House/Trance "filter effect"

I'm trying to recreate what I'm sure is a pretty standard production/Logic "trick", I just don't know how... What I'm talking about is the (clichéd) filter effect that can be heard for instance in this track around the 2:00 mark (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9Xtvj_JVSM).
So far I've only come up with putting an insert, let's say Spectral Gate, on the Out 1-2 track, and then Automating a Bypass on/off type situation. But I'm sure there's a better way, and besides, that one's not very subtle (nor accurate or smooth) at all.

Hmm... I'm not quite getting the results I'm looking for, the way Bill suggested... I did add new Channel Strips, put its input to a Bus. But how do I get it to apply to all tracks, like in "French filter House", not just one or two single tracks? Add an individual Bus Send to each track? Is there a smarter way to do that, I've got dozens and dozens of tracks.
Anyway, I think I got the result I want by adding a High Pass Filter to the master output track Out1-2, then automating it.
That tutorial Immo suggested looks useful too, thank you.
Actually that track I posted wasn't even a good example of what I was looking for, lol. Couldn't find another one.

Creating a gif that is a progression of filter effects

I want to take a single image and create a gif from it that is a sequence of frames with a particular Photoshop filter effect going from a maximum to zero effect. Lets take for example a Gaussian filter. The initial frame would have a heavy Gaussian filter applied and the last frame would have no filter applied. I want the effect to take maybe a second or two with 10 to 20 frames per second.
I don't imagine this will be trivial or easy... that's not my question. My question is if anyone has suggestions on how to optimize the work flow in creating this effect.
I'm a programmer and I've done photoshop javascript programs in the distant distant past if that might help but I'm not sure if this project requires that level of effort.
Thank you for your time,
pedzsan

Yes. This is much easier than I expected. The wonders of progress.
There are two ways to do it. Your method is more general purpose and more accurately accomplishes my original objective. Another method is to make one duplicate layer and apply the filter to it. Then create a video timeline and change the opacity of that layer from 100% at the beginning of the time period to 0% at the end of the time period (two "key frames" ?). Then export the gif.
Thank you for your reply,
pedzan

Where are the filter/effect presets saved on a Mac?

I've searched a bit but can't seem to find anything but tutorials on saving your own presets.
On my old Mac I had a few presets which I liked, and so I want to copy them to my new Mac. I have a Time Machine backup and I managed to find my export presets, but need a bit of help on the filter/effect presets.
Thanks in advance!

Good to know, but unfortunately my old computer broke so I can't export the presets, I only have the Time Machine back up.
Surely they get saved somewhere in the program files?

Filter effects in Flash 5

Hi all,
How can Filter effects be given in Flash 5?

If it is a shape that you know you can create a shadow in a graphics program like Photoshop, save it as a png, and then import it to Flash.
If you are doing something like a dialog box with round corners and straight edges you can chop up the png for straight parts and the rounded corners and then using rotation and scaling only use two little bits for the shadow.
There are many, many tricky ways that people have learned to fake it over the years. Only limited by your creativity and your artistic skills.

Pdf files become pixelated when filter effects are applied...

I have some pdf files in my Motion 4 project. When I uncheck the "fixed resolution" box, they pdf files look great. But when I proceed to add any filter effect like any of the Glow filters, the pdf file becomes all pixelated and looks horrible. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,

Filters fix the resolution, rasterizing the vector graphics. Try make it very large, the apply the filter to the containing layer and shrink the layer to be the desired size...

Why am I getting a red and blue haze over my oil paint filter effect in photoshop cs6?

Why am I getting a red and blue haze over my oil paint filter effect in photoshop cs6? I am currently using a trial version.

The last time someone reported this problem with Oil paint, the fix was to go Preferences (Ctrl k) > Performance and set the cache levels to something other than '1'. If you cache levels were not previously set to 1 then we'll need to think again.

Radial Filter effect not exported to Photoshop, why?

Suddenly while working on may images in LR5, doing all the usual with Development module I've realised that Radial filter effect is not being exported to CS5; all others ark: healing, spotting, grad filter, and brushes are ok. is it me or there is something wrong with the system?

In which case, have a read of this:

How to retain filter effects from photoshop

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to retain filter effects in
an image in photoshop and import into flash.
(ie.Overlay, lighten, screen, etc.)
Is this possible and if so will it slow down the speed of the
swf. file by a massive amount?
Cheers

You can apply (most of) these same filters and blend modes to
any image using only Flash 8
or
You can save the file out of photoshop as a png, gif, or jpg
file. The filter effect will be "flattened" into the final image

Filter Effect and Layer Style in the same layer vs separate layers

I'm adjusting a photographic image and am using both a filter effect and a layer style in the same layer on a Smart Object. I want to separate the two effects into two layers, so one layer has the filter effect (Nik) and one layer has the layer style (Color Overlay) (with the goal of merging/rasterizing the Nik filter effect with the Smart Object but keeping the layer style unmerged). I can make two layers and move one effect without problem, but the visual result of each effect on a separate layer is quite different from having both effects in the same layer. The Blend Mode for all my layers is Normal. Within the Color Overlay panel, the blend mode is Linear Burn.
I don't understand why the visual result is different. I'm not an advanced user of Photoshop, so maybe I'm missing something. This is a trial of CS6 that I'm using.
Layer 1: a layer style and a filter effect, stacked
looks very different from....
Layer 2: a layer style
Layer 1: a filter effect

If you want two separate layers, then on the duplicate layer with the Color Overlay layer style you might try different layer blending modes.
For example, below looks the same having the Color Overlay with linear burn on the second layer and changing the layers blend mode to Hue.
You could also put the layer in a group and apply the layer style to the group.

