Quoting: NeoTheFoxGreat job on that sliding preview, it really works well for side-by-side. You are very good at this Liam.

Can't take all credit. I implemented it using https://github.com/koenoe/cocoen, no point reinventing the wheel :)

Nice feature, Liam.

Do you notice a slight misalignment between the two pictures?
I wonder if this is due to the source material slightly shifted,
the post-processing or the implementation of the new feature?

I don't see any misalignment? Can you point it out?

Here it's just a pixel or so.
If I quickly move the slider, so that it's like swapping the images,
it clearly looks like the post-processed image is slightly shifted downwards.

Wait, this is strange. :)

When I freshly open the page, it looks fine.
Once I go to another comment page this misalignment occurs and stays until I freshly open the article,
say in another tab.

Firefox on Fedora.

Yet, it's really not a big thing.

Can you reproduce that?

I'm getting this consistently. Seems like the post-processed image is ~2 pixels further down, but it's barely noticeable.

Gonna need a shot, not happening at all for me. I'm thinking perhaps we're seeing the same thing differently. The effect on it does make it looks like things shift, but it's the same image in the same place.

I don't care about sharpening but this is great, we need some post-processing injectors on Linux. I was actually just messing with the latest version of ReShade. It works in Wine (at least the opengl part) and it's really great.

Quoting: PatolaAnyone had any luck compiling it under Ubuntu 18.04 with the libvulkan-dev from graphics-drivers PPA? It asks for vk_layer_dispatch_table.h which is not there.

You need to have the Vulkan sdk installed to compile vkBasalt, for Ubuntu 18.04 there is a PPA by Lunarg. But you do not need to compile vkBasalt yourself, there are precompiled Binaries

Same. I've had some success using ReShade with Dragon's Dogma, although the installer does not work, I had to copy a bunch of files.

Installing and using vkBasalt actually was a lot simpler and seems way more performant. So I'm eager to see more filters, maybe some basic colour profile stuff next. That and perhaps a way to mess with it while it's running. For people who like to do screenarchery.

The installer depends on .net so I managed to get it working in a prefix where I have .net up to 4 installed. Doesn't seem to run with Mono though, unfortunately.

Available in Fedora COPR.

There is a new version on GitHub that lets you change the sharpening strength.
