PTLens (Photoshop Plugin): Grey images

EX-FTB · Post by **EX-FTB** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 12:06 pm

1 - Sorry for my English , I am French (it’s my first post in English!!!)

I don't know, if y can write in French on this forum.?

I am testing the release 1.9 RC2.

When I use some plug-in for Photoshop it's OK

. (Smartcurve for example).
But, when I use the free plug-in PTlens (6.4), the image is in greyscale.

V 1.90 RC2

Welcome and thank you, EX-FTB for your first post in English! There's many English speaking forum users around, so English posts are much appreciated.

I'll download PTLens and will try to reproduce your problem. Could you please check whether the problem occur with XnView 1.82.4, too?

I've just tried with XnView 1.82.4 and the images are greyscale, only.

PTLens has to be licensed, but I see no hint that there is any other limitaton than the limitation to 10 images without licence. A bug in XnView's Plug-In support?

I have also experienced that some plug-ins wont work, the image becomes grey as posted above.

Good evening,

…I don't know, if y can write in French on this forum.? …

• This is the English section, so you may not, but there is a thread in the French section where you may

Kind regards,

I tried the plugin with xnview and with a couple other progs, xnview is the only one with the greyscale proble, the others are full color.

I've never seen xnview have just greyscale as a plugin bug before. I've seen it give wierd error messages, and I've seen it not even recognize plugins (DCE tools), but never go greyscale.

@EX-FTB
This is known issue. See Pierre's answer here.
There's also a standalone version of PTLens. Unfortunately it's no longer freeware but perhaps you'll find an earlier freeware version somewhere on the web.

Try the free ShiftN instead, tips by Helmut here:
