Re: Update Available - Version 8.0.409

I just want to comment that the implementation of the Dependencies command turned out great - in the spirit of the Don't Make Me Think. There was one thing that 'made me think a little' initially. If I follow the Indirect say upstream dependency in a complex workflow, the focus moves to that auxilia...

Re: rain drops removal

Another way I can think of is trying to use the Levels and Colour Tool, with a large radius, to selectiely increase saturation, contrast, and dynamic range for those spots while decreasing their mid tone brightness (and possibly shifting colour balance a little warmer for those spots).

Re: rain drops removal

One idea that may improve things a little automatically is trying the Dehaze transformation.

Re: Update Available - Version 8.0.408

Cheers! Would indirect dependencies include Copy transformation too?

Re: Update Available - Version 8.0.408

I'm playing with the new Dependencies command, and I wonder if I'm getting it right. - The dependencies are shown as yellow checkmarks - i.e. they Select transformations just like the Select/Deselect buttons? - Hitting OK or Cancel doesn't make a difference as the transformations remain selected aft...

Re: Execution time - workflow efficiency

I'm still amazed by how much turning off colour management for thumbnails improved the speed of recalculations. I tried other things to accomplish that, but their effectiveness pale in comparison. I was thinking that it may be worth pointing it out for posterity by either adding a note/warning in th...

Re: Composite images : User interface suggestion

This may not help, but I find it relatively easy to determine which images contribute as auxiliary inputs to another image by looking for coloured upstream transformations that are at the end of branches (a common scenario). When I add a Bypass Transformation but forget to change the reference to it...

Re: Composite images : User interface suggestion

Left-clicking on an auxiliary thumbnail focuses on it and displays its preview. Maybe shift/ctrl/alt clicking on a thumbnail could move focus to the source image instead? On the second point, as a workaround of sorts, inserting the Bypass Transformation right after the contributing side image and in...

Re: Omitting a Branch from recalculations

Say, no transformation in the Browser is bypassed. Bypass any transformation. Select this current, just-bypassed transformation (yellow checkmark). The Set bypass and Clear bypass buttons in the Browser Menu bar are grayed out at this stage (i.e. you can't un-bypass this transformation by using Set/...
