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
error message "Could not complete the Digital SHO command because there is
not enough memory (RAM)."
The Digital SHO plug-in requires more memory than the Digital ROC plug-in. 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.
The Digital SHO plug-in appears on the menu, but it is grayed out and I am unable
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.
