GeForce4 MX Mac Edition and Core Image

Do I have Core Image Support under either Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard 10.5.7 using a GeForce4 MX (Mac Edition, originally installed in a QS 2002 Dual 1GHz)?
I'm running it in a Digital Audio Dual 533 in its 4x AGP Slot.
Under Leopard 10.5.7, the system profiler says its Software Supported, but I don't see any "Ripple Effect" when adding something to the Dashboard. Under Tiger 10.4.11, it says Not Supported. I thought I had at least Software support in my Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1GHz when I was running with Leopard or maybe Tiger there ... CI wasn't available in Panther 10.3.9, was it?
Any suggestions where I can get Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard GeForce 4MX user documentation?
I'd like to make to best use of it in my DA under Tiger (and maybe Leopard).
Thanks!

Bill,
I'm a little confused at what exactly "Software core image is", for information sake my eMac with an ATI 7500 (does not support core image) displays the same behaviour in 10.4 and 10.5 (Core image 'not supported' in 10.4 and 10.5 'software supported'), but no ripple effect etc..
In my experience any card that does not supported hardware-wise for Core Image won't display the ripple effect - maybe there is an underlying advantage of 'software supported' video cards but I'm not sure what - maybe it's just vague terminology which means the same thing under 10.4 and 10.5
I suppose the conclusion I have is don't expect to see the 'ripple effect' or other visual core image features :P.

Quartz Composer effects render blank white video - confused re Core Image

I've tried the Quartz Composer effects in iMovie 6 but they preview as blank white video and when I apply the effect they render as blank white video.
Here's my video config:
Chipset Model: ATY,RADEON
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-A
VRAM (Total): 32 MB

Core Image: Not Supported
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off

Quartz Extreme: Supported
After reading this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/imovie/hottips/
I see that the Quartz Composer effects are supported only for Core Image supported video cards. I think that means I'm out of luck. It seems odd that the effects still attempt to render and be applied even if my system doesn't support them. Is something wrong with my installation, or is this expected behavior?
I've seen statements here on the discussions that Quartz Extreme should enable effects like the ripple when opening or closing Dashboard Widgets. My card does support Quartz Extreme but I do not see the ripples. I'm guessing that it's actually Core Image that produces those effects and that's why I don't see them. Is that a correct guess?
I guess I'm confused over the difference between Quartz Extreme and Core Image.
Thanks for clearing up my confusion...

Quartz Extreme, as I understand it, is used by OS X for drawing windows
That is true. Quartz Extreme is a special, hardware accelerated instance of Quartz. Quartz is OS X's native drawing environment. When Quartz Extreme is not supported, Quartz will be used instead.
Quartz Composer is something else that builds on Quartz. It appears it requires Core Image. Core Image is a set of graphics routines that allow image manipulation (if you have the developer package installed, you can also find an application called 'Quartz Composer' that you can use to define effects, screensavers etc).
Core Image also intents to leverage your GPU. Apple's Documentation alleges that if there is no GPU available it will use the CPU instead. Theoretically, your Mac should support Core Image. Yet...
From Dennis' System specs:
Core Image: Not Supported
This may be the reason why you can't use these effects in iMovie. Because of shortcomings in iMovie's plug-in API, the plug-ins may still show up in the f/x panel - they simply will not function when selected.
Perhaps a later version of OS X enables CoreImage on all Macs?
Hope this helps,

Hi Leek Mibles;
May I welcome you to the Apple Discussion Forums.
The reason your system is telling you it can do Core Image is because it doesn't have the hardware to support it. Since your system is a PowerBook, you are unable to upgade the graphic card because it is soldered in. So I am sorry to say that the only way for you to get Core Image is to upgrade your whole system.

Does my emac support 'core image' ...?

Hi
1. Does my emac model cupport core image ??
( My graphics card is listed as : GeForce2 MX )
2. What is core image btw ??
thanks for yr attention
d

Answering #2 first, here's what Apple says (scroll down a couple of subheads):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/wn09.html
and this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301347
shows the system requirements and how to tell if you video card supports it. That should answer the first part.

