Hi! msiexec /i did install Violet-3 but now this: Linux (gentoo): ~/.wine/drive_c/Programme/Violet $ wine Vio* err:module:import_dll Library vcomp.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Programme\\Violet\\VioletToneMapper.exe") not found err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Progra...

@ rerdavies: Did you read through the rest of the thread? Thinks so. What I meant to say is, if you want add, modify, or extend existing noise filters, there's plenty of space for new buttons, UI, &c. Did I miss something? I haven't really done much with sources since posting 1.03. Barring a SVN co...

Is anyone working on adding noise removal to violet? Can't see any reason not to. The current UI won't get any more cluttered because of it. re progress bars on noise removal. I didn't add it because I didn't think they were that slow (unlike the bloom effect, that really is slow). If you think the...

Here it is all properly iconized (with all major flavors and sizes). I had to do a little manual retouching to get 16x16 icons working. I'll incorporate it in a source build next time I post (unless somebody else beats me to it). Kind of agree that the white circle-with-a-letter icon is a good idea,...

Looks good; but... Two asks wrt/ the icon. I need it in a larger size so that I can downsample it to 48x48 icons and 32x32 icons. 96-ish or larger would be good. And, if you can, a little more contrast on the V: it doesn't survive in the dreaded 16x16 icon (I may be able to save it, if you can't inc...

edit: another request :D ->> Would it be possible to export to EXR as well from Violet? If I'm not mistaken, indigo already renders to exr directly. What's the use case? Tonemap in violet, and then go to Photoshop? I'll look into that. Question for Ono: how does Indigo handle EXR now? Via the ILM l...

Exposure effects bright and dark areas evenly. It definitely brings out details in shadows if that's what you need. It's exactly the same as brightness, except that units are those that a photographer would be familiar with.

Please excuse the thrash. There are no substantial changes in functionality between the 0.1.2 and 0.1.3 binaries. The primary purpose of the posting is to post a complete matching set of binaries and sources, including a clean vs2003 build procedure. Installer for Windows 32 Version of Violet 0.1.3-...

Ah. <grin>. It took me a second to catch on. I *changed* units of the controls. They are now in STOPS (powers of 2), instead of in linear values. 1 stop = scale by 2, 2 stops = scale by 4, -1 stop is scale by 1/2, -2 stops is scale by 1/4. A convention that photographers are used to. And (I think), ...

Could somebody who's running Wine give this one a try, please: http://www.ottawajazzcollective.com/downloads/Violet-0.1.3-rd-2k3.zip This is a visual studio 2003 build of Violet 0.1.2-rd. It's single threaded; and it will require vs 7.1 runtime DLLs. Cleaned up sources for visual studio 2003 will fo...

>> Library vcomp.dll And that's the OpenMP support DLL (manifest protected), that's installed as part of the VS 2005 runtime. I'm using OpenMP to provide easy multithreading of the big image-processing operations. A 2005 build with OpenMP disabled might solve that issue. If you guys can sort out wha...

> Linux/wine issues: something to do with a fundamental incompatibility between wine and VS 2005's manifest-protected load procedures for the VS 2005 runtime. The error message indicates (according to Microsoft KB articles), that the .EXE loaded the VC80 runtime DLLs, but loaded a version other than...

>> Won't run in linux under wine... How far do you get? Choices: 1) doesn't make it through the installer. A: needs a 2k3 build. 2) installs but doesn't run. A: may need a single-threaded version, depending on what exactly fails. Let me know what the exact symptoms are, and I'll see what I can do.

:-) Thanks for the great suggestions. (love the pipette white balance, especially). I have to admit, X and Y don't really speak to me wrt/ the whitebalance controls, and I was giving some thought as to how to make it work. And I'll follow up on the bugs. The installer thing is, unfortunately require...
