FILTERiT 5: Migrating and converting object from previous FILTERiT 4

[ Index ]

 

The compatibility issue with the object from the previous version may occur on “Effect” Object and “Live” Object. Please follow the steps explained below to migrate or convert to the FILTERiT 5 compatible object.

Effect Object:

“Fractalize Effect” can migrate as it is. However, “Distortion” setting on FILTERiT 4 was relative to object size, and in FILTERiT 5 it is relative to segment length divided by the specified value.
Additionally, “Distortion” setting on FILTERiT 5 can only be specified relatively. Because of this, the size of Distortion can not be reproduced as in FILTERiT 4.

Live Object:

Live Object (ex. Live Neon) created with FILTERiT 4 (4.5 and later*) can convert to the FILTERiT 5 object by either one of procedures below.

A confirmation window is displayed before the conversion. To proceed, please click “Yes” button.
Regardless of OS platform (Mac or Win), you can convert FILTERiT 4 object to FILTERiT 5 object. The converted FILTERiT 5 object can be opened in both Mac and Win.

NOTE: “Live Tiling” Object may create the discrepancy in space between tiles due to the specification change.

NOTE: If you save converted file, you can no longer go back to previous FILTERiT 4 version (Undo will not work.) If necessary, we recommend creating the backup file before processing the conversion.

* Live Object created with version 4.4 and before can not be converted. In FILTERiT 5, please expand using “Illustrator > Object > Expand…” menu command. You may lose functions of Live Object, but its appearance will be maintained.
** If it was created from FILTERiT 4 “Live 3D Transform” submenu, please select FILTERiT5 “Live 3D Path.”
