New AutoLevels plugin

[roland65]

Hi,
since the builtin AutoLevel function is quite buggy in ASP 1.0.x, I have implemented mine, called AutoLevels, which does the same and is, hopefully, working as expected. Of course, this is the first version, so there may be room for improvements.
Here is the link for the Linux and Windows version : http://roland65.free.fr/AutoLevels-0.1.afzplug
Have a nice day,
RB

Here is what it downloads as:

AutoLevels-0.1.zip

Renaming to Autolevels-0.1.afzplug

Renaming works great

Uninstall/Reinstall - Got it now

Thanks

Your plugin is not downloading correctly and something is getting lost iin the translation... Renaming does not seem to help...

No need to rename, just make sure your browser does not mess up because it detects this as a ZIP file.
Downloads fine here in FF.

cheers

Works great! Thank you.

Works nice. For me defaults of 0.001 and 0.01 sits nice. Thank you.

Hello,

Yes, IE detects it as zip and will save it as a zip file, while FF behaves the right way.
So, for IE users, just Save as and, in the filebox, replace [i].zip[/i] with afzplug and you're done.

Thanks, Roland, I have implemented it successfully under Windows, after renaming .zip to .azfplug.
Is it possible to display a Histogram with it?

Whne you say ASP 1.0.x is buggy, are you referring to 1.0.0.39 or to 1.0.1.10?
I have only done a very quick comparison of AutoLevels with ASP AutoLevel and skin colour is definitely better.

[kaymann]

Tadjio, if you do the customToolsUI.txt you can place your plugin right under the histogram in the standard tab, or if you have a plugin in a special tab that needs a histogram nearby you can place the "Histogram.ui" in any tab right above any plugin!

Thanks, kaymann. The trouble is I haven't settled my customToolsUI.txt, partly because I haven't yet decided my 'priorities' and workflow in ASP and also because I keep adding new Plugins.

What I have done is taken F-P's suggestion for the Bez plugin and built my own Plugin section. I added Curves.ui to the Info.afpxml for AutoLevels.afplugin and it works very well. I then added Exposure.ui as well as that seemed useful.

If anyone would like more details, please ask

This looks good to me for dull day work.
Is it up or downstream of Bez? - the two would be working together for me.
Is there any chance of storing a default pair of values ( in the plugin data folder )
I have made 'on' and 'off' presets as most of my images would take the same 01 an 0001 setting
but it would be tidy to support a stored default I think ( or just me being lazy?)

You can check this yourself by looking in the AfterShotPro.log file, as plugin order is listed in there. Look for the section that lists the plugins in order from 1 to n, which comes after the plugins have been registered. Note that the Bez "Early" option gives you a choice of where in the processing pipeline it executes - there are two possible spots. IMHO you would want this plugin before Bez.

Bravo! That does a much better job on certain photos! Thank you!

It looks like it is better at preserving the tonal curve than ASP's. On pictures that are blown-out, your plugin really shines, because it seems a little more "contrasty" than ASP's.
