Amplify Color Not Working at All [SOLVED]

[arvinmoses]

A few friends and I are working on a color graded game with a feel similar to Limbo. I saw AC Color awhile back and decided to try it out. However none of it is working. System specs first:

Intel 4700k
GTX 670

Photoshop CC
Unity 4.3.3
Windows 8.1

Here is what I've tried doing:
1. Using the Photoshop Direct Connect - I've tried firewall options, adjust passwords, running as admin, Photoshop running. All results lead to "There was an Error. Check if the host is available to this machine".
2. Running manual screenshot export - Result gray image with the LUTs on the upper left.
3. Using Sample Luts included in package - Results - No image change.

Could someone please tell me what I might be doing wrong.
Downloaded trial from Amplify Color page.

Does it only work on Pro??

[Ricardo Teixeira]

Yes it only works in Unity Pro, was that the issue?

[arvinmoses]

Yes. However photoshop connection still not working.

[Ricardo Teixeira]

Yes it should still connect, the only limitation is the lack of Render To Texture capabilities in the free version of Unity.

Amplify Color would be great for the type of effect you require, do you plan do upgrade in the future?

[Diogo Teixeira]

Yes. However photoshop connection still not working.

arvin, there are two very important notes to get PS connection working:

1) Make sure your Build Target is set to Standalone. When the Build Target to Webplayer, Unity will block connections to outside applications to emulate security measures. You can change it using the "Switch Platform" in Build Settings

2) Make sure you're using Photoshop 5.1+. Earlier versions don't allow remote connections.

I hope this helps.

Cheers.
