GIMP :: Chromatic Aberration Plugin Does Not Work (2013)
Jun 21, 2013
I work with GIMP 2.8.4 on Windows XP. In order to remove strong lateral chromatic aberrations I tried the CA plugin version 3x What I saw in the preview looked good, but when I pressed the OK button no result appeared. What is the reason? How to install this plugin on Suse Linux step by step.
I have recently been playing with removing CA from pictures. I have a particular RAW file picture of the inside of a church dome. I have made a number of Develop Module adjustments. There is purple and green fringing along the window frames and the columns by the windows, which I would like to remove.
I can remove most of this fringing by checking the Remove Chromatic Aberration box and then either use the dropper tool or just slide the Amount sliders a bit for both the Purple and the Green fringes. I do see a noticeable difference.
However, I have a problem Exporting the resultant file. Right before I check the Remove CA box, I can Export the RAW file as a JPEG, with, say, 80% quality, and leaving size/dimensions unchanged.
After I check the Remove CA box, however, when I try to Export the file, I get 1 of 2 results. One result, probably more common, is that it appears as if the file is being Exported; however, after a bit of time, I get an error message that says "Not Enough Memory." The second thing which can happen is that it appears as if a file is being Exported, but there is no disc activity, and, after it looks as if the Export completes, there is no file in the folder I specified. If I try Exporting again, leaving everything exactly the same, I get no message at all telling me that the file already exists, confirming that it had not been exported the first time.
I have tried greatly reducing JPEG quality (down to 40% I think), and I still cannot Export. I have tried lowering the dimensions down to 1920 pixels on the long side, and I have tried restricting the file size to about 5000K. Nothing so far has allowed me to Export this file.
Yet, if I go back in the history, right before I checked the Remove CA box, I can Export that file.....although the only way I can do that is to first exit Lightroom and then relaunch it.
My PC is about 4 years old; I have 4 GB of memory. Maybe I need more, but even by trying to greatly reduce the file size, I have these problems.
In the Develop Module under Lens Corrections, the CA option is no longer present. It was there in the previous RC. In the Sync Settings, it is a still a selectable option.
I must state that I am miffed that manual adjustment of C.A. has disappeared in LR4. This would have been easier to understand if some commonly used lenses that are not the latest release had profiles available. For example, I shoot the older version Nikkor Micro D 60mm and 105mm lenses for underwater photography. I built a preset to correct the C.A., which I now assume won't work. The automatic setting does not entirely remove it. Is there any way to deal with this aside from adding an extra step and editing CA in Photoshop (which doesn't do a great job of it, either)?
I am using bridge CS5 (version 4.0.5.11) and working in camera raw. In the lens corrections tab in the manual control I have lost my chromatic Aberration controll, this is to say, it has disappeared. I now see under the manual tab I now see the transform controlls, below that I see lens vignetting. The chromatic aberration conrolls have disappeared, where have they gone and can I get them back and how do I do that?
I've just recently found that new chromatic aberration tools kills settings for old chromatic aberration tools. Lets say I have a PV2010 photo with adjusted sliders for chromatic aberration reduction and selected defringe "all edges".Now I'm importing this photo to LR 4.1. I'm not updating process version!
Photo is automatically updated by Lightroom to new CA controls (note it still PV2010 photo). Well, I must say the the results are superb - they are the same as I was achieving with manual sliders, but now with only one click. But the problem is - Lightroom says that metadata have been changed, and I am writing back changes to XMP.But now XMP contains settings for new CA tools, but settings for old CA tools are LOST.
So if I want to open this image in ACR 6.6, or send it to someone with older LR version I end up with completely resetted CA settings, because ACR 6.6 does not have new CA tools, and settings for old tools are killed by LR 4.1 - they are just removed from XMP. So I am loosing CA removal settings completely when opening image in earlier version of application. And I am NOT updating process version!
I am a commercial photographer and have use Lighroom since it was introduced. I just updated Photoshop to CS6 and found that the Chromatic Aberration corrections I apply to an image in Lightroom 4.2 are NOT following the image when I open the image in CS6 using Command-E to open the image from Lightroom. All other Lightroom corrections have been applied, only the Chromatic Aberration correction is missing. One other piece of information is that I convert all RAW files to DNG when I inport the RAW file into Lightroom. I had none of these issues when I was using Photoshop CS5.
I am having a problem with LR 4.2 in correcting chromatic aberation. When I try to use the "defringe tool" I receive the following error message, "Cannot set the purple or green fringe color. Please sample a representative fringe color agian." However, I can see the sampled pixel in the pallette and read the RGB values.
I use third party plug-ins from two different companies and they all worked during my PSCC trail period, but now PS won't recognize any of them. I've tried re-installing them using the custom install process, but they still don't work.
I have a plugin that should work on both Illustrator CS5 and CS6. CS6 also supports 64-bit illustrator.Can i create a 64-bit configuration for the CS5 SDK and make the plug-in work on Illustrator CS6 64-bit?
I have checked the road map for GIMP and I have seen that the Unified transform tool can be expected in version 3.8. (ugh)
Now what I would like to ask is there any tool or plugin for GIMP that can transform my selections? Or is there any open source image editor that can do it.
I'm not an artist and just for this I have to use Photoshop. For me PS is an overkill for just cutting up an image.
I created a simple "Hello World" plugin by following the instructions in Adobe's guide: Getting Started with Adobe Illustrator CC Development, which is available as a pdf here.
The plugin works in the 32-bit version of Illustrator CS6, but I get an error message while trying to launch the 64-bit version. "Error loading plugins. HelloWorld.aip" How can I fix this error?
I have about 350 images I am trying to turn into an animated GIF so I can stick them in Flash rather than importing 350 images. When I click "Optimize for GIF" it works, but strips the quality way down. I would rather use a PNG, so if there is a plugin, I would love to hear about it OR if you know a way for the animated GIF to be created without losing quality, that would be awesome.
I have been trying to install the Eye Candy plugin but cannot get XPGD 2013 to recognize the plugin.
I ran the Alien Skin plugin and pointed it to the Plugins subdirectory under the Xara program folder. What the heck am I doing wrong?
I have run the install procedure several times but the Plugin never shows up in XPGD. When the install asked for the folder I pointed to the Plugins folder under the Xara Picture Editor folder under the Xara software folder.
It never shows up when I click on the Live Effects drop down list.
I am running Windows 8 and do not have any other programs like Photoshop.
I have installed the auto_rotate.scm plugin. Now I need to automate a few of the procedures I regularly use it for. After I have selected the Path Tool and marked the two endpoints for the path, I use the following procedure (which is the procedure that needs to be automated):
Select: Windows/Dockable Dialogue/Paths Right click in the Paths dialogue box Select: ToolsRotate by PathLanczosOK Close the Paths dialogue box
I use this procedure a lot and I could really use for it to be automated. If possible, I'd like the activation to be as simple as pressing a hotkey.
I downloaded the sketchup import plug-in and used it to import a sketchup model, but the model ended up being a different size, is there a way to fix this?
