Releases: hertze/Halation
Version 2.0
I've rewritten the model for how halation is created to more closely simulate how real film works. It uses eight layers instead of two, which means it takes slightly longer for the script to run, but I think it's worth it. I've come to the conclusion that simulating global halation is best handled at the editing stage, so I have removed it from my model. This means the recipe syntax contains breaking changes and I've updated all actions to reflect this.
Version 1.5.1
Bug fix! The addition of an alpha channel prevented simple jpeg save, which is fixed with this release.
Version 1.5.0
The script now excludes low contrast areas from the effect, to avoid banding in skies, gradients and such. It now more closely replicates how real film halation work. The actions have been updated.
Version 1.4.0
For this release I've added a lower cap for the auto-threshold feature, so the script doesn't look below a brightness level of 235 and add weird halation to images that are entirely dark. I've also added a red outer rim to brighter areas, for a more realistic effect. This version also changes the effect boost to a flexible curve model. I've updated all actions, removed the generic ones and brought the monochrome ones up to par.
Version 1.3.2
This is a small bug-fix release, that hopefully fixes rare occurrences where the script would silently fail with images without a sky.
Version 1.3.1
The script now attempts to except the sky from any halation, to avoid unfortunate banding.
Version 1.3
Starting with this release, the script will automatically set the threshold based on the brightest part of your image. I've updated the actions to be based on real film, but have thrown in a few more exaggerated ones as well. You now have an option for adding global halation too.
Version 1.2
With this version, you may define the RGB values of the inner and outer halation, including setting them to grayscale values. This is used in actions to adjust the strength of the effect, as well as making monochrome halation for black and white images. Color actions have been updated and I've added a new action set for monochrome.
Version 1.1
This release adds a setting for the amount of green added to the inner halation. More green results in a more yellow inner halation. All actions have been updated.
