Ft Pattern Suppressor

[infrared]

Hi guys, just wanted to chime in and say thanks for the great plugin.

I did however run into an issue with installation and thought I'd just share this here in case anyone else runs into the same problem. I had installed this on a Mac for Photoshop 2019 and was having trouble running the action, getting the 'filter not found' error and true to it's word, the filters weren't present in the filter menu despite being properly located in the plugin folder.

I did some troubleshooting and found that the file permissions needed to be set to allow me to read and write. Once I done that all worked perfectly.

Hope this helps someone else…

Btw, v2.5 works without any flaws in Photoshop 2020 (21.0.1 20191106.r.47) on Windows 10 Pro.

Thank you so very, very much for all your awesome work!!

Look at this attempt: https://imgur.com/a/viOE2TL Should be five images: Before, Pattern Suppression, Pattern Suppression + DeNoise, Pattern Suppression + DeNoise + Content Aware Fill, and the are I chose for the filter to leave alone.

Let me know what you think.

Zoomed,
I think that you followed directions but the result is poor.
How was this image created? Did someone merge two shots together? If so, do you have the pre-merged images? I'm concerned that in merging the pattern is no longer consistent.
Can you send me the earliest version of the pre-merged images? The lighting difference between the two halves is too much and needs to be handled before the Pattern Suppression and then the merge. Are there RAW camera files? That would be best.

Thank you for the good feedback. CMYK support would be a bit tricky to implement (would likely need a dedicated action set), and there would be no real benefit (in testing the end results did not improve). If you have scanned a print image it would be scanned as RGB anyway (and you will - or rather should - be doing all the other image editing in this color mode). Converting that RGB data to CMYK can only degrade the image.

The original CMYK separations from when a color image was printed will not cleanly separate back into CMYK channels anyway (it's just not possible), so the theoretical benefit actually disappears as you end up with mixed patterns in the channels anyway.

[Andreas_Boger]

This is a very nice plug-in. Nevertheless, I'd like to suggest the Author to consider a colour version, witch could handle CMYK pictures as well (not only RGB). In per-channel mode this could proof beneficial for removing printing patterns, as the most printing processes are CMYK based. Even if the scan was processed in RGB mode, a CMYK separation should reveal the original CMYK channels.

The command “Filter” is not currently available

When running any of the actions, this error message will occur if it cannot find one or more of the filters. This usually means you did not copy the filters to the correct folders, or you forgot to restart Photoshop after you did. Please verify that the plugins (filters) are in the correct folder for your version of Photoshop (and that you are using a 64-bit version of Photoshop that supports the filters).

If the filters are installed correctly, they should show up under Filter > RONC 2018.

Got it. The libffwx64_3-3.dll was not in the correct folder. I deleted the program and started over again. Now I'm getting this message: "The command filter is not currently available." Please pardon my NEWBIE errors in trying to learn this software. I thank you in advance for taking the time out of your busy schedule to assist me.

Katty: unlock issue was solved long ago. Are you unable to download?

Moonshadow: Could not complete the XXX. command because of a disk error

This misleading error message will show up on Windows if libfftwx64_3-3.dll is missing. This usually means you did not copy the file to the correct folder, or you forgot to restart Photoshop after you did. Note that “Ft2DS” in the above screenshot is the name of the filter it was trying to run at the time, and will be different depending on what action/filter you were running.

Please verify that libfftwx64_3-3.dll is in the correct folder for the correct version of Photoshop

I recently downloaded the FT Pattern Suppressor. I tried the program after downloading performing these tasks per the tutorial video >color 3d>normal suppression>play and on screen appeared this message: could not complete the ft3dh command because of a disc error. What do you recommend as a fix?

[Chain]

Great you got it working!

[Angela Swan]

Chain, yeah I did open Photoshop from the 64-bit folder.
Suddenly, I just thought of, maybe I need to update Adobe manager . I just updated it. Guess what? It worked, RONC 2018 appeared in my filter. Thank you so much for reaching out! And thank both you and Ronc for developing this amazing plugin. I can’t wait to try it out! I am so thankful!!! Angela

[Chain]

Make sure you actually start the 64-bit version of Photoshop and not the 32-bit version. You might be starting the wrong program.

[Angela Swan]

Thanks Chain for your fast response. I did paid special attentions two the two points you mentioned. I selected the Windows-plug-ins and made sure that the files were copied into 64-bit versions of photoshop. Maybe I will delete them all and try again.
