    Filters module (M8, CI FF ..)

    by poz » Mon Mar 30, 2009 12:35 pm

    Hi

    i would like to know what means "Ci" in the filters module, and where to find them on the hard disk (they seem to be integrated to M8 ?)
    How can I duplicate some of these modules ? (to be able to save the same filter with differents parameters in the 4 columns of the filters module)

    thanks

    CI means CoreImage. They are integrated into the architecture of Mac OS X.

    As far as I know they are embedded in the OS and there is no way mess around with that.

    I would like to save differents parameters for the same filter (in each of the 4 columns of the filters modules)
    When I use 4 times the same filter (with differents parameters of course), it only saves the first column ..
    When you re-open the document, the 3 lasts columns contains zero values ..

    that's why I thought about duplicating the filter 4 times to use one of each in each column ..

    do you have an issue ?
    thanks much

    I consulted David (or mega programmer man) and I stand corrected on the situation with the CI filters:

    additional CoreImage filters could be installed as Image Units and are then located in :

    /Library/Graphics/Image Units
    or
    ~/Library/Graphics/Image Units

    Current version of Modul8 does not ask CoreImage to load these plugins.

    Standard CoreImage filters are embedded in the QuartzCore.framework ...

    nm -a /System/Library/Frameworks/QuartzCore.framework/QuartzCore | grep -i pointillize

    000d3e48 t -[CIPointillize customAttributes]
    000b60c4 t -[CIPointillize outputImage]
    001667bc t -[CIPointillize regionOf:destRect:userInfo:]
    003c6ee0 S .objc_class_name_CIPointillize
    0032ca3c s _kernel__pointillizeStep
    003bd908 b _kernel_ptr__pointillizeStep

    In regards to the save issue:

    I have tested this several times using v2.5.8 saving the document and have had no problems with the custom values getting reloaded. Althogh I was using the L-Filters Ergo Mouse version of the filters module which I prefer using anyway.

    Give that a shot?

    could you explain the difference?
    I tried it and it seems pretty much the same as the original filters module???

    It is laid out differently. I prefer this layout because the filter list is larger.
