New Script: Fix White Sky Photo problems
|
|
| Fuzzie Dice 2006-06-27, 9:08 pm |
| I added a new script to my site - Sky Fix:
http://cgi.bytebin.net/main/index.p...=fileinfo&id=63
Or just go to ByteBin.Net - it's in the Paint Shop Pro section in Scripts,
Photo Enhancement.
I kinda whipped this up tonight after going through some older photos I want
to put on my site. It uses a mask and lets you adjust things (preserving
your original as well) after the script is run, so you can change the
gradient (to say, a sunset), or adjust opacity, blend mode, whatever you
wish. I hope you'll find it as handy as I do.

| I downloaded Sky Fix into Restricted Files in PSP 9. When I attempt to try
it on a photo at window opened advising me I needed to operate with it in
Trusted Files. Is there a reason it needs to be in Trusted Files and does
it work in PSP 9?

Unfortunately, the only version of PSP I have installed is 10. I uninstalled
8.10 and stored the CD and docs away. So I'll need folks like you to tell me
if it works or not. :-)
I am not sure why it would want it to be in the Trusted folder. I ran the
script from the "Restricted" folder which was where it was saved. Looking at
the script, it does not write anything to the computer. All it does is use
PSP's different effects:
- Duplicates layer
- Colorize
- Adjust brightness and contrast
- Gaussian blur
- Creates a new layer
- fills the layer with a gradient that everyone should already have (as the
gradient comes installed with PSP)
- Creates a new mask layer
- selects layers
- copies and pastes image from a layers
- Deselects selection
- Deletes a layer
- Adjusts a layer's properties (ie. blend mode and opacity)
The only thing I think it could be is you'd have to open the script in a
text editor and change the line near the top that says:
'Host': u'Paint Shop Pro X',
to:
'Host': u'Paint Shop Pro 9',
Be sure to keep the line indented exactly as it originally was (Python
relies on proper indentation). If you're up to doing this, and testing it
for me, let me know if this works for you so I can change those scripts I
created in PSP X so they'd work in earlier versions. If this doesn't work,
I'm not sure how to make it work (maybe someone here can also examine the
script and offer suggestions)?

Also, as Suz pointed out, change the PSPApp to JascApp in the top
line. These changes will generally allow v.X scripts to run on
v.9 unless a script uses something not available in v.9 or that
has to be accessed in a different way.

No, but the error message also said the problem is in line 1, which
is the line that imports a library. Importing an unknown library is
a danger, which is why you are told to use the trusted folder. You
need to make two changes.
Change the beginning of the script from this:
from PSPApp import *
def ScriptProperties():
return {
'Author': u'Tika Carr',
'Copyright': u'(c) 2006 Tika Carr',
'Description': u'Fixes complex white sky in photos.',
'Host': u'Paint Shop Pro X',
'Host Version': u'10.03'
}
To this:
from JascApp import *
def ScriptProperties():
return {
'Author': u'Tika Carr',
'Copyright': u'(c) 2006 Tika Carr',
'Description': u'Fixes complex white sky in photos.',
'Host': u'Paint Shop Pro X',
'Host Version': u''
}
Note that the changes are in the first and last lines of this
subsection of the script. If you omit the second change the script
will run but will complain about being from a newer version of
PSP.

| Fuzzie Dice 2006-06-27, 9:09 pm |
| SB - What about the 'Host': line? Could I put it as 'Host': u'Paint shop Pro
8', so that even PSP 8 would run it? Since these things are simple things
that haven't changed much? I think I'll update the script but I'd first want
to check and see if changing the "host" is OK too.

| What I usually do when I want my scripts to work for all versions is set the
Host to 'Paint Shop Pro', and leave the Host Version blank, like this:
'Host': u'Paint Shop Pro',
'Host Version': u''
You also need to add these lines at the beginning of the script, as PSP 8
does not recognize True and False:
True = App.Constants.Boolean.true
False = App.Constants.Boolean.false
And of course, change the first line of the script from PSPApp to JascApp,
as noted below. That will pretty much make your scripts "all versions
compatible", unless you are using commands new to one of the later versions,
or text, which requires additional "manipulations" to "look" right in PSP X.

First, thanks for that knowledge! Next, I believe Fuzzie doesn't
have v.8 installed so can't test the script, and so I made the
change to the script you suggested and ran v.8.1, it stopped at
line 108 with the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Documents and Settings\Joe Belland\My Documents\My PSP
Files\Scripts-Restricted\Fuzzie\SkyFix1.PspScript", line 108, in
Do
App.Do( Environment, 'Fill', {
AttributeError: Gradient
I do have PSP8 File locations pointed to the same gradient files
that PSP9 points to (the script works fine in v.9, of course).

Thanks for the info. :-) I'll change the SkyFix script tomorrow and let
everyone know when the new version is online. I do appreciate everyone's
help in this.

What about it indeed? PSP doesn't seem to care about the contents.

