ASP-3 and Linux

I've problems installing ASP3 to fresh Ubuntu 16.10 system:

Code: Select all

~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i AfterShotPro3.deb

Looks like ASP3 wants older versions of libraries than what's included in Ubuntu 16.10. However I couldn't figure out if I can install those older versions. Any ideas?

Same problem here

I installed the old version by hand. First I googled for each file the package they were in, downloaded it and then installed with dpkg -i command.

Rather than installing by hand, you can add the repository from Ubuntu 16.04 ("Xenial"):

Code: Select all

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main universe" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/aftershot-dependencies.list'

Then install the dependencies:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libpng12-0 libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 libgstreamer0.10-0

Thanks for the hint. ASP works great on Ubuntu Gnome 16.10, except the small font issue.

Fedora 23 on a macbook pro with no issues so far. Any plans for Hi-DPI support? Everything is so tiny. Also, open CL isn't seeing my nvidia card. Any way to fix that?

The underlying framework QT supports setting pixel per ratio to make aftershot a little more usable on hidpi screens.

Start aftershot with and many elements will appear bigger.
export QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO=2;AfterShot3X64

Menu fonts are still small though.

THANK YOU for that tip. I'd tried a bunch of other QT_ blah environment variables, but this is the first I'd seen that one and it worked for me to scale up to a sane size (elements, fonts, menus, etc, everything looks fine!) on my 4k monitor now.

Came back, decided to give the trial/demo version of ASP3 a chance, but it doesn't even install.



Back to RawTherapee I guess.
