last version ...s

[Taron]

I just changed the HQ to a more primitive solution, which still causes the same contrast reduction, but should go a lot faster. I'm not sure, if you had tried the very latest or the one from earlier today... (I'm really bad about those sub sub versions...should label them, too)
I could see, if I try boosting the result carefully... with the current version that's a bit more complicated, I'd imagine, but I'll give it a shot!

Thanks for testing right away, that's awesome!

Oooops...download again!

Got it! ... testing ...

HQ seems to mess up "undo"related things?
Suppose for just exporting that doesn't matter.. hmm

[Taron]

WEEEEEeeeeeehhhh ...good call!
Fixed!

I've just hooked up a slight sharpening to the high quality mode to counteract the softness a bit!

Hey, sorry for the delay ... i wanted to install a GPU monitor to give more precised feedback than "loud fan"
... had to update all the things for that

i for now went with the "GPU Shark" tool, did the tests with default settings, highest resolution (4x shift+F2), Fluidity set to 100% and the canvas liquifyed (d).

099s Original - steady 60% GPU

099s "experimental version with High Quality mode" HQ ON - 99% GPU (loud noises!!!)

099s "changed the HQ to a more primitive solution" HQ OFF - 54% GPU (Did you change something to the non-HQ mode?)

099s "changed the HQ to a more primitive solution" HQ ON - steady 81% GPU (me likey )

099s "I've just hooked up a slight sharpening" HQ OFF - 59% GPU (back again? or was test 3 flawed? )

099s "I've just hooked up a slight sharpening" HQ ON - 91% GPU (pretty heavy but also pretty, pretty )

You are on an exciting path there ... anything particular that you would like to be tested?

Anyway, next to each other the first AA really was rather muddy/dull.
The sharpened one is amazing though, congratulations!
The highlights seem to get an extra kick before the blur which, to my eye, hardly alters the image, only makes it nicer
It really is heavy though, if you could get it down to the 81% usage of test 4, id settle for that

"I'm really bad about those sub sub versions...should label them, too"

Yes would be nice , also your explorations seem to introduce some bugs ... maybe split it into a stable version for newcomers nad a WIP for beta testing?

Kinda funny, because all of this is "ALPHA", not even Beta for that matter, but I totally agree, too!
Just uploaded another version, too... ...I'll start after this one, once bugs are confirmed: gone

"Just uploaded another version"
Sweeeeet! ... What happend?

Aww, of cause
... i just ment that right now interested but uninvolved people that come from youtube may catch a version with broken undo or something.
i thought an "Alpha- experimental beta" for us interested to beat in sync with the development
Which really is exciting to folow today, dude ... thank you for keeping us in the loop like that