What are "filter effects"?

I have an assignment for school and I was told NOT to use filter effects. I've never used Illustrator CS5.1 before so I have no idea what filter effects are. First are any of the tools on the left side filter effects? I used the blur tool under the effects menu under Photoshop Effects is that a "filter effects". Please don't be rude I have no idea what I'm doing.
Thanks!

"Filter effects" ... hhmmmmm. I would consider all those entries listed in the menu "Effects" as "filter effects" although there are some in it that don't fall into the category of the typical eye-candy stuff. Restriting especially their use is not too clever. As graphic styles can include effects, you should be carefull with them as well.
Maybe your teacher considers the use of the liquify tools as effects as well. Or the envelope function. Maybe you should ask your teacher, which tool you are allowed to use.

Blue filter effect on non-apple displays

Hey,
i am still waiting for my new mac pro and researching to buy a minimum of 24" display for it. I used Imacs before so I am used to Apple's original colors and tones. However my wife's powerbook is hooked up to a 23" gateway HD 2275w monitor and the colors really suck on that monitor. It is nowhere near the powerbooks' tones. Color calibration of apple's system preferences also don't seen to be able to ix it. Anybody out there has experience w non-apple displays? Is there a way to overcome that "blue filter effect" on a non-apple display?
Thanks,
M

Color on LCDs can be affected by the backlighting. Flouresent backlights run a a significant gamut of color from warm red to cool blue.

How can I transfer my photo taken with iPhone5 filters maintaining filter effects ? I always have colored photo without filter effect on my iMac !!!

How can I transfer my photo taken with iPhone5 filters maintaining filter effects ? I always have colored photo without filter effect on my iMac !!!

no completely satisfactory answer but you can :
1) email photos to yourself (tedious if you have a lot of filtered)
2) create shared file in iPhone and bring into iPhoto (and maybe Aperture - not tested yet) with filter effects
3) import to iPhoto and add effects from there (likely needs latest version to mirror iPhone filter)
see this thread for more explanation on these workarounds: iPhone isn't transferring photos taken with built-in filters

How do I find out what filter effect I used on an image after I have saved it?

I used a series of filters that gave an image a very cool painterly - impressionistic painting - quality. I have forgot what steps I took to get that effect. I have tried to go back and look at the image history but that did not tell me anything since I already saved the image. The finished photo looked like swirly painted brush strokes with depth just like you would get if you actually painted it.
I recall an old program like Fractal Painter used to have some filters like that. I don't think Fractal Painter even exists anymore. Does anyone know what I may have done to get that effect or how I can look at the image data to figure out what filters I used?

Thanks rkelly! You put me on the right track with the missing oil paint filter. It's not in 2014 CC for some reason.

Automatic filter effect is causing me grief.

Ive used AF many times before, and ive never had this problem up until now.
What it is doing is causing the track it is affecting to fade out half way through the song, then it "pops" back in.
if i stop the song as it starts to fade out, and play again, the effect wont be happening, however later in the song, it will fade out again.
Im using AF to make stutters during a certain part of the track.
The rest of the track is unaffected (minus that mysterious fade out), and plays normally.
anyways, im sorry if that doesnt quite make sense, if you can help of if you need anything clarified please help.

changing settings doesnt do anything
i'd rather not remove the filter, ive got...i dunno what to call it. Theres a drop down bar below where you put the notes, you can control the track volume and pan through it, or whatever else you want, and i got the speed settings fine tuned D=
aaanyways... yeah, ill give that a shot, hopefully my previous info stays.
EDIT::
Looks like duplicating the track and turning the filter off, sliding the bar down a point then back up, and turning the filter back on worked....
Thanks anyways

Creating a single clip for video filter effect

I know this seems like an easy question but I am trying to create a sequence in which all of my clips appear as one clip so that I can fade a video effect in and out over the course of a a few minutes. I thought the answer was by nesting the files but when I do this there doesn't seem to be a way to access the viewer's filter controls to alter the amount of the effect that I want. I click on the nest and it sends me to the original sequence in which it only allows me to alter video filters clip by clip. Please let me know what I should be doing instead. Thanks in advance.

If you NEST the footage then if you CONTROL click on the nest you can select OPEN IN VIEWER. But personally I hate nesting...very messy. I would Mark IN, and OUT in the range you want, then export a Quicktime Movie, self contained...then reimport that.
