Frame_Lab

Introduction:

This program allows screen snapshots, recording, along with various filters through the use of OpenCV.

Please note that this project was used as a lab for me to test out various possibilities of OpenCV.
Therefore, it has the minimum amount of UI integration and may have minor bugs that were not fully addressed.
