Are there any FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) plugins for Photoshop CC?

Hello,

I'd like to know if there are any FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) plugins for Photoshop CC, since I'd only find a free one by Alex Chirikov, which however is way obsolete for versions later than CS4 (and also supposedly introducing noise too, unlike paid plugins, for which however I have found no further reference).

So, are there any other free or paid FFT plugins?

Thank you

Alfred

Yes, here's one for photoshop 64 bit versions on windows:

There is also Fixel FFT Wizard (Free Plug In) which supports Windows and macOS (CS6 and above):

There was an update to the retouchpro forum, so those URLs are no longer valid (posts are still there somewhere, but at a different URL).

Anyway, the plugins have now been reworked, and actions for semi-automating the process has been created. They are now hosted at http://ft.rognemedia.no/

It now supports color images, and the process has been improved to give considerably better results than the old "manually paint over the stars"-method.

This version of the Fourier transform plugins includes:

8, 16, and 32 bit/color channel
RGB individual channels (not desaturated)
1D, 2D, and 3D Half and Full spectrum transforms.

They all are open-source and use the FFTw software for the transforms. The individual transforms should be applied only using the Ft Fourier Transform Suite script rather than from the Filter menu as a standard RGB file cannot hold the amount of data generated. Windows and Mac with Photoshop CS6 through CC present (2018).

These are being loaded to GitHub - rechmbrs/FtPattern: Ft Fourier transforms C++ code for Photoshop WinMac and Pattern Suppression Action but it is not complete yet.

Presently working on documentation and history.

Need persons to read docs and ask question to fill in missing documentation. Help will be accepted if you have time.
