altae Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I might be overkill to open a topic just for this but I sincerely want to thank you guys for bringing back the old Shadows/ Highlights (Live) Filter in Photo Persona with the latest beta (1.7.2.424). In my opinion the old version (1.6) is so much better than the new implementation introduced with 1.7. PaulAffinity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Death Knight Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I like that they decided to go with giving the user options. The new version of the filter I could see have some uses, but it just wasn't a good replacement for what people normally expected out of the filter. Good job on the developers for addressing people's concerns with it. That said, maybe the name of the filter option should be renamed to something other than "1.6"? "Legacy" might be a more fitting name, or "Original". Just feels a bit odd to name it after a numbered update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altae Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 I don't think it's a good idea to call it 1.6 or legacy as it isn't actually outdated. I'd vote for something like simple (new version) and complex (old version). Or standard vs. advanced, or... PaulAffinity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Williams Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 They should put the old one back and rename the new one to "Crappy" HOLLA DIE WALDFEE, Alfred, PaulAffinity and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetervL Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I'm not totally convinced about the 1.6 yet, producing bad halos. Default not showing this problem. Probably some more work needs to be done. Mark Ingram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altae Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 Try a much smaller radius, that's how you control halos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetervL Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 The highlights radius is only on 30 and causing such halos. If I want to get rid of the halos then 0 is the only option, besides bringing the strength down as well. In that case however I much rather prefer the new "Default".

altae Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 Sorry but a highlight radius of 30 is far too much in my opinion. For highlights I usually use a radius of 3 px. What's more I don't see a problem in the fact that you prefer the new implementation. No tool works for everybody in every situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ingram Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Yes, it's not quite as straight forward as "the old one is better than the new one". They both work differently in different scenarios. Try with both versions and see what works best for your image. PetervL, altae, PaulAffinity and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