Core Image Question New ATI 9800 in QS 2x1ghz

I just installed a Radeon 9800 Mac Edition (128MB) in my Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1ghz w/ 1.5 GB RAM running Leopard.
I downloaded and installed the latest version of ATI Displays (4.5.7).
In System Profiler, under Core Image, it says, "Hardware Accelerated" instead of "Supported" like I expected it to say.
I do have two CRT monitors connected to the card, but it says the same thing if I only have the main connected.
Profiler says this:
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro:
Chipset Model: ATY,R350
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 128 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-A0750A-201
Displays:
VGA Display:
Resolution: 1024 x 768 @ 75 Hz

Core Image: Hardware Accelerated

Resolution: 1152 x 870 @ 75 Hz
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Hardware Accelerated
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Supported
Should I be concerned about this? Is there a way to change it to "Supported"? Is there something obvious I'm missing?
Thanks!

When I installed Leopard on my Quicksilver I noticed the wording went from Supported to Hardware Accelerated for my Radeon 9600.
From what I've read about Core Image in the past, if a programmable GPU isn't available, AltiVec may be used. The following link contains some additional information:
http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/macosx-10-4.ars/15
I'm wondering if the wording has been changed to reflect whether it's performed by the GPU or not. It would be interesting to see what's shown for graphics cards that don't support Core Image.

Core image funhouse

Ok, I've been searching for over an hour now, so I've come here. My roomate has a macbook pro, I just bought a new macbook, so its about a year newer than his. he has an app on his mac called CORE IMAGE FUNHOUSE. this app looks like something I want but my mac doesnt seem to have it and I cant find anywhere I can download it, I read all the posts about Core image stuff, I dont really care about that, I just want to have access to this program. can someone help me out??

It's part of your Xcode 2.2 developer tools. You should find them on your install DVD.
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/coreimage.html
Tools for Exploration
Tiger comes with two tools that are extremely useful for exploring the capabilities of Core Image. The first is Core Image Fun House, pictured to the right. Core Image Fun House is a simple test bed application that allows you to get started and experiment with Image Units. You can start out with a base image, apply a color control filter, an exposure adjust filter, white point adjust filter, and a color blend mode filter—all the while watching the filters being applied to the source image in real time. By using Core Image Fun House and seeing how Image Units work, you can get a feel for how Image Units could be used in your own applications.

Core Image?

Hey, I've recently switched to mac after being disappointed with my old pc. So far it's been great and I'm thoroughly happy. I'm interested in graphics and use Photoshop, Image Ready and iPhoto. So to increase my graphics options I decided to use Core Imgage that I have heard and read about, however, a Spotlight search shows that I don't have it. So I'm wondering does Core Image come with 10.4.7? Or has something gone pear-shaped and for some reason i don't have it for whatever reason. If so, is there a place I can download it, as I've not seen anything on the Apple site.
Thanks for any replies.

Mac OS X 10.4: Requirements for Quartz Extreme and Core Image graphics
If you're wondering what the video requirements are for Quartz Extreme and Core Image in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, find out in this informative document.
Note: Quartz Extreme and Core Image are impressive video enhancements in Tiger that appear on fast Macs. But even if you have an older computer that can't use Quartz Extreme or Core Image, it can still run Tiger if it meets the system requirements. If you have a third-party video card installed, contact the card manufacturer to determine if it is Tiger-compatible.
Quartz Extreme
Some appealing graphics effects, such as the "rotating cube" effect you see when using Fast User Switching to switch users, are powered by Quartz Extreme. Quartz Extreme uses OpenGL and a supported graphics card to reduce the number of onscreen calculations being performed by the CPU. To take advantage of Quartz Extreme, you need one of the following graphics cards:
ATI: Any AGP-based ATI RADEON GPU, with 16 MB VRAM or better.
NVIDIA: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX or later, with 16 MB VRAM or better.
Core Image
Other graphics effects and optimizations in Tiger, such as the ripple effect that shows when you place a widget on Dashboard, are driven by Core Image. When a programmable GPU is present, Core Image uses the graphics card for image processing operations, freeing the CPU for other tasks. To take advantage of Core Image, you need one of the following graphics cards:
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
ATI Radeon 9550, 9650, 9600, 9600 XT, 9800 XT, X800 XT
nVidia GeForce FX Go 5200
nVidia GeForce FX 5200 Ultra
nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL, 6800 GT DDL
If you have a different card, contact the manufacturer for Core Image compatibility information.
Verifying compatibility with System Profiler
With Mac OS X 10.4, you can use System Profiler to make sure your computer's GPU supports Quartz Extreme or Core Image.
Open System Profiler (it's in /Applications/Utilities, or, if started from the Tiger install disc, open it from the Utilities menu).
Click "Graphics/Displays" under Contents.
In the right pane under "Display," look for the Quartz Extreme and Core Image lines; next to each, you will see either "Supported" or "Not Supported."

