Hi experts, some questions about using plugins in PS actions and as smart filter: Is there a way to recognize the filter status, somewhat like "isSmartFilter"...
Ralph, It has always been my feeling that you want to see the control values exposed in the Photoshop Action, for troubleshooting, if nothing else. Regards,...
You can't both store the values of controls in an action and hide them from the action at the same time. You can give them a user-configurable name though. I...
Hi everybody, I've attached a simple filter that I wrote for simulation of some types of dichomatic vision (Protanopia, Deuteranopia, and Tritanopia) based on...
... Hi Neda, In the first section, changing saturation, a and b, can easily produce rgb values out of the range of 0..255. Maybe those out-of-range rgb values...
Hi gang; I am having some difficulty once again with random functions and multithreading. This has come up before and I believe it was Martijn who pointed out...
Don't ever blindy trust in anything I say ;) Have you confirmed it is indeed the rand() function and not something else that is causing the difference? ...
How/when are you seeding the randomizer? I once had similar streaked patterns when I seeded the randomizer every time I entered a loop - the solution was to...
As far as I can see, FM's rand() and srand() functions are already thread-safe. But be aware that each thread performs an implicit call to srand(1) at startup....
You can provide a thread with parameters. Usually you already need to send something like a thread number or coordinate so each thread knows which part of the...
Thanks for the responses, guys. I'm still conducting tests to narrow down if my bug is definitely a threading issue or not. I will give it a few more tries and...
... Yup, seeding it with the thread number/id should also work -- alas, not according to Richard's tests. ... It's done by the MT version of the MSVCRTL dll....
Dieter, There just hasn't been any activity lately. I've been working on new plug-in ideas and code snippets for those, but have not generated question so...
Hi All, Sorry for the silence lately -- I'm still in the process of moving my offices, computers etc., to Sacramento, and progress will be slow until I'm fully...
I need a plugin developed, and since I feel comfortable editing any programming language (in fact, playing out with existing code is the way I learned...
Hi and welcome Sergio, there are a few PDF-documents on the filtermeister website: FilterMeister Book One - Getting Started manual in PDF format FilterMeister...
Hi Sergio, do you mean something like the combinations (with special blend modes) of variations of the target as in my SF Maskerade plugin and other? ...
I think he wants a layering engine like Photoshop inside a plug-in, but based on a single image source. My UnPlugged-X filter has something like this too,...
... Hi, Jazzscriveyn Thanks for your response. By repeat-able I mean, i.e. thinking on ActionScript, when a sprite/image object receives a "difference"...
... No, not even close. Mine is way more simple! Yours use calculations Photoshop doesn't offer by itself. Probably using math is inside existing filters, but...
... Yes!! layering engine!! Well, almost. I actually don't need the layers, but the calculations. What do you need "with some effort???" Is it so difficult?? ...
The "with some effort" is mostly in the user interface department. Most (if not all) of Photoshop's mixing modes are available through FM's blend() function,...
Hi Sergio, Do you insist the tool producing an 8bf filter? The not existing example code you gave looks like a workaround as in the plugin "FilterForge"...
I need THE HIGH-PASS FILTER to be based on median rather than on gaussian blur, as the original math is. If the new filter will work as a smart filter natively...
