And a second entry in the exciting-discoveries-late-last-night file:
QCRegisterPrivatePatches
Enables dozens of new CoreImage kernels, the previously-described hidden patches, and a few as-of-yet-unseen patches.
Turn it on by bringing up Terminal and typing:
- On Mac OS 10.4:
defaults write -g QCRegisterPrivatePatches 1 - On Mac OS 10.5 and later:
defaults write com.apple.QuartzComposer.editor QCShowPrivatePatches 1
Lo, free of additional charge and import tariffs, one sees:
Checkerboard Image Color Channels Color Mixer Demo Cube Demo Grid Demo Sphere Demo Torus Flame Image GLSL Shader Instant Messaging Status iTunes Database Log Mathematical Expression Replicate in Time RSS Parser Sample & Hold Signal String Timecode
and lots of CoreImage kernels:

Great work here! None of the ‘stylize’ filters seem to work, and the IM status still crashes QC for me. I like the Pin Light Blend Mode, though, and the Color Wheel Generator is quite nice as well.

Sweet! The ‘stylize’ filters all seem to work for me – I just tested them – though I’m not really sure how to use all of them. Google and Apple Developer Documentation don’t return anything useful for those I’ve searched, either.
I put together a quick demo successfully using CIRefractedMaterial, CIPixelZoom, and CICheapBlur – check out http://softpixel.com/~smokris/widgets/quartzComposer/RippleDissolve.qtz
Yay… more stuff to play with - many thanks!!
I bet that these extra CI filters are ones that Aperture uses…
eg “CIBayerReconstruction”….’CIRawSharpen”… these are all CI filters that have been written for Aperture to be used in the Demosaicking and RAW->RGB conversion….
guess all systems ship with those ci filters installed even if Aperture is not installed…
does someone know if it would be possible to make a videoplaylist with the “iTunes Database”-patch? Or is it only for musik? I need something like a simple videoserver that plays all videos in one folder - one after the other.

Hi, has anyone found out how to use the debayer filters? I can’t get them to work.

This blog post applies only to Tiger. In Leopard, you need a slightly different command – check out http://kineme.net/Discussion/Leopard/PrivatePatchesLeopard .
