I'm currently porting the code (:=)))<br><br>I have just completed "Restoration" plugin at now. The speed is impressive (more than 3x : around 10x i think).<br><br>I will finalize all source code during this week, including Inpainting and Blowup plugins.
<br><br>I will very appreciate all feedback about this port using current implementation from svn...<br><br>I will post a commit message in this mailing list when the code will be ready to test.<br><br>Gilles Caulier<br>

</span></span><span class="q">Gilles,<br><br>Awesome news. I have sent David a very noisy 400ISO Canon 8Mp image to work with and its NeatImage output. He is currently working on getting similar results which might gives us some more insights to the correct values of the many switches.
<br><br>As for the speed increase, I'm happy to say I
have at least contributed a bit there by suggesting to David he include tiling in the processing in order to minimize HDD swapping due to memory constraints. I sent him a proof of concept in the form of a bash script and he took up on that challenge ending up adding even more memory tweaks which resulted in the current situation.
<br><br>The parameter "-tile" is important to tweak the memory footprint so I assume (and hope) it is a setting in the new restoration plugin? </span></blockquote><div><br>Yes, all settings will be available.<br>
<br>Like we have a specialist in this room, i hope that you can help me to optimize all default settings used with preset option.
<br><br>I will commit in svn the "Restoration" plugin port today...<br><span class="sg"><br>Gilles<br> </span></div><span class="q"><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
