rp_art_spot Rolf Posts: 9	Hi, after trying all what I found about that (without any positiv result for me... ) I ask here again - maybe someone has found an other or better way : Has somebody got FF to work as a plugin in PhotoImpact without the breaking-message: <class XFW::ArgumentError> UInvalid image dimensions (0;0). If so, with which version and which tricks? It happens when I try to fill the whole picture as well as if I want to work on a part of the picture... Thank You Rolf PS: There is a way to "work around" the problem a little bit... - look at the next posting, if there is any interest.. "The way is the destination..."

rp_art_spot Rolf Posts: 9	Hi again, because I want to use FF in PhotoImpact as a plugin for choosen parts of the picture I tried the following (needs a lot of ram, I am afraid...??? - and works precise only using FF-textures without transparent parts, I think for the moment...): 1. I First make my mask, object or so in PhI... - because it is not shown as mask in the next step I recolore it in a special colour before calling DeepPaint if I dont use a transparent FF-filter) 2. I call as plugin/effect in PhI the before installed plugin/program "DeepPaint" (2D-version is free now in the web - I found it "googeling" for free graphic-soft...) - a great program !!! - as "standalone" and as plugin... - and it itself uses FilterForge as plugin... 3. In DeepPaint I make a (rough) mask over the region my PhI-mask/object is - for transparent FF-filters I must guess - or I have the pre-coloured area... - or I fill the picture... - as I want it... 4. In DeepPaint I call the plugin "FilterForge" - the usual part... 5. Then I transfer back to PhI... - only the object/mask/choosen area will be changed! My first trys seem to work... - maybe for other programs that don`t want to use FilterForge it works, too... - I will try in the next days... Rolf PS: If You don't need it in PhI: only "DeepPaint" is worth a try !!! "The way is the destination..."

It's done now - in the next version of Filter Forge, Ulead PhotoImpact 11 and 12 will be added as officially supported hosts. If you would like us to add earlier versions of PhotoImpact too, please tell us where we can find the distributives because all we could find were versions 11 and 12.
