Krita VFX 0.2.2

This is a small patch of a release that fixes a mistake with the clamping function in the C library. If you noticed weird banding when "power" was set to > 1, this fixes that issue.

For major recent changes, see the previous releases.

Krita VFX v0.2.1

Sorry for the bit of a hiccup in release, this fixes an issue where I left some test code in that would potentially break when opening the setting window. I'll copy and paste other changes from the last release below:

It's been a bit, but I've finally gotten around to working on some long overdue features. This release includes the following changes and improvements:

• Added support for more color models and color depths
  • This release supports all color models in Krita currently (RGB/Alpha, CMYK/Alpha, XYZ/Alpha, Lab*/Alpha, Grayscale/Alpha, and even YCbCr/Alpha)
    • Please note that some of the effects may not have the intended effect on color spaces other than RGBA
  • This release also supports 8-bit int, 16-bit int, and 32-bit float color depths
    • Also note that 32-bit float color depth may not work as intended
• Added new Help button to each window with a detailed description of what parameters do what
• Added new effect - Render Lens Dirt
  • This effect renders many shapes to a new layer
  • The size, opacity, direction, and variance of the shapes can be adjusted
• Added new Settings window for universal settings, like the CPU Worker Thread Count
• Improved performance, thanks to using compiler flags and being smarter about the default CPU usage

Thank You all for continuing to watch this project, and opening issues with any trouble you face. This project is a wonderful waste of free time for me and I really appreciate knowing that people use this! That said, please continue to suggest changes or point out any issues you find, I'm sure there's many with the new color spaces support added.

Krita VFX v0.1.1

Heya to anyone who reads these notes! This is a small patch that addresses some issues that likely should have been fixed sooner:

• Fixed filters not applying if the target layer is inside a group
• Fixed crash when loading settings when opening a widget
• Small update to the readme to add '5', yes, this works with Krita 5!

Grab the release below, and overwrite or delete any existing files

Krita VFX v0.1.0

This is the first real release of the VFX plugin! There's plenty of changes to come (see the readme), but I hope you enjoy the features included already!

• Chromatic Aberration - simulates color distortion from lenses
• Bloom - recreates an effect to fake HDR exposure used in video games
• Pseudo Lens Flare - a fake lens flare effect simulating overexposure in a camera
• Anamorphic Lens Flare - fakes a different kind of cinematic lens flare seen as streaks across the screen

EDIT (12/4/2021): Moved libraries to the correct location in pre-made .zip file

To install, simply unpack the attached Krita-VFX-v0.1.0.zip inside of your Krita Resource/pykrita directory and enable the VFX plugin. If you have 32 bit Krita installed, or are using a system other than Windows, Mac, or Ubuntu, you may need to compile the C libraries yourself, see readme
