II - GENERATORS BETA version 2.0.1.b1 This version is currently in beta stage, all the current filters are practically finished and may not change at all. I will simply add new filters to it. You'll find the final version or latest beta at : - http://www.krust.com/krust.html Other beta versions will be version 2.0.1.b2, 2.0.1.b3 and so on. The final will be called 2.0.1 * PLEASE READ THE LICENSE AGREEMENT (LICENSE.TXT) * TABLE OF CONTENT ---------------- 1 - INTRODUCTION 2 - WHAT'S NEW (since version 1.0) 3 - COMPATIBLE GRAPHIC APPLICATIONS 4 - INFORMATIONS & TIPS 5 - REDISTRIBUTION (can you distribuate or sell these filters ?) 6 - TROUBLESHOOTING 7 - CREDITS & GREETINGS 8 - WHERE CAN I FIND OTHER FREE F.F.

(copyrights) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * 1 - INTRODUCTION * These Photoshop plugins were made while experimenting random algorithms in Adobe's filter factory (freely available on the net and on the photoshop CD). They doesn't serve a particular purpose, since the textures they generate do not create real-life textures, but weird or pattern textures. Only you can tell how you will use them, let your imagination flow ... I hope you'll like them and that they can be useful in your graphic experimentations or artworks ! Feel free to send any comments (krust@axes.com) Volume I & III of Krusty's FX 2.0 may come soon, isn't it strange ? :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * 2 - WHAT'S NEW * This is the new version of Krusty's FX vol. II 1.0. Many new changes have been made since the first version (Released 2 years ago). There's a totally new 3D user interface (with 256 graphics). I took about half of the version 1.0 plugins,corrected few bugs and included it in this version. The bugs corrected were : - The preview windows didn't match the final result - They were too slow - The filters are now 2 to 3 times faster. - Unwanted bright colors & white were removed from some filters - Some minor changes Every other filters are completely new filters. Done from scratch or are old filters transformed or mixed together. Since version 2.0 & 1.0 do not produce the same result and that some 1.0 filters are not available in version 2.0, Version 1.0 will still be available as version 1.1 (with a new GUI - but no other changes) on KRUST's web site (http://www.krust.com/krust.html) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * 3 - COMPATIBLE GRAPHIC APPLICATIONS * Krusty's FX only works in RGB mode & support transparency The plugin as been tested in Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0, I'm not sure if they work in windows 3.1. This Photoshop Plugin should work in the following applications : - Adobe Photoshop 3.x & newer - Factral Design Painter 3.x & newer - Paint Shop Pro (I didn't have the time to test supported version) - COREL Photopaint (I didn't have the time to test supported version) - About any Photoshop 3.0 Plugin compatible applications If you're using an application that doesn't support the filters, please send a notice at krustyfx@krust.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * 4 - INFORMATIONS & TIPS * There's not much tips or instructions to give about Krusty's FX. I guess the only suggestion I could give you is experiment & have fun. But just in case here some few things you should know : Sometimes a blur or blur more after you applied the effect can enhance the texture you just generated. Only one word about the Red/Green/Blue & Brightness Sliders. You will notice that some filters have something like "C2 Red %" or even "C2 Brightness" sliders. This means that these sliders can produce two colors. Ordinary Red % slider 0% 100% |-------<>-------------| A C2 Red % slider slider center 100% 0% 100% |----------|---<>------| This setting will only produce one 2 colors 1 color Color (sliding to the right will accentuate the red level of the texture) slider center 100% 0% 100% |---<>-----|-----------| This setting will produce a two color 2 colors 1 color texture. (colorB) (colorA) (sliding to the left will accentuate the level of colorB, to the right the level of colorA) C2 Brightness sliders colorB << >> colorA |--------------<>------| In 1 color mode the brightness will act as an ordinary brightness slider, but in 2 colors mode it will accentuate one of the 2 colors. And the " Offset" sliders (found in the N-x Generators) may be a bit confusing too. means that it's a two modes sliders, if you slide to left you will move the texture horizontally, to the right : vertically. ex: Offet slider center << >> << >> |---<>-----|-----------| Will move the texture horizontally move horizontal | vertical --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * 5 - REDISTRIBUTION * These plugins are Freewares and cannot be sold for any reasons !! The only legal source of distribution is KRUST's web site (www.krust.com). You cannot redistribute these filter without asking a special version first, send email to krustyfx@krust.com. Read the License.txt file for more information. FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE READ THE LICENSE AGREEMENT (LICENSE.TXT) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * 6 - TROUBLESHOOTING * - I see the plugins but they are disabled !! what can I do ? * Are you in RGB color mode ? Krusty's FX only not work in RGB and will not work in grayscale,CMYK,LAB,Indexed,Etc.. - The plugins doesn't work at all ! * Are you using Windows 95/98 or NT ? I'm not sure these plugins work in Windows 3.1. * Make sure that you have installed the plugins in your Photoshop plugin directory and that your host application is correctly configured to locate this directory (read you manual). * If you get an error message when starting the host application, make sure that you have the file MSVCRT10.DLL in your WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory. If you don't reinstall the plugins or get the MSVCRT10.DLL file on MICROSOFT's WEB or FTP site (www.microsoft.com) and put it in you SYSTEM directory. - The plugin dialogs are a way too big !!! * Krusty's FX use a font called IMPACT.TTF, if it's not correctly installed in your FONT directory the dialog box will use another font and could be too big. To install the font reinstall the filters (and click yes when you see a dialog box called Impact font) or try to execute the file Impact32.exe which should be found where you've installed the plugins. If you need more help, information or want to report a bug, write to krustyfx@krust.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * 7 - CREDITS & GREETINGS * These plugins were made with Adobe's filter factory, Freely available at : - the new version : ftp://ftp.i-us.com/pluginhead/ffactory.zip - the old version : ftp://ftp.i-us.com/pluginhead/oldffactory.zip Thanks to Werner D.
