Hey. I would love to use this, but there's no OSX support. Why not?
Have anyone tried runnig this plugin with Affinity Photo? It can run some photoshop plugins. I would like to know if it works before buying.
So COOL! Is it possible to make it a non-destructive pass btw?
What do you mean in terms of non destructive pass?
To be able to use it as a "smart filter" inside Photoshop. So it's not permanent.
We need to research this case, coz Photoshop SDK has a lot of limits. I'll try to find some time after university exams to do this.
Awesome! Wish I could help...
I want to thank you SO MUCH for this plugin, was very very much missing in my life <3.
Здравствуйте, Владимир ) Tested your plugin, it works well (I need FXAA), only one thing made purchasing it useless for me. Unable to use in operations in Photoshop in quiet mode with the previously recorded settings. Please complete this. Thank you. Regards.
Короче, будет пакетная обработка в фотошопе - задонатю. )
Спасибо за труды.
Hello,
no window is popoing up, and nothing happens?
- fixed this in version 1.1
Hello! Try to launch it with administration rights as ymt3D wrote in comments. Perhaps, this is due to the fact that we are trying to save the settings in the same folder with Photoshop. We will fix it in nearest update as soon as possible.
solved. I had to start it with administrator privileges.
Dope, keep up the good work!
Fixed in v1.1. Also "Shaders" folder with templates and config moved to Documents folder, because plugin can't take enough rights for working in Program Files folder.
It would be great to reference a folder in the settings itself, because i dont want to stress my OS ssd HD with so many small files. Keep up the good work!
It's too small text files, which saves only when you saving any shader or applying shader to image (last used shader). It's can't make any bad impact to your SSD. Usually SSD vendors make warranty for a 3-5 years for writing 20 GB/day. I can't imagine situation, when you will write 20 MB of shaders / day.
Will we see an update in the near future, to import from shadertoy and isfshaders and others shader plattforms?
Hi, etowner! In future we will try to add support of several layers, i.e. one layer - one texture sampler. It's a bit complicated coz of old C++ Photoshop api. Regarding import from Shadertoy and other platforms - we will try to consider this possibility, but from my point of view it's impossible due to copyright reasons.
Thanks for the info! Keep up the good work!
So there is a large protion with a CC license i see no problems there? Shadertoysender from Zeal has a large libary with shaders too. Shadertoy, glslsandbox and isf.video are great resources to implement shader code.
Hi! We will add an example how to use ShaderToy with our plugin in future updates, but for now you can see the example in video below (shader code in description). Also, you can hold "Enter" key on Compile button for some kind of animation
I installed it, but it doesn't work. Are there any other requirements? I am using the latest Photoshop CC2021.
solved. I had to start it with administrator privileges.
We fixed this in version 1.1. Also "Shaders" folder with templates and config moved to Documents folder, because plugin can't take enough rights for working in Program Files folder.
oh! thanks!!!
I am grateful for your speedy handling
