The filter (zipped 8bf)
  
Here's my first-ever-released PS-compatible plugin... a Mono Renditionizer. An experiment to see if I could even get things working.

It's very rough around the edges but it basically works... just remember to turn off blown highlight preview (and shadows) before applying the filter.

Basic instructions... move the sliders around

Extended instructions... try to keep the totals (shown in two places) as near to 255 as possible to preserve overall image lightness.

Let me know what you all think! I plan on adding the ability to invert individual components.

edit: accepts 8-bit RGBA only. also should note that this won't work on Macs... sorry!

Here's a couple more...

On their own, not terribly exciting, I suppose. But, for those of us without PS, this plugin may be a real timesaver... even if it's just for creating something to use as a layer and not for the final product.

In the end, it's just me playing around with some new (to me) technology.

Re: My first plugin...

Great shot! Glad the filter worked.

One bug I've noticed is that despite my efforts, it's choking on the alpha channel...

Just FYI... I fixed the alpha channel in this file (v1.1). That means you can use this filter on a layer properly now.

Looks good. Just one thing to keep in mind when using this: If you are going to sharpen with USM, it is best to do it after the conversion.

Re: My first plugin...

While my mission was to "just get something working", I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with this!

I have a bunch more that I've been playing with... not ready for prime time, though. This one is fairly straightforward under the hood so I basically rushed it to the presses.

Once I work out the math, I'd like to add the ability to compress the image... the variables storing each RGB value are good for a lot more than 0-255 (4 bytes, signed: -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647)... so the only place actual image data is being lost is in the last stage when things are rendered. Computing curves should be child's play to me according to my educational history... something about not using those skills for over 10 years has put a wee damper on that!

I bet I'm not the only one who is curious about how you wrote this...are you using the SDK, or something like FilterMeister?

Re: My first plugin...

I used Filtermeister 1.0 B7 ...I'm just learning, though. The real power with this program is with having full access to the entire image while working on each sub-pixel.

Heh... I'm glad folks found it workable. Sometimes, when I work in a vacuum, what seems like a good idea is nothing more than naive crap... objectively speaking.
