Re: Combustion 2008 - colour warper

Hi all,
Thanks for the response,

Ayman, I don’t know how to upload a sample (sorry...),
But I uploaded screenshots.

I tried this with different formats,
And it behaved the same.
I tried 10bit film scan DPX,
16 bit TIFF sequences,
16 PSD,
They all behave the same.

My current workaround is that I just don’t use Colour Warper
to correct gamma/luma,
And when I reopen the workspace, I reset the gamma section of the tool.
I hate that, but I can go on working like that.

I think that AME is professionally obligated to publish a service pack for this release, and fix these problems.

I know that everybody thinks I'm crazy for saying that because, their guessing that combustion will be discontinued,
But that has absolutely nothing to do with whether The product will continue or not,
It has to function properly.

More that ten years in digital media,
have made me get used to bugs, and little quirks,
And instabilities, that are found in many tools of the trade,
And I agree that finding workarounds is many times part of the job.

But in this particular instance it makes me feel really bad,
this is a specific functionality, that I purchased,
It's not some third party goody plugin effect,
But a top end AME color correction tool from inferno and flame!
That’s what I purchased.
And it's dysfunctional.

The atmosphere created by the rumors and guesses of combustion discontinuation, create a notion that asking that bugs will be fixed in the product is irrelevant,
Thats not right, Bugs should be fixed.

If I'm not mistaken, Almost 18 month have passed since it was released.

AME absolutely must fix the Combustion Colour Warper dysfunctionality.


Anyway, thanks for the tips,
at least I know it doesn't happen only on my system...

Sorry for the mood of the post...