You can put in anything you like. If I put:
'Host': u'Vegetable Patch',
'Host Version': u''
}
the script runs just fine in PSP 9 with a bogus host and an empty
version number field.
> Since these things are simple things

You need to pay attention to version numbers when a script uses new
features. Setting the version to blank or to 8.0 isn't going to work
if your script uses the PSP X Toothbrush tool. (Of course if it does
you should be ashamed of yourself, but that's another story :)

Change away. I would leave it because (1) it doesn't seem to matter
what is there and (2) someone looking at the script later will know
what version it was made in even if the version number was changed.

One hopes Fuzzie keeps following the thread to get your answer.
I don't really need it to work in v.8 but Fuzzie had asked about
another issue to make it work in v.8 so might want to know this.
Also, after making that change the script works in both v.8 and
v.9 so with luck will also work in v.X, so a separate script
won't be needed for different versions. The v.8 script is
"upwardly mobile" :-)

You're right, my PSP 8 disc is in my storage downstairs. :-) I uninstalled
it and put PSP X in as I didn't expect I'd need an earlier version.
Check in your gradients folder to see if DuoTone Light Blue is in there
(check that it's the same filename that is in the script). I assumed since
it came with PSP X (and I do remember it was in PSP 8 as well) that most
everyone would have that one. I can't distribute it. However, maybe I could
have it set up a custom gradient using foreground-background colors.
Something else I'll look into tomorrow. Maybe even install PSP 8 for testing
purposes (if they 'play well' together on the same machine, that is. :-) )

Wow! There are some real differences in these scripts, isn't there? I know I
had to alter my Flask and Jug Vase because of this, since it didn't want to
work in PSP X due to differences in the way the displacement map is called.
I do have all the API guides around though. But I think I'll install PSP 8
and test and if it works, I can make PSP 8 and PSP X compatible scripts.

Hmmm... I don't know about the roof thing. I can see where it would pose
problems for some images. Guess it's not for every image. I'm not sure about
hot to correct it. Though you could select the area as you did before, but
then go into the mask area and just flood fill that area with black or white
(whichever masks, I forgot which) on any part that got the blue and
shouldn't. Or even use a paintbrush or airbrush on the mask itself.

I fix skies like this. I duplicate the image layer and introduce
a new layer between the original image and duplicate. Then I
erase the sky from the top layer with the Background Eraser and
fill the new layer with a sky gradient. Finally I lower the
opacity on the filled layer a little to let some of the original
sky show through for a more natural look. The layer palette looks
like this:
Duplicate of original - sky erased with BGE
New layer - filled with gradient and opacity lowered
Original layer - unchanged
I don't use scripts since they can't be made smart enough to meet
the requirements of arbitrary images. As an alternative to filling
with a gradient I may use a sky from a related image, e.g. a
picture of the same scene at a lower exposure or a picture of a
sky that I took. I will often use Auto Color Balance or Black and
White Points on the original and the sky image to make sure the
lighting is consistent across both images so the sky layer looks
like it "belongs" when it is added. The Manual Color Correction
filter also has a collection of sky colors in its Sky category
that can be used to colorize a white layer for instance.

This site has a collection of cloud pictures which you can use as

Yes, see my exchange of posts with Suz. The script worked in 9
and v.8 was pointed to the same gradients. Suz found the problem
and, once I edited to correct it, your script works in 8 and 9
(and likely X).

Here's another link to clouds if you want to do mostly wispy
clouds rather than thunderstorm type clouds. Ulead provides its
Particle Plugin v.1.0 for free which comes with 8 filters, one of
which is Clouds. Not only does it make natural looking wispy
clouds but you can use the same filter to make very wispy fog or
mist effects (like mist rising from water, for example). The
sliders allow you to change density, opacity, etc., and you can
restrict the effect to a selection you previously make on an
image. Might be worth trying (it is free), and you can get it
from the "Freeware" part of their Free Goodies page (about
halfway down the page) here:
http://www.ulead.com/download/freegoodies.htm
So far, it's the best filter I've found for natural looking wispy
(and not so wispy) cloud and mist/fog effects - especially for
the price - or lack thereof!

Yes, depending on what you had visualized, they could be artificial.
Playing with layer blend modes and opacities as well as editing their
color has helped me in the past, as has creating my own from scratch.
Looks like you created just what you needed this time and you should be
proud of yourself.
Please tell me you created them on a new layer and saved a copy of them
as a tube. Odds are, you'll be wanting those again.

It is important to note that there can be potentially disconcerting effects
if the Host Version is changed in a script that writes text, and runs in PSP
X. For more information, see the thread entitled "More on PSP X and Text"
started on June 10th. There are consequences to changing that parameter if
the version running is PSP X. Suz

| Fuzzie,
Thank you so very very much for this script!! Being from Colorado and
having a lot of my digital photos come out with a white sky this is going to
be a life saver. Thank you again.
