I have Lucis License and it only works on one computer I have through CS3 in Rosetta.. It does not work on any of my other computers with CS3 through rosetta.
Is this normal?
It only works on my g5 Tower running CS3 in rosetta. The MacBook Pro it won't work... Photoshop crashes everytime!:+{
In any case you should tried Mr. Conrast as it is even better in my mind, cost less and has more options...:+]

snook ~ i tried mr contrast a while ago and didn't like it. Although i based that decision
on approximately one minute of play time.

Maybe i should revisit it. What are you doing with it that you like?
Also, no advice on which one of the mamiyas?

Lucis works on my macbook pro under rosetta. But it's an older macbook pro..?

Do you have a link for Mr. Contrast?

LucisArt was never made to function on the Intel machine so it only functions when PS is run under Rosetta,

Don't have link but it is easy.. Flaming Pear plug-ins..
I to did not like it at first, but if you tweak it right you can have great results..:+}
I hate uploading pictures here as they look way to small...
I just did a montage and used mr. contrast and it came out pretty cool.

I think there is even a trial period.. not sure. I bought mine a long time ago and it still works with CS3 intel no problems..:+]

I don't get the warm-fuzzies from Flaming Pear. Their plug-ins are great, but the developer simply does not respond to emails (and many on various forums have expressed dissatisfaction with post-purchase tech support as well).

I tried for a few years to contact them (even through a third-party) and gave up--that's why you don't see any of their stuff listed on my website.

As for the upcoming Lucis Pro 6, it is designed to run on Intel processors. That's part of a number of modern improvements to the original LucisArt plug-in.

Mr. Contrast Unlike Lucis works already for CS3 and Cost pennies compared to the WAY over priced Lucis Plug-in.
You really think people are going to buy Lucis at that price..
Seriously...?
Not trying to bash it at all, but the price is just ridiculous.

Lucis is Nice but no way is it worth that kind of money.

None of us (including myself) have seen the final new version of Lucis Pro 6 (I do have a demo with two-slider and individual channel capability, though), but I understand it's much more than just a simple update of the old LucisArt plug-in... As soon as I can get my hands on it I'll post more details.

And even when Snook hates me, Snook, cool and pure photos at your portfolio. Keep it up!

I guess we will never see the "old software business model" where your first purcahse was the investment. Then as long as you upgraded every 2nd upgrade, the cost was minimal (maybe 10% of original cost). Todays model is more like a repeated cost of 80 plus of the origianl cost to upgrade. It is becoming like a subscription rather than an investment in productivity. I dislike it.

I have a complete "On One" plug in package ($$$$$$) and they just came up with an upgrade that adds some focus plug ins and they expect you to pay full price for the whole suite to "upgrade", Riiigggghhhhttt! As they say in the used car business, "there is a butt for every seat", or put in the words of P. T. Barnam, "There is a sucker born every day"!

Dear God man. 58 pages attempting to copy someone's worn out look? This is not retouching. Learn how to color correct skin first.

For some of us this is just a fun distraction. Don't you get bored of highend
all the time? You're from NY right? Go take a break and see Bon Iver live or
something. May help to de-stress.
