Hello people just like to know how to merge images effectively using big images at 5 to 6 maybe more in real time. These images are 800x700 jpegs.

right now im just using varitions the:

tint(255,mouseX);

function but it seems to lag or flicker as images merge or fade in fade out. So i need help on the smooth processing of the imagery in realtime.p.s. i am using the mouseX for testing values and final product will be sensors using bx-24 microcontroller also im very new to processing.

Id be gratful for any help and thank you in advance  

float input1 = 0;
float rangea1 = 300;
float rangeb1 = 750;
float maxpercent1 = rangeb1-rangea1;
float finalpercent1 = 0;
float atint = 0;
int numFrame1 = 3;  // The number of frames in the animation
int frame1 = 0;
PImage[] images1 = new PImage[numFrame1];

float input2 = 0;
float rangea2 = 0;
float rangeb2 = 600;
float maxpercent2 = rangeb2-rangea2;
float finalpercent2 = 0;
float btint = 0;
int numFrame2 = 3;  // The number of frames in the animation
int frame2 = 0;
PImage[] images2 = new PImage[numFrame2];

Cheers Flo got It working

i need to do more tinkering with the sketch to move it to its full capaicty

Thanks for that it seems very useful
thank you thank you thank you
