The Custom filter actually allows you to write your own convolution matrix, that's pretty cool! So all those filters like Blur, Sharpen etc. were done with specific values in such a matrix, but nowadays you don't even need to know how they work internally.

[@J4j4yd3r]

[@SgtHappyHands]

Glad to see someone else thought that was cool too. I was surprised to see something that 'technical' in photoshop, regardless of version. For those looking to go deeper into the topic, I think this 8 minute video from Computerphile does a good job of that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZDdd5uNmbJnn8U It may help you understand what that Custom Filter tool is actually doing.

[@jameshughes6078]

Does modern photoshop still support custom convolution matrices?

[@JDEScorpion451]

That "custom" filter is actually really powerful once you figure it out- it's essentially a really, really basic version of the code behind a ton of modern filters, and can do everything from smoothing to edge finding (but it only works at a really low resolution) Each box is a pixel around the "target" pixel, -1 means "increase contrast vs this one", 1 means "blend with this pixel", values between or outside that let you do more exotic weighted contrasts and blends.

[@joseville]

mathematically, it has to do with convolution, I believe. A convolution is an operation that can be applied to a matrix (image). The filter that can be customized is called the kernel whose values can be adjusted to achieve different effects in the convolved image.

[@Adroit1911]

I'm happy I read these comments. My curiosity is definitely spiking! 🤔

[@ProblemFactory]

Yes, as a computer vision researcher, I can confirm that. In theory by combination of convolution operations, you can achieve ANY image effect you want (well, except those are not achievable by normal kernels like the median filter). I'm surprised and also kind expecting that this is customizable in Photoshop.

[@spacejunk2186]

This option essentially lets you edit the convolution matrix that is applied over each image pixel when you select a filter. The one we saw in the video with the four -1s around the 5 in the middle was the kernel for the sharpen filter (or edge detection, Im not sure). Square blur would be a normalised matrix with equal entries everywhere. I am honestly a bit surprised that the guy who works with photoshop every day seemingly did not know this.

For anyone wondering what custom does at 7:56, my guess is that it is a custom convolution matrix. An image is basically a 2D matrix and we basically have standard convolution matrices which we convolve with the image for different effects like Gaussian blur. By setting a custom convolution matrix, you can convolve basically anything. Yep, there's lots and lots of math behind these apps.

[@arothmanmusic]

Having read that, I’m still wondering. 😂

[@ben_1]

@@arothmanmusic Here's the best ELI5-ish I could do quickly: the convolution matrix is a grid of numbers, and what a filter basically does is go over the entire image and calculate new color values for the pixels using the values of the convoltion matrix and the values of the pixels around it. Here it would only use the four immediate neighbors, but usually it's more. So it puts the center cell of this grid (in this case with the value 5) over the first pixel, then maths happen, then it goes on to the next pixel and does the same thing again. Rinse and repeat for the entire image and you have your filter.

The only likeness is really pretty much only the kernel, since that is how blurring is done too) Does make me wonder if that windows could be used to make custom effects advanced enough to run all 8 kirsch kernels though, and getting the max like you want.

A lot of people use PC's also but most have no idea about the command prompts that used to start up old computers and why they would need to be there to begin with. I don't think it's that surprising. They never had to use them so.

07:35 *"Custom" is for manually defining a matrix (aka "kernel" or "mask") for 2D convolution.* It's a very basic but extremely powerful algorithm. Most of the factory filters (blur, sharpen, find edges, ...) are most likely using the same algorithm behind the scenes, just by plugging different values into that matrix. It works like this: Each pixel in the image is "convolved" separately with the kernel. You take the neighborhood around it, as big as the kernel (here: 5×5 pixels). Then, you multiply the brightness value of each pixel in that area by the corresponding value in the kernel, and finally all those get added together to get the new value for one pixel in the resulting image. Then, the kernel "slides" to the next pixel, and the procedure is repeated. (Usually the resulting value has to be "normalized" by dividing it by the sum of values in the kernel, to keep the overall brightness the same and fit into the 0.0-1.0 (or 0-255) value range again.) *Examples:* 1 in the center surrounded by 0s does not change the image. All 0s except a 1 just above the center shifts the image up by 1 pixel. All 1s gives you a box blur. If you decrease the values around the center with a roughly circular falloff it looks nicer, e.g. for Gaussian blur (3×3): 1 2 1 2 4 2 1 2 1 The "Sharpen" kernel uses negative values and looks like this: 0 -1 0 -1 5 -1 0 -1 0 And a simple vertical edge detector (the "Prewitt operator") that lights up when brightness changes from left to right: 1 0 -1 1 0 -1 1 0 -1 The blog Programathically has a good explanation with images, which makes the idea probably much easier to understand.

