Violet 0.3

Post by OnoSendai » Fri Jun 22, 2007 8:32 pm

Hi all,
I've put up an installer for the Violet Tone Mapper v0.3 'official' in the downloads section:

http://www.indigorenderer.com/joomla/in ... &Itemid=62

All credit goes to Robin Davies (rerdavies) for this release, including the fancy installer program :)

Let me know if this installer works for you!

installs and works fine on my Vista Business :D
THX very MUCH :!:

[Edit] suggestion for histogram: i would prefer that the red, green and blue channel histograms are all aligned at bottom and mixed additively. So i can see which one looks over the top (dominating) to get a nice white-point. Btw... what's about a gray- or white-point picker to adjust white-balance???? :roll:

Hi!

Code: Select all

msiexec /i 
did install Violet-3 but now this:

Linux (gentoo):

Code: Select all

~/.wine/drive_c/Programme/Violet $ wine Vio*
err:module:import_dll Library vcomp.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Programme\\Violet\\VioletToneMapper.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Programme\\Violet\\VioletToneMapper.exe" failed, status c0000135
:cry:

Where can I get vcomp.dll ?

Looks like it's related with Visual Studio Runtimes or something alike, sorry have no link.

Thx for Violet, I have a request for it: please allow unclamped values (in general), setting the current max value of the slider to the double of the user specified value, along with the reset button of course. With this disposition, the user can first approximate a value and then use the slider to tweak around.

There is no reason to clamp in Violet values that are not in Indigo, I feel really uncomfortable with that limitation and in some case can't get the desired result. Someone feeling the same ?

I have not used any of these new Violet builds yet but the old one has a clamped tonemapping of 10 (or something around 10) that is usually lower than what I find myself using. This might be outdated by now, but it would be awesome to have the same input values as Indigo supports rather than sliders with much shorter ranges. :)

Thanks to all working with Violet, soon I hope to find time to try a newer build!

@Macrob: hopefully the dll is in that package you may need:

The fact is, I can't confirm it will work, but if I had your issue on Windows I would install that.

Thanks Wedge ;)

vcomp.dll is the DLL that provides multi-threaded execution services for Violet. It's a Microsoft redistributable that's installed using Manifest linkage. Unfortunately, this seems to be a feature that's not supported by Wine. (Hence the disclaimer that the installer can't be used on Wine). The recommended solution is to use the LINUX-compatible build without multithreading.

Which build? Of Violet? Where can I get it? On the donload page I find only one msi.
