Image manipulation with Mathematica

I've created this theme after my previous post. I can't run the following code (written by @b开发者_开发技巧elisarius):

a = Image["path/file.png"]
b = Image@ArrayPad[ImageData@a, {{40, 0}, {40}, {0}}, {1, 1, 1}];
f[image_, angleMult_] := ImageForwardTransformation[image, (
    fi = ArcTan[Abs[#[[2]]/(#[[1]] - .5)]];
    fi1 = angleMult fi (#[[1]]^2 + #[[2]]^2)/2;
    {(1/2 - Sin[fi1] #[[2]] - Cos[fi1]/2 + 
       Cos[fi1] #[[1]]), -Sin[fi1]/2 + Sin[fi1] #[[1]] + 
      Cos[fi1] #[[2]]}) &]
t = Table[f[b, x], {x, 0, .2, .02}];
t1 = Reverse@t;
Export["anim.gif", Join[t, t1], "DisplayDurations" -> .15];
Import["anim.gif", "Animation"]

Here is a list of errors:

I'm using Mathematica 8 under Linux.

I think I got it.

The code above is for color images (3 channels) and it seems you are trying to run it over a B&W image (1 channel).

Either use a color image or replace the second line by:

b = Image@ArrayPad[ImageData@a, {{40, 0}, {40}}, 1];

Here is the result for your image using the above replacement as:

a = Binarize[Image["path/file.png"]]
b = Image@ArrayPad[ImageData@a, {{40, 0}, {40}}, 1];
