12/29/2023 0 Comments Affinity Photo instaling![]() GPU selection was found to be unreliable. ![]() Update for Windows version only: reverts to running only on the CPU. These files can now be placed alongside of the plugin file itself (StarXTerminator.8bf). Update for Windows version only: eliminates the need to move the three Microsoft DLL files to Photoshop’s or Affinity Photo’s application directory. Adjusted MacOS and Windows installers for compatibility with Mac App Store and Microsoft Store versions of Affinity Photo.Īll-new AI11 neural network with greatly improved performance on a wider range of images, trained on images including data from the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes. Added processing progress indicator for Affinity Photo. No changes to the plugin.Ĭorrects a bug that could cause failure during license key entry when also running NoiseXTerminator.įixed large-overlap mode in Windows version. Updated the MacOS and Windows installers to add installation for Affinity Photo 2. AI files are now installed as part of this process. Uses PixInsight’s update repository system for installation. Necessary for compatibility with AI version 6. The stars-only image now inherits the FITS parameters and astrometric solution of the original image. Automatic handling of linear and nonlinear images.Īdded batch processing function to save starless and stars images generated from a collection of input images.įixes an issue that prevented the “stars” and “linear” parameters from working correctly in scripts and ImageContainers. Code-signed Windows and MacOS modules for better compatibility with anti-malware software.Īll-new AI11 neural network with greatly improved performance on a wider range of images, trained on images including data from the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes. Updated process icon.Ĭorrects a bug that could cause the user to have to re-enter their permanent license key unnecessarily.Īdjusted Unscreen Stars function to avoid saturated pixels when one or more channels in the original image are clipped. Fixed a Windows-specific issue causing a ghost border around minimized (iconified) process window. Adjusted normalization algorithm to avoid histogram clipping in shadow regions. MacOS-specific updates to enable 32-bit floating point neural network computations (requires MacOS 12 or later). Internal processing is now 64-bit floating point for maximum precision. New tiling algorithm to better handle the edges of images. More intelligent validation/selection of AI definition files.Ĭompatibility updates for PixInsight 1.8.9-2. Ubuntu 18.04 or later, or equivalent (glibc 2.27 or later required). ![]() Modern CPU capable of running neural networks (AVX, SSE instruction set extensions).Apple silicon neural engines and GPUs (e.g., M1, M2) are supported natively.GPU/Neural Engine recommended for fast performance, but not required.Photoshop CS4 or later (64-bit only), or.On Windows and Linux machines, GPU acceleration takes a bit more effort. Performance is particularly fast on recent Apple silicon based Macs (M1, M2, etc.) due to their extremely performant built-in GPU and neural engine hardware. On Macs, GPU acceleration of StarXTerminator is automatic, leveraging the “CoreML” software library provided by Apple. Neural network computations can benefit greatly from GPU acceleration. Request a trial before purchasing to make sure StarXTerminator will work on your machine. Older CPUs, and even some modern stripped-down CPUs in mini-PCs and lightweight laptops lack AVX instructions and are not supported. ![]() StarXTerminator requires a computer with a modern CPU having “AVX” instructions required to run neural networks. The photoshop version also works with Affinity Photo. StarXTerminator is available as a plug-in process module for PixInsight and Photoshop.
