Ft Pattern Suppressor

[Chain]

For me it worked fine when I tested on CS5 (under Windows 10), so not sure what the issue is on your system (but it's clear that it's not seeing/loading the plugin files).

Make sure you are launching the correct version (if you have installed both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Photoshop, it could be that you accidentally are starting the 32-bit version without noticing). Also check that you copied the Windows-plugins (.8bf) and not the Mac-plugins (.plugin).

typo. I mean Photoshop CS5.1

Hi Chain and Ronc,
I have photoshop CS5.1 running on window 10. I regetsered last night, watched your tutorial video then downloaded Pattern Suppressor V2.5zip today.

• Copied dll-file in: C:\Program Files\Adobe\ Photoshop CS5.1 (64 Bit)\
• Copied the six plugin-files into: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS5.1 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Filters\
• Start Photoshop.
• Opened a file with repeated patterns.
• Load actions.

I check the photoshop, Filter/RONC 2018 was not there. When I play the 1st step of the actions, "The command Filter is not currently available" appeared. I clicked continue, the actions run ran thru, but didn't show image of any stars and the two lines. I restarted my computer, checked Program files, all the files were in the right place, but when I open Photoshop, still couldn't see Filter/RONC 2018.
Is it because Pattern suppressor doesn't work on SC5.1 or I did something wrong? What shall I try next? Thanks!

As Ron said; it is for Photoshop only.

It is not compatible with any other image editor. So you can not use it in Paintshop Pro.

I have Paintshop Pro 2019. Where can I copy the dll file?

The Photoshop Action and the Photoshop Ft Plugins are not designed to work with Paintshop. There is no intention to make them work with anything but Adobe PhotoShop in the future.

Hi Chain!
I use an older Mac (late 2013) with CS3. Having trouble loading action. It looks like a necessary file is missing?

Hi Ben.

CS3 is a very old version and it is likely not compatible with the plugins. CS4 is untested, but I know they work in CS5.

Anyway, loading the action should work fine, and happen automatically when you double-click the action file. It's just a single file (.atn). If it does not appear in the actions panel when you doubleclick the atn-file, just load it through the panel menu (top right corner of the actions panel).
To run the actions successfully, you need the filters (plugins) installed. Otherwise the action will fail when it tries to use it (likely saying something like "the command 'filter' is not available").

If the plugins/filters don't appear in CS3 after you put them in the plugins-folder and restart Ps then it would mean they are not compatible. The only solution would be to update to a Ps-version from the last decade – or volunteer to code a CS3-version of the plugins yourself. ;D

Thank you Ron & Chain! it works like magic. Cannot thank you enough. I can confirm this works fine on a Mac using a 64bit version of PS CC 2019 ver 20.0.1

I see there is a bug on the website; it sends you to download *both* v2 and v2.5 (that includes the Mac plugins). Make sure you use the 2.5 one. :=)
Not sure why it is happening, but I will get it fixed.

Edit: It's fixed now.

Hello Ron,

I found the Mac version on the Adobe exchange as the website indicates. TY again for all of your help!!

Ron,

You are absolutely correct. I have the *.8bf files not the plugins. I cannot thank you enough for your help!!

Mike

[Ron Chambers]

I can only download the windows version. Let me bug Chain as the website is his chore.

RONC

[Ron Chambers]

On the Mac that file is contained in each *. plugin file so the update to PS wouldn't effect the programs. You should have six *. Plugin files not *. 8bf files on the Mac. Do you have have *.plugin files or *. 8bf files??

Looks like you got the Windows version . I'll go see how it is setup to get the Mac version and come back to you.

Thank you Ron and I apologize that I forgot to mention that I am using it on a Mac and I don't believe the dll file works on a mac. Is that correct? I saw something in the thread about downloading the Mac version but the website only shows one version to download. Please let me know if that is not correct. and thank you for the response.
