I evidently am not fully understanding how changes when adding stars is then saved as a preset.
#Topaz star effects multiple stars 64 Bit
You need to code it specifically for 64 bit systems.Ĭould you explain your workflow as I cannot get it to work in Win32. So, what works for 32 bit, doesn't necessarely have to work on 64 bit either.
#Topaz star effects multiple stars 32 bit
Ralph, 32 bit and 64 bit use different code. I don't fully understand what the criteria is for add a star(s).Ralph Thanks Toermalijn, I figured as much but I wanted to play around with a system that did work just to see what criteria is required for stars to be added. Tried this several times with the same result.Īny input will be appreciated.Ralph Once again I activate the filter Star Effects and the preset is gone. The changes are saved and I am returned to PS. Pretty obvious process, create the star effect, click save, name the preset, add a comment then click OK and the preset shows up on the preset panel. I have reported it to Topaz but was curious if I am the only one with the problem. I am using their new plugin Star Effects and having a problem. I also did some suggestions on the topaz labs forum. I am hoping others are having the same problem or this user is really screwing up. I attended their Webinar and what I was attempting to do is exactly what and how they did it. Could be user error but it is such a simple task that I don't think even I could screw that up. I have also reported this to Topaz and I should be hearing from them soon. I have tried this several times and 1 out of 10 times it will work, kind of frustrating. It added the star but also added it to the other existing stars which it isn't supposed to do. In my case I selected the "Add Star Brush", selected the star I wanted then clicked on another area of the image. When I start editing an image and I select a preset then click on "Apply" to save those changes without exiting which allows me to continue adding other stars using the "Add" stars brush. Most star rubies are not diffusion-treated to improve the star, but some are fracture-filled.They may have another problem. The treatment is permanent and produces good results. Some natural star sapphires are enhanced by a process that diffuses rutile into the gem to improve the star. It should travel easily across the surface of the cabochon as you move the light back and forth. The star should be centered at the top of the dome, and it should extend across the entire stone. The star should be sharp and clear, and the rays should be straight and evenly spread. Move the light back and forth to see how the star moves across the surface of the stone. The trick is to hold the light about 15 cm (6 inches) above the stone. Gem dealers use a penlight to evaluate star gems. A focused light displays the star best, and all photos you see of these stones will be taken under such lighting. Even very good quality stars show poorly in diffused light. Most natural star gems display a star only in sunlight or in strong indoor light. Since color is also very important in these star gems, cutters try to strike a balance between the star and the body color when selecting their material. More rutile means a more distinct star, but a somewhat muddier color. In fact, there is a trade-off between the distinctness of the star and the saturation of the body color. Star gemstones tend to be opaque or translucent rather than transparent, due to the rutile inclusions. The gem must be cut as a cabochon in order to display a star, and it must have the right proportions neither too flat on the top nor too heavy on the bottom. If inclusions of rutile are densely packed, and aligned in the correct way, then they will reflect light in a multi-rayed pattern, forming a star. The essential element in producing a star gemstone is the mineral rutile. To fully appreciate the marvel of a natural star gemstone, it is worth understanding how stars form in natural gems, and how best to observe the asterism. But this is not the standard by which natural star gems should be judged. Many people have seen synthetic star gemstones with very sharp stars that display perfectly under any kind of light. First-time buyers of these star gems sometimes have unrealistic expectations about how sharp and clear the star should appear.
