Bug in Essentials 6
Purcased NewBlue Essentials 6 and it’s a great plugin. I really love it. However when rendering the “Picture in Shape” plugin it leaves me with white flashes and jitter.
NewBlue told me to uncheck the box that says Disable GPU. Then all worked fine in my case.
Trouble is that box is located in the “About” tab and who would think of looking there! So just a heads up in case others are having the same issue.

Roger, i avoid using all the new line of everything GPU from NewBlueFX. I however still use and love their old versions.

Steve, the new GPU versions are working great in most cases. However, it is dependent on the video card and driver. With the wide variety of combinations out there, there will certainly be some issues from time to time.

Thats only part of it, and this is what frustrates me
about the whole GPU process, and frustrates so many many users. Many are not
technically inclined to understand most of the loops involving which
series card works with which software, which driver version, etc etc.
I personally save myself the headaches in my workflow, by simply
staying away from too much of a GPU intensive/dependent software
or plugin.Steve Rhoden

I tend to agree with Steve here. Software authors/vendors should sell their GPU accelerated wares with a confirmed tested list of GPUs and drivers. It is a bit like a high performance car manufacturer saying “it runs on petrol” when in fact the engine must have higher grade fuel and not standard unleaded.

Thats true Phil, everyone keeps dishing out GPU enabled
software, GPU enabled plugins, GPU enabled Cards, Latest
driver for the XRMNC-786 Graphic Series….How on earth
the average Joe will be able to keep up and edit in peace?
There needs to be a Controlled standard, specification listings,
proper testing,etc, etc….No one wins if this technology is
handled in this messy way.Steve Rhoden

Any current nVidia or ATI card with a current video driver should work fine. Where we are seeing the most issues is with people using five year old computers and wondering why their GPU accelerated software is not working. Either their card is not compatible or their driver is wildly out of date.
Another instance is when people are using a totally incompatible card. For example, our GPU accelerated effects do not support the Intel HD Graphics cards at this time. While this may change in the future, this is the case today.