Core Image - do I need it?

I'm thinking of making a few upgrades to pep up my 2001 Quicksilver 867MHz.
My present graphics card is the OEM GeForce2 Mx with 32MB VRAM installed the 4x AGP slot. This card does NOT support Apple's Core Image. I don't really understand what Core Image is all about. Some of Apple's info suggests that if my video card does not support Core Image, then displaying graphics requires more CPU power under Tiger.
I do not play games which require high frame rates (I do play the Myst series, up through IV - but I doubt it is taxing my video card). I also do Photoshop and iMovie/iDVD, but nothing major. Most of my iMovies have been from stills, not video.
My question is this - would there be any advantage to getting a video card which supports Core Image for a non-gamer who does not do heavy duty video editing? Should I expect to see any improvement in general 2D responsiveness if I had an updated video card?
Thanks,
-GW

Mostly, core graphics just makes things faster, but there are some functions that require it. e.g. adjusting the video (brightness, contrast, color) of DVD player or QuickTime movies.

Core image and acd compatible cards for cube

I recently bought a second hand G4 Cube online and I am going to update it to Tiger. Now I haven't received the cube yet, but I was thinking along with the OS update, to change the graphics card too with something better. The cube has the Apple Cinema Display along and Tiger have core image. I can find a list with the core image compatible cards on this site, but I cannot find anywhere a list with all the cards that support both acd and core image and are agp x2 compatible. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Christos

For a Cube, I think there is only one possibility for both ADC and Core Image.
The Radeon 9700 which shipped with G4 MDDs.
Here is one, priced insanely...
Link
From the picture, it looks like this particular one is 4x/8x AGP only (the AGP connector is shown with only one notch instead of 2).
One other possibility would be to use a compatible Radeon 9800 or Geforce 6200 and an (expensive) ADC adapter like this one.

Camera RAW image support for Pentax K100D

Hi,
Firstly, let me just say I have a MacBook Pro which came preloaded with Tiger. A month or so ago I upgraded to Leopard and I have applied all the available Apple software update.
I recently got a Pentax K100D digital SLR camera capable of taking images in RAW format (the pentax saves these with a .PEF file extension) and I have been trying to view these images in Leopard. I read the article below, which says that Leopard provides system-level support for the Pentax K100D camera RAW format.
*Digital camera RAW formats supported by Mac OS X 10.5*
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835
Now, my problem is that I cannot seem to be able to open the .PEF files with neither Quick Look, Preview, iPhoto or Aperture. Basically, none of these programs seem to be able to display my .PEF files. Aperture says 'unsupported image format'.
I have installed the software that came with my Pentax (i.e. Pentax Photo Browser and Pentax Photo Laboratory) and these applications can display the .PEF images just fine. For what it's worth, I installed this software before I upgraded to Leopard.
If I right-click on a .PEF file in Finder, the only programs listed in the Open context menu are the above two Pentax applications.
So, what am I missing? Clearly something seems to be screwy in my Leopard set up. Is there some way to 'repair' the RAW image support in Leopard??
I would appreciate any help in fixing this as I would really like to start working with RAW images in Aperture and iPhoto.
Finally, just be aware that I am not an experienced Mac user. I have always used Windows until now and so... if you have a fix for this I would really appreciate a slightly more elaborate response.
Thanks in advance,
Eddie

I have done a little more research on this...
As it turns out, my camera is a Pentax K100D Super - not a K100D. The K100D Super is not listed as one of the supported camera RAW formats in the aforementioned article. So I guess this means that my camera is as yet unsupported. Sigh...

Core Image Cards for Powermac G4 Dual MDD FW800

Hello there Gentlemen, currently running my Dual G4 with a ATI Pro Radeon 9000. This card does NOT Support Core Image. i need however ADC for
my flat panel from Apple 20". So what are my choices to get a card
that does core image and will drive my Cinema display?
cheers
sir double null

Hey null,
looks like we have close to the same machine. I have the 9000 card in my machine also and recently purchased the ATI 9800 which is supposed to be a great card. Unfortunately, it isn't working for me yet. I don't know if the problem is just my computer or something else. I have an open thread just two below yours:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=264933&tstart=0
Here's the link for graphics cards that support core image..
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301347
I don't see the 9800 listed in this list? But I could have sworn it was on the list a couple months ago, at least the 9800 was in order to run Motion. It's so completely frustrating.
Post back if you get a video card working and what it is.
