Re: Display input/output preview side by side and zoom

Great. I just want to say that alt-click on previews is consistent with alt-clicking between transformations which also preserves the zoom factor.

Display input/output preview side by side and zoom

Is there a way to keep the zoom factor when switching between input, output, and input/output side-by-side preview? It seems that, for example, if the preview is zoomed to 1:1, and I switch from input to output the zoom is maintained, but switching to side-by-side the images are zoomed to fit (also ...

Adjust and Sharpen Factor = 1

It took me a while to figure it out... When Adjust is Reset to default values (including Sharpen Factror = 1) and Sharpening is enabled, recalculations are a breeze as there is no need to calculate the Mean Image (since nothing changes) and it seems to be omitted. But if I adjust the Sharpen Factor ...

Advanced Sharpten and Show Difference Button

I'm still trying to figure it out, but will ask a question ahead of time, In the Advanced Sharpen, when Show difference button in preview is pressed, does it show the difference between the output/preview and the original or the other way around? For instance, if I play with Halo Limits (Max Oversho...

Cloning/Synchronising PWP Settings to/between two computers

If PWP is installed on two computers, what is the easiest way to a) copy all the settings, saved scripts, etc. from one installation to the other at first, and b) try to synchronize changes between both installations when using them interchangeably? p.s. There is the Create Portable Installation opt...

Re: Sharpening with precise Gaussian blur

In Transformations/Test Patterns, there is the Sharpen Test image. It helps me a lot to figure out what effect various settings may have on sharpening or blurring. The image represents roughly all permutations of edge/background contrast, at 3 edge 'thicknesses' - kind of representing the 'roughness...

Re: Sharpening with precise Gaussian blur

I also think that between the Multipass and Advanced Sharpen - with all their options, edge 'spill barriers', and thresholds - you may have better luck with them in any sharpening, but just for fun you could try sharpening with masked Precise Gaussian Blur using e.g. this workflow: 1) Blur the areas...

Re: Multipoint gradient

I think for the initial control points it is possible to set the control points to any colour you want and save it in Settings. New control points seem to match the colour of the input image by default

Re: Levels & Colors feature request

You can open the Histogram Tool window when adjusting the image with the Levels and Colour dialog box. This will display the histogram of the preview of the output of the Levels and Colour. If you shift press and hold the 'mask square' right of the Amount slider, this will toggle the input and outpu...

Re: Update Available - Version 8.0.409

I have one more comment - with the understanding that this is purely my stream of consciousness and it is way beyond nitpicking. Everything works fine, it's just interesting how at least my mind seems to work. 'M' stands for mask. 'I' stands fot indirect. It just happens that the capital 'I' also re...
