Instructions for Metrix Plug-In

Installing Metrix

Download the zip archive file. Unzip the downloaded archive and read the password.txt file, which gives you the password for extracting the Metrix.8bf plugin file. Extract Metrix.8bf. Quit your plug-in host application (e.g. Photoshop). Remove any old versions of Metrix.8bf from the host's plug-ins folder. Move the newly-downloaded and extracted version of Metrix.8bf to the plug-ins folder. Then, re-start the host application.

Using Metrix

1.    Convert both images to RGB if necessary.

2.    Select the areas of the images that you want to match.  For a panorama, this will be the area of overlap:

GC-L-Dem.jpg (16402 bytes)
GC-R-Dem.jpg (18209 bytes)
   
post-sel.jpg (26732 bytes)
pre-sel.jpg (25895 bytes)

 

(If you are matching a properly-cropped stereo pair, you don't need to make any selection.)

3.    Activate the image containing the colors that you want to transfer (for example, the left-hand images above).

4.    Open Metrix, which is in the "PSI" submenu of your filter menu. 

5.    Click "Analyze," then click "OK."
