How's the new Lab Blender alpha coming? :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18064260 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 05:26:35 EDT Re: [FYI] Updated my first plugin... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18064127 pog : I fixed a new bug introduced with this version... the original plugin didn't touch the alpha channel. This one did, via a silly copy/paste error. I didn't catch it because I only tested things on a background layer.

Attachment deleted at top, fixed plugin here:

said by pog See Profile :

Clicking the button "Show Input Bias Effects" just bypasses all the other processes and lets you see what the Input Bias adjustments are doing to the original data....Basically, the Input Bias alters the image data before it's sent to the Add/Subtract functions.
Got that, though weirdly, when I played with the Input Bias stuff (and liking the results I saw when I checked "Show Input Bias Effects"), when I then went to process the photo with the Apply button, it came out colored with the Input Bias effects. Not b&w! Unchecking "Show" then resulted in a b&w image (properly changed by my Input Bias settings) when I click Apply. Just unexpected.

The pmr files are just presets that can be saved/loaded.
Once I figured out to click "load" ;) I played with these a bit---very nice. As always, thanks.

I also thought it would be cool to adjust the color temp (in a pseudo way) before doing the channel mixing. I already had the math worked out (not that it's hard) in another plugin, so I brought it over to this one. Other adjustments got included too. Clicking the button "Show Input Bias Effects" just bypasses all the other processes and lets you see what the Input Bias adjustments are doing to the original data.

Basically, the Input Bias alters the image data before it's sent to the Add/Subtract functions. Unfortunately, it would have taken at least another 1/2 hour to get the blur routine to use this adjusted data without losing double float precision with Add/Subtract. So blurring still uses the original data.

The pmr files are just presets that can be saved/loaded. These can be deleted, overwritten, ignored, etc without any problems.

Use this one almost as much as the LAB overlayer, which co-exists here with the update, LAB blender (I know the latter was supposed to replace the former, but I'm still getting used to it :)).

Second, can you just post a few of the highlights of what is updated and why? I already see a bunch of .pmr files in there?

I just ran the new one side-by-side with the old one on the same picture, using ONLY the defaults. I do see that the new one has the "input bias" section. But running just without changing anything from defaults, the image using the old one seems to have better sharpness and contrast. Hints on using this?

I always seem to ask the same question :)...I KNOW I'm missing a lot by not having a Help file ;).

(posted 8/19/2005)
A later update was made... see »gopog.net/?p=9 for details.

Anyway, here's the latest version (still Windows only):

Mono Renditionizer v3.6
[att=1]
[att=2]
[att=3]
[att=4]

I'm not sure if there's any improvement... but it IS updated. LOL! :) Presets from the prior version should work the same in this version.

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
