  • Help!
    I just bought Contrastica a week or so ago and it’s been working beautifully – until 5 minutes ago. Now, I’m getting an error message – After Effects error: exception occurred while processing effect “Fixel Contrastica”. (25 :: 0)
    I’m using it in an adjustment layer, and it’s been great up until now. I haven’t changed any of the settings in a week. I’m working on a very tight deadline and have a TON of work to do in the next 14 days.
    I’m on MacOS 10.6.8 and have 32 GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 4870 video card.
    Help!

  • I found the HDR effect very useful … 10x
