thanks for the experimentals man. i check back here everyday to see if there is improvements . it is great already however lol.

Edit: the new experimental actually does look better btw. lol. amazing.

Thanks for your efforts, bacondither. AdaptiveSharpen really looks fantastic post-resize with NNEDI3.

Love this sharpening filter, it works wonders . I'm using the experimental version. For anyone deciding to try it out, check back occasionally to the first post, as there may be a new experimental version.

exactly i check back every day lol

I wonder if after a bit more tweaking whether it is found to be suitable to be added to MPDN as a sharpening option?

You can already use it as a render script image processor and with conditionals, you can exactly define when to use it or not.

[burfadel]

I know, just thought it would be easier for people to set up and be aware of

[aufkrawall]

Yeah, true.
But dunno if this has priority, as SweetFX with Lumasharpen is already bundled with render scripts, but has to be used with image processor though.

New version released! The previously experimental two pass version is now the stable one.

The experimental version section is removed and replaced with a old versions section.

Now i'm off out in the nice weather!

Nice! I notice there is a very slight difference in the formula of the second pass between the 28 July version and the latest. Just thought I'd mention that since people may assume that you meant the 28 July version is the same when you said 'The previously experimental two pass version is now the stable one.'

Thanks, it works wonderfully!

That would be really wonderful!

New version 2015-09-23 released.

Tried optimizing some, it went faster for AMDs old VLIW gpus but slower for newer GCN. So that did not make it to this version.

The bilateral blur from the experimental version did better sometimes and worse other times. But the difference was so minimal and it was slower. So it's not included now.

Thanks for letting us know, interesting to read.

@bacondither, can you double check AdaptiveSharpen with this test image?

Last time I checked, AdaptiveSharpen makes this image brighter. Which is what most sharpeners do, so it's not surprising. But ideally, that should not happen. Maybe you can work on that? E.g. by using linear light in some parts of your algorithm? Or maybe by running a second pass which "repairs" modified brightness?

Thanks!

great work and progress bacon looking great and loving the constant upgrades

Yes, that's still the case with the current version. Would be great if this could be improved.
