How to use applyFilter?

[minx]

I am trying to use `applyFilter` on an Image.

Have tested with various, but for example:

Code: Select all

var x = img.applyFilter("Negative" /*, {
	filerChannels: "r,g,b,a"
}*/);
img.saveToFile(test-filter.jpg);
x.saveToFile('test-x-filter.jpg');
img.saveToFile(test-filter.png');
x.saveToFile('test-x-filter.png');

Have tried to use options, save return, save "original", save as jpg, png, ... etc., but filters does not show on end result.

What am I doing wrong here?

Running as code by:

Code: Select all

actextec -c script_name

Have tested with two versions:

Actiona Executer version 3.9.2, script version 1.1.0

3.10 does not show version by --version on actexec, but actiona say:

Actiona 3.10.1, script 1.1.0

Most of the discussions are in French forum. Perhaps post there for an answer?
I have not found applyFilter in my searching.

Wish I knew French

I use Google translate on the French forum to read but can not ask or answer. I once started to learn, but did not get very long, too many projects

I tested "Negative" and it doesn't work.
Note that 'applyFilter' works for other parameters, for example "Sharpen".

Neither am I bi-lingual. But you have found that Francois (moderator) helps to bridge discussions.
I use Deepl.com to understand discussions and attempt short replies in French.
But embedded Actionscript2 snippets can be understood.

Un peu avancé sur le sujet :

• c'est le numéro du filtre qu'il faut indiquer et non pas son nom, par exemple 12 à place de "Negative"

Code: Select all

var x = img.applyFilter(12, { filterChannels: 'rb' });

• l'option filterChannels fonctionne avec le filtre Negative mais impossible de l'utiliser avec removeChannel, quelque soit la valeur j'ai une erreur

I continue to learn more about this very useful tool. Here is the documentation I found by searching wiki.
