PhotoFiltre

You need at least 64-bit vista with Microsoft Visual C ++ redistributables for Visual Studio 2015

PhotoFiltre 11 is shareware and is limited to a 30-day trial period. At the end of the 30-day trial period, if you want to continue using it you will need to purchase a registration key. If, on the other hand you no longer want to continue using the program you must remove it from your system immediately.

Setup version (includes redistribuables, 30 Mb / january 2023)

The setup proposes to install by default in the [C: \ PhotoFiltre11] folder because the [Program Files] folder is often blocked by Windows 10 & 11 (administrator rights) which prevents the execution of the PFTwain and PhotoBridge modules.

Portable / Zip version (16 Mb / january 2023)

1) Download and unzip the files to a folder of your choice on the PC.

http://www.photofiltre-studio.com/pf11/ ... _en_64.zip

2) Check that you have the redistributables in the list of your installed applications
(in general the 2013 is installed but you need the 2015-2019 in 64-bit)

If not, install via this link:

Launch PhotoFiltre 11 to see if no error message is displayed (dll missing for example).
If everything is ok, when opening an image, you should have the list of all supported formats.
You will notice the native support for raw, hdr, webp, jpeg2000, ...

If your goal is to regularly use 32-bit plugins and 32-bit 8BF, it is better to download the Studio X (32-bit) version.

Plugins and 8bf compatibility

8BF filters in 64-bit

They must be placed in the [8bf_64] folder.
Usually the filename should contain "64" somewhere.
They are accessible with the command [8BF > Filter]

8BF filters in 32-bit

They must be placed in the [8bf] folder.
These plugins are then accessible with the command [Filter > PhotoBridge*] (in PhotoFiltre 11).
(you can configure the folder containing these filters)
==> All 8BF working with PhotoFiltre Studio X, also works with PhotoBridge

Plugins in 64-bit

These are the native plugins for PhotoFiltre 11. They must be placed in the [Plugins_64] folder.
Usually the file name should end with "_64.pfl".
Depending on the type of plugin, they are accessible with the menu Filter, Image, File and Tools.

Plugins in 32-bit

These are the old 32-bit plugins from PhotoFiltre Studio. They must be placed in the [Plugins] folder.
These plugins are then accessible with the command [Filter > PhotoBridge*] (in PhotoFiltre 11).
Import type plugins are not supported, nor plugins that are too "specific".
==> see the [Appendices] section (below) for the list of compatible 32-bit plugins

(*) PhotoBridge
This application is developed in 32-bits to guarantee the compatibility of plugins and 8bf in 32-bit.
It is located in the [Plugins] folder and serves as a bridge between PhotoFiltre 11 and 32-bit libraries.

Extensions

Plugins 64-bit
- Contact sheet
http://www.photofiltre-studio.com/pf11/ ... eet_64.zip
This plugin must be copied into the folder [Plugins_64]. It is a [Tools] plugin.

Shell extension
http://www.photofiltre-studio.com/pf11/ ... Ext_64.zip
This extension must be copied into the folder [Plugins_64]. To activate use the menu [Tools > Extension Shell]
- It is absolutely necessary to launch PhotoFiltre 11 in administrator mode
- Do not use in portable mode (USB, external disk, ...) because it requires a static installation on your PC disk

Digitize images / Twain
PhotoFiltre 11 contains a 32-bit module which allows to perform single scan. For more complex operations (batch scan) you must use an external software.
If you have manufacturer software you can use it directly, otherwise here are 2 free utilities:
- NAPS2 (Not Another PDF Scanner 2): https://www.naps2.com/
- EsayScan (Follow the tutorial proposed by Tom): http://jptom.free.fr/PageTuto/Param_Sca ... oogle.html

History

Version 11.4.2 (january 2023)

- Mode PFSX for managing Text layers (change of dpi and especially missing font)
- PhotoBridge retrieves drawing and background colors to provide them to 8bfs who need them
- Improved sorting in the image explorer module to take into account the suffix index number and the full file name
- the pftwain32.exe and PhotoBridge32.exe modules are compressed in order to have a smaller size

Version 11.4.1 (jun 2022)

- Improvement of the function Fisheye correction
- Bugs fixes

Version 11.4.0 (february 2022)

-Improvements for Windows 11 with the addition of 2 new styles (light and dark)

Version 11.3.0 (october 2021)

- Bug fix in line drawing (thickness 2 and horizontal)
- The double-click in the edit zones selects all
- Modification of the click in the sliders (adjustment bars):
. a single click positions the cursor directly at the location of the click
. the double click on the cursor performs a reset

Version 11.2.0 (may 2021)

- Fixed a bug in the size of image window
- Fixed a translation bug
- Fixed a bug in Copy into (in case of empty zone)
- Bug fixes in image explorer (pfi, wmf and emf formats are accepted)
- Modification of the Paste region (Past in the center if the original region is not visible)

. the export format other than JPEG was wrong
- Possibility to select a link/shortcut (.lnk) for the functions "Acquire with" and "Open layer with"
==> allows to use apps from the store or apps requiring parameters
- Change of default format: PNG instead of JPEG when the extension is not recognized
==> PNG saves losslessly while remaining portable
- The "Set as wallpaper" tool saves the image in the user's Documents folder
==> the Windows folder, too protected, often generates errors
- Integrated 32-bit Twain scan module (pftwain32.exe)
==> does not support batch scanning

Version 11.0.0 (march 2021)

- First 64-bit version developed with the core PhotoFiltre Studio 10
