Some images seem “noisier” after processing with Digital SHO 
The “noise” in the image processed with the Digital SHO plug-in was in the original image but 
was not visible in the dark areas. When the Digital SHO plug-in revealed the detail in those 
areas, the noise became more visible. Try adjusting the Shadow Brightness slider bar until you 
find a good balance between detail and noise. 
I try to run the Digital SHO plug-in but get the error message "Could not complete 
the Digital SHO command because there is not enough memory (RAM)." 
You do not have enough free memory (RAM) to run Digital SHO because of the size of your 
image. The Digital SHO plug-in performs a very sophisticated analysis of the image that 
requires more memory than simpler plug-ins. Try to increase the RAM or swap space available 
to your host application. You can modify these settings in Photoshop, for example, under Edit-
Preferences-Plug-ins & Scratch Disks, and Edit-Preferences-Memory & Image Cache. You can 
also try reducing the size of your image by reducing its dimensions or resolution prior to running 
the Digital SHO plug-in. 
I can run the Digital ROC plug-in, but when I run the Digital SHO plug-in I get the

to select it. 
The Digital SHO plug-in will be enabled when you open an image that it can process. If you 
open an image and the plug-in is still grayed out, make sure that the image is 8 bits per pixel and 
in RGB mode. Your host application should have a way to change the image from other modes 
to RGB and from other bits to 8 bits
. 
How do I register SHO after I have bought it? 
After you purchased the SHO plug-in, you received a purchase confirmation email. You will 
need the information in that email to complete your registration.  You also should have installed 
the SHO plug-in for use with your image editing application. 
•  Open your host image editing application (e.g., Photoshop). 
•  Open an image file. 
•  If you are using PhotoDeluxe, make sure Advanced Menus is active. 
•  Click on Filter/Effects. 
•  Click on Applied Science Fiction and select the SHO plug-in.