While a camera from 1991 would require them scanning the film to digital for editing (the best I could find for the first digital cinema camera was the Panasonic DVX100 in 2002, but digital cinema cameras had been used in the professional sphere since the late 90's), most of what's done in modern action movies is a product of editing. You'd be working off a more limited base (no digital cameras saving all the raw data rather than an unchangeable video file), but the editing tech is really where the differences would present themselves. Some directors still shoot on film now, it's not improbable. Using editing software from 30 years ago would be a different story...

[@eefneleman9564]

@@drpibisback7680 I think editing was originally going through miles of film, cutting and splicing where needed. That would make it a little bit more difficult. And time consuming.

[@jairm.jr.9991]

I'm not sure how far back you can stretch this idea. They talk a lot on vfx react. Artists would have had the same tools, or comparable tools as of today, but it took a looong time to process anything, or animate anything, or rotoscope anything. To be fair, it would be like they would work a month to have the same result as a speed challenge of 15 min on modern machines with modern software.

[@Thesupremeone34]

considering the fact that they still shoot movies on film today because film still has better resolution than even 4k. yea it would be a relatively simple deal to shoot on a 30 year old camera. in fact i'm fairly certain they do since the cameras are so expensive but so robust

at 8:15 the the filter box with all the positive and negative numbers is called a CONVOLUTION FILTER KERNEL which is a 3x3, 5x5 or 7x7 matrix that lets you accentuate or diminish the value of the pixel that the convolution filter is centred over. A Convolution Kernel multiples, divides, adds and subtracts all the values input into the box by the individual RGB or greyscale pixel values that are in the centre and the surrounding pixel values of the convolution kernel You run a left to right and top to bottom scanning run of all pixels in an image and multiply the individual colour channel values of each pixel with all the surrounding pixels so you get a FILTERED version of that centre pixel value. You can find edges (i.e. Canny or SOBEL), filter out high frequency or super bright pixels (i.e. Hi-Pass filter) or all low frequency or super-dark pixels (i.e. Lo-Pass Filter). You can even get rid of specific pixel luminance, saturation or hues by using a Notch-based convolution kernel. The numbers you type in are merely multiplication, division, addition and subtraction factors that send a pixel value up or down on one or more RGB colour channels or HSL channels depending on what TYPE of pixel values you are filtering. Now you know! V

[@robertoprestigiacomo253]

8:01 - That's how an image filter looks like mathematically, it's a matrix used to calculate the value of a pixel (correspondent to the central element of the matrix, in this case 5) using the original pixel value and the values of the pixels around it. The matrix is scanned through the whole image (convolution). The known filter like Gaussian, Blur, etc all work like this, their result is determined by the values of the matrix elements. This window allows you to create your own filter, a super cool thing considering that today to do the same thing you have to manually open the file as a matrix and code your own filter and convolution, for example in Python or C++. It's hard to believe they don't know it because it's the most basic concept of digital image processing.

"Custom filter" is showing you an image processing kernel/convolution matrix. Essentially it's telling the program how to modify any given pixel based on the pixels surrounding it. The center cell (the one with 5) is the pixel it is currently processing, the cells surrounding it is it's neighbours. It's current config [[0,-1,0],[-1,5,-1],[0,-1,0]] is an edge detection configuration.

To do any sort of layered composite images, you had to line it up as best you could, get it where you want and deselect, then use the airbrush to tease one color towards another along the edges to soften that harsh unblended edge... like.. manually blending literally one pixel at a time by eyesight. This brings back so many memories, lol!

Used Aldus Photostyler to create file sequences for each layer. Manually copied the layers into a final composite file sequence (later used a macro recorder/programmer to automate this). Converted each final comp sequence into a GIF. Used a GIF sequencer/loader as an editor to play the shots in the correct order. Timed out the action with a stop watch, then built up a sound track using i think just 'paste mix' in windows sound player with a beep at the start to help synchronize. Recorded this to audio cassette. Hooked up my PC to the video in on my VHS recorder and the audio cassette to the audio in. Hit record on VHS, hit play on the audio cassette, waited for the beep then hit play on the GIF sequencer.
