I’ve just released version 1.5 of the PSCombine program. I’ve put quite a bit of time and effort into it the last few days trying to make it more flexible, and easier to use.
Head over to 4volt.com/projects/PSCombine/ to download the new version.
If you enjoy PSCombine, you can always donate, or just drop me a note.
Here’s a quick rundown on the new features:
Live View
When you are actively generating images you can use the “Live View” tab to view the images that Photoshop writes immediately after they are finished. So you can view your last image while your next one is being generated.
Issue Fixes
Fixed issue when loading a small set of images
Updates to logging system
Blending modes are now listed by name instead of ID
A benchmarking text tells you on average how long each combination takes
Advanced Settings
- Blending Table
Allows you to change the minimum and maximum opacity for each blending mode, you can also disable blending modes you don’t like. Changes to the blending table take effect immediately, so you can tweak your settings while you are generating random images. - The Filters Table
Allows you to individually control which filters are used. There is also a reference table that shows on average how long each filter takes to run, witch may be useful for eliminating filters that take too much time. Changes to this table will also take effect immediately. - Allowed File Types
You may add and remove which types of files Photoshop attempts to combine, these types can be any that Photoshop understands. - Keep PSCombine on top
Keeps the PSCombine program on top of all other programs, this might be useful in conjunction with the “Live View” option. - Check for updates
Automatically checks if there are updates to the program are available on the site, and provides a link to the updated installer
