PWP 6.0.10: Color Management not saving all settings to file

I don't change the color management settings once I've set them to the lcms CMS system, my current monitor profile and the working color space, display intent and conversion options, but I've just noticed something: when saving a color management options file, the convert-on-open option is not saved...

Remarks on PWP70-x64 Installer

I just tried it. Two issues struck me: 1) The file associations panel has all the file types already ticked. My preference is installers that let the users choose which program associations they would like established, since they may have other program associations already set up for certain file ty...

Re: RAM and Swap File

I have to apologize for my reply above, it's irrelevant to the original query. Saturday afternoon mind wanderings... Back in the Windows 2000 days, a standard piece of advice was to set the max. and min. size of the swap file to the same fixed value, to avoid any unnecessary expansion/contraction of...

Re: RAM and Swap File

Wild speculation on my part, since I've never really looked into the question, but if PWP (x64 version) is actually writing temporary files somewhere on disk while processing images, rather than just keeping everything in memory (much faster!) and allocating/re-allocating memory as required, then ex...

Re: PWP and graphics tablets

In my experience, using a tablet for photo editing is less intuitive that one might think. [...] I find that a tablet off to the side of the screen and in a different plane is no better than a mouse [...] That's exactly why I gave up on graphics tablets--there was a kind of physical/sensory mismatc...

Re: PWP and graphics tablets

I briefly tried PWP 5.0 with a small graphics tablet a few years ago (I'm relying on my memory, which may be inaccurate!). Once I had installed the operating system level tablet drivers, I could use the tablet & pen as a basic point and cursor movement mouse-like device in any program (and the b...

Re: Updating browse information

Good point about files on removable media, I hadn't thought of that.

Re: Updating browse information

Kiril, Is there any chance PWP might develop the option to move the browseinfo files to a duplicate user folder hierarchy under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\PictureWindowPro (or whatever the profile folder for PWP is called)? I don't like the browseinfo files cluttering up my picture folders. I also ...

Re: What measure does "threshold" represent in the NR widget?

Thank you for taking the time for this detailed explanation of how the various NR controls work, as well as the link to the earlier discussion of Adavenced Sharpen's Speck Removal tool and the Mask texture tool.

Re: What measure does "threshold" represent in the NR widget?

Threshold works together with the sharpen control. Ah-ha, thank you for the explanations: I had assumed from the manual's indication "Set the Threshold Control. This control has the greatest affect [sic] over how much noise reduction is applied" (p. 203) that the threshold control were so...
