    Help: FFT Filter

    Hi
    I've been using FFT for quite some time now. I sometimes have erratic results, but more so today. Despite re-installation of FFT, none of my problems were resolved. I'm using it on black and white wedding photos from the 70's, full of honeycomb. Lovely B&W's slightly discoloured through age, but scanned on at Epson 4990 at 300dpi RGB.

    What's happening is......

    When I use a soft black brush on the red channel then go to IFFT, the corrections display as green spots, and if I follow through the IFFT result is highly red with no image at all. I'm confused. Because, sometimes it will work on other images of the same ilk.

    Secondly, and on occasion, when I choose FFT the result is a black screen.

    Could one of you kind people used to this programme advise me what I'm doing wrong here. The only other plug-ins I have are Neat Image, and the totally useless Fluid Mask.

    I've had good results from this free FFT programme in the past, so not much keen to change it for a purchased one. Thanks in anticipation.

    Re: Help: FFT Filter

    Hi Liz.

    How big is your image?

    The largest size accepted by the FFT filter is 2980x2822

    Image Analyser by Meesoft will accept larger images up to at least 4000 x 4000

    Hope this helps.

    Ken.

        Re: Help: FFT Filter

        Images above 2980x2822 will be black.

        Either reduce the size of the image or try Image Analyser

          Thanks for that info. I'll have a look at my file when I return to work to-morrow. Do you think this also explains the green dots on the red channel?

            FFT greyed out
            by Liz
            Hi,
            Big fan of FFT and it happily does the right thing on my work computer. On my home laptop with CS3, FFT is greyed out under filters.

            I copied and pasted both FFT and IFFT into (through the Adobe Path) Filters. Shut down, restart, open Photoshop...it can see it but it's greyed...

            FFT filter
            by jmhinchey
            I used to be able to use the FFT filter on CS3. The last couple of times I tried it, it said "Microsoft had encountered a problem and needed to close".
            I deleted it from the computer and went back to the website and downloaded it again. Now it will run but when I go to the red channel...

            I'm trying the FFT Tutorial and it's all good until I apply the IFFT. I get these crazy blotchy patterns. Can anyone help?

            FFT Filter Grief
            by Liz
            Suddenly my FFT filter has stopped performing. See the attached image. I am in 8 bit, with flattened and duplicated file, which is approximately 6x4. So its not the size that's the issue. I click on the red channel, do the spot "thing" with a soft black blush. As I do so, I can see it...
