for users to notice changes in the images that might be overlooked when you look at them side by side. By overlaying the new image on top of the old image, the users can change the opacity to see the transition that were made.

The following features are included in this mode:

  • Scale the new image to the same size as the old image
  • Changing the opacity of the top image

Testing

This plugin uses polymer-cli to test.

Inside your image-diff repo, run polymer serve to start a local web server and open localhost:8080/test to view your tests. See here for more info.
