Thanks for posting this, I've was wondering what post-process rendering did.

Thank you very much for sharing this Tom. 
Now i'm almost ready to send some of my work to print.
Did you already make some prints for yourself or others?
I wonder how i might get the resolution up to 300 dpi, as requested by my printing house.
... maybe i'll let DA handle the printing.

I'm starting to feel comfortable with the basic program offerings and ready to venture into Post-processing. Thank you for spelling out simply and clearly what happens and the ranges that are most likely to yield desireable results. Many thanks!

Wow... I'm embarrassed to say that I've been using Apo for five years and I never knew about this. Thanks for the information. I'm going to try it out!

I realize this tutorial has been around a while, but I just had a look at it and it was very helpful! I've rarely done any post work, but this is just so easy to do right from Apo! I'll probably post process most everything now. It helps you learn the what everything actually does too!
Thanks

I have started to recommend it to other people who look to need this, so thank you for taking the time to show the ropes.
Contrast seems to work on a decibel scale more so than a linear one, if I adjust contrast, I do it to .1 or .01 to kill over-saturation and bright-spots.

This is a great tutorial. I was never sure what "Postprocess render" thing was or what it did, so I never tried it. Thanks for this!

I'm glad you've found it useful!

Contrast can be used to reduce oversatuation in the image. I can counteract the bright spots from low gamma values by dropping the contrast to .1 or in severe cases .01

I always wondered what the post process render was

I use the postprocess render function exclusively now. I had always wondered how people were getting higher quality flames than me even when I rendered at a very high quality, now I know. The best coloring I got so far was by using a Vibrancy 2 level on a pink picture

and although the high value did brighten a bit much it worked for this particular picture.
Thanks for the all the info, tuts, scripts, you rock dude!

I was slightly curious as to what the purpose of that was... I had played around with it once, but didn't really do much. Thanks for the tutorial

I've been meaning to try out that checkbox, but kept forgetting! I'm surprised this hasn't been trumpeted as a breakthrough new feature by the developers

Sofar I did post work where necessary in psp but you tempt me to try the apo internal program. Thank you very much for this very well made tutorial.

Very well written tutorial. I understood the basics of how to use Post-Process, but having used flam3 for over a year now to render, that function never really intrigued me. Now it does.

Fascinating! Well written. I had never tried that. But I rarely feel the need (I used to post-process in PSP, but haven't done that in a long time). However, occasionally, it might be useful. I'll try it out. Thanks!

Woot! I really didn't know about this. lol I'll employ this tutorial soon...

Very informative indeed! Thanks for your efforts and our education

I had somewhat of an idea on how to use the gamma and the brightness. Most of the time I just used photoshop for that, but this tutorial was very informational!
Thanks for showing it!

I keep finding that the effect of a post xform is not much different than a final xform. They both seem to have very similar effects...making larger/smaller, expanding/contracting certain aspects, turning perspectives etc. Should I concentrate on one particular xform for a post xform? Maybe the one or two which have the most effect on the flame? It is VERY frustrating. I have so admired the work you have posted, saying "Uses post xform." and I think "I never get anything like those results." I think this is the biggest hurdle I have yet to cross. By trial and error I have made some sense out of most of the other Apo functions, but this one completely eludes me!

Ok, if I get some time this week I'll make a tutorial for Post transforms too.

Thanks for taking the time to prepare this tut, Tom. It's much appreciated.

so i presume it doesn't take as long to alter as it did to render in the first place?

Wow, I've heard so many people say that they've used Post-Process Render, but I had no idea what that meant. I've also been looking to try to change the background but I didn't know how. Cool, thanks!!

Thanks for the info. I have played with those functions but never knew some of the things you covered here. regards...
