FF editions for Bump and Normal Maps

Hi

Can I just double check which edition I need in order to generate bump and normal maps using existing filters from the library.
I can do this in the demo version but in the "Compare Editions" table it looks like only the professional Edition allows this.
I don't want to create my own filters I just want to use the existing ones to generate bump maps
I simply can't afford the professional edition
thanks

Hi
There is a bit more to bump and normal maps than making a grey scale of the image, it might work with some images but certainly not all

All i am basically asking is does anyone else have the starter, basic or standard editions of filter forge?

If so while using a filter from the filter library can they select the "Filter" - "RenderMaps" - "Bump maps" option from the menu?

Does this create a savable bump map?

Thanks

I contacted filter forge directly and I got the following reply

"Hi whowell,

The Compare Editions chart puts it right -- bump, normal and other maps can only be rendered with Filter Forge Professional.

The demo version is, in fact, the Professional edition, only with the time limit -- its task is to show the users all the Filter Forge features, which is why it can generate maps.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Best regards,

So it looks like I have to get the Professional edition if I want to use bump and normal maps
