You can use a ShaderEffect element. It does not use an FBO for plain Image types.
Image { id: myImage visible: false } ShaderEffect { property variant source: myImage anchors.fill: myImage fragmentShader: " varying highp vec2 qt_TexCoord0; uniform lowp vec4 sampler2D source; void main() { gl_FragColor = texture2D(source, qt_TexCoord0).rrra; } " } In Qt 5.0 and 5.1 this will use the texture directly without any extra copies. In 5.2 the image's texture might be in an atlas and will currently be copied out of the atlas into its own texture which is then used directly. I want to add some performance hints to the ShaderEffect to avoid the copy-out-of-the-atlas (which is needed for compatibility right now), but I'm not sure those will make 5.2. The other alternative is to implement a custom material using the QSG API directly. Then you get the best possible performance. cheers, Gunnar ________________________________________ Fra: interest-bounces+gunnar.sletta=digia....@qt-project.org [interest-bounces+gunnar.sletta=digia....@qt-project.org] på vegne av Ola Røer Thorsen [o...@silentwings.no] Sendt: 22. oktober 2013 15:20 To: interest@qt-project.org Emne: [Interest] use custom fragment shader for Quick2 Image item Hi all, I want to use a custom fragment shader when rendering a Image item. Is it possible to set the shader to use directly somehow? That is, I want to use a custom shader instead of the "passthrough" fragment shader used in the Image element. I have tried using the QtGraphicalEffects (GammaAdjust), but the performance is not good enough on my target platform (Omap 3530). ShaderEffect elements work, but they also seem to render via another render-texture, again with a performance loss.
